Hello, New To Site... 6 Days Post Op Band To Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello here from Dallas/ Fort Worth, I was told about this site from a good friend of mine. I'm six days out still very sore and seems to be sharp gas pains anytime I drink more than a few sips.. Normal?? Also, how are you guys getting all the fluids in? Any Vitamins you recommend over others? I was told a chewable multi and b-12 for under tounge... I'm sorry I'm rambling I think cabin fever is surely starting to kick in... Thanks ;)

I live in Dallas. Today is day 5 for me. Just got out of the hospital yesterday. I stayed a little longer because of spasm in the esophagus. Feeling great now.

I like Ungury everything. Their Vitamins and Protein powder.

Today was the first day I could get in all my liquid. And only drank one and a half shake. It was an all day task. Sip sip sip.

I don't go back to work till the first week in December. I don't really know how that will work but will make do somehow.

I feel amazing so I have the tendency to over do. Need to rest more.

Can't wait till I can eat meat!

Wish you the best. T

I'm in Dallas also. Dr Jeffrey Henke did my sleeve a week ago - Wed 11/13. He's in practice with Dr. Joseph Kuhn, who is better known. I haven't had any difficulty getting my Water / Protein in since post op day 2. I'm going back to work tomorrow.

The Vitamins I like are from CelebrateVitamins.com, and the Protein shakes I like best - actually, the only ones I can stand - are Premier Protein chocolate. I actually like them!

Welcome to the group! Everyone has been VERY supportive, and very helpful.

      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.
