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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
