Recommended Posts

I'm Oct 11th also in Pontiac MI... I had an 8 day preop diet.

Surgery isn't till 2 PM and i'm not supposed to eat or drink after midnight... think that it's going to be rough.

I'm nervous and excited.

Me too. I had to stop drinking my shakes at 4 PM today and am freaking myself out over not being able to have the Protein shakes. Too funny. Healthy surgery to you and I will check in when I'm awake.

How are all the October 11th sleevers doing?

Here is my checkin...

My surgery was at 7 am Friday and I was discharged Saturday at 11 am.

I overall feel great, liquids going down good. I have 5 incisions (only the one that my tummy was pulled through hurts). My doctor isn't concerned with me getting my Protein in first week, only supposed to focus on getting enough liquids. I didn't have a drain or a catheter.

I am feeling a bit restless, trying to walk around lots. I could probably go back to work in a few days.

I was sleeved on the 11th. Stayed in the hospital 2 nights, it was part of the package. I feel really well and pain is minimal and only present when getting up, etc. I hope all the 11th sleevers are doing as well.

I was sleeved on Friday at 2:00pm. The first day wasn't bad. I was really sore about 24-36 hrs after surgery. Just kept making myself move. Never really had much gas pain.

Went home yesterday. Pain isn't bad. Any sip of anything causes a series of grumbles.

Was really surprised by the fact that a sip is filling my entire stomach.

Hello sleevers, I was the few who became very sick and nauseous for four days. Rough period but today I feel like a new person. I'm like you and the only place that hurts is where my stomach came through - hasta la vista tummy! I still have some of the gas from surgery but I'm walking it out. I'm so happy I did it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
