Just got sleeved on Thursday, October 31st



Recommended Posts

Take thinks slow and easy. Focus on getting in fluids first and food second. I wasn't able to eat much more than a few bites of popsicle a day for the first week. So I focused on staying hydrated.

Elliot everyone,

Just got sleeve two days ago. Having a difficult time getting Water and Protein in. Any advice?

I agree, take your time your stomach has to relearn what you want it to do so it takes time. There are liquid Proteins out there that you can add to Water and it's like drinking Vitamin water and it's not chalky like the powders are. Popsicles are great for keeping your fluids up. When you can, try strained cream Soups the flavors are great after the initial water and broth you are probably on. Best wishes on your journey.

Congratulations of getting sleeved! My surgery is not scheduled until December 9th so I can't provide you much in the way of advice. Have you tried Isopure, the Liquid Protein? Perhaps if you sip it slowly? Have you had any amount of pain from your surgery and do you feel hunger or the desire to eat? Best of luck to you!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
