Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My sis had to do room temp or warmer at first. Had to use a couple drops of Mio in her Water. Supposedly, water has a lower tension level when you add Mio or Crystal Lite, so it goes down easier.

Try Gatorade too.

CC and Jen- glad to hear you're doing ok. I still have gas on day 3, but feels little better. No nausea and swallowing getting easier.

Oh yeah- they gave me a patch behind my ear for nausea before the surgery. Might be why my nausea is low.

Are you still in the hospital. I know the gas hurts but, other than that, you seem to be rockin n rollin

Hahaha!!! I'm sorry but that's hilarious. I just mix unflavored with mio or crystal lite in a Blender Bottle. Then add ice. The opening is small so I don't have to smell it. I don't use Unjury. I use my wls clinic's or Herbalife. Herbalife is by the spoonful. Not a scoop.

I've been home since Wed. Night. Still have trapped air in body. Tummy looks like I'm about 4 months along; granted the two hernia repairs probably added to this. Got in 60oz. + last night.

Okay. I'm still loopy so forgive any silly spelling errors.

I made it!!!

This is my fourth surgery in four years and I have never been this loopy and put if it this long. Because of that I only got out of bed four times post op to pee. I haven't really walked yet.

I got to have ice chips and room temp Water immediately, which surprised me. But I haven't had much due to the nausea. Oh boy, the nausea! But thank god I'm having no has pains. I had such awful gas pains with my previous surgeries.

Well, this is make me tired and nauseas so TTFN!

I'm so glad your doing good! Thanks for the progress report. Hope to hear more when your feeling better!

Bree, are they giving you anything for the spasms?

Nope. Doc told me that with my switch to full liquids that they would begin to go away. I started full liquids last night and they really have subsided. Still get one every once in a while but hey, I just had 85% of my stomach removed. It can be expected.

I remember being like that after my gallbladder was removed. Lol. It took over a week for mine to go down. Hang in there n it'll go away. That's an amazing job on getting your Water done! Woot woot!!

Awesome. I learned a little something new with that. It's good that full liquids calm it down.

Mio is the absolute worst thing you can put in your water. Its actually antifreeze and has to be shipped to stores via haz-mat trucks. Chemicals in it are terrible! Just a heads up!

I felt like the Clear Liquids weren't giving my stomach something to do. So when I had some cream of chicken and pudding, I feel like my sleeve was like 'Yes! WORK!' Haha!

      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.
