Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I didn't sleep at all the night before surgery!

Neither did I. I couldn't. Not a wink. Then I had a 3 hr drive to the hospital.

Ok! First morning post-op! I feel great! No gas pain, gas in bowels or gas from surgery! I have tolerable pain in my abdomen with 5 lap sites. I've had no nausea, but I have Zofran ordered routinely so that has helped. I have walked the halls at least every 4 hours with no trouble. I hear that the pain is worse on days 2,3, & 4 post-op, but I am very optimistic! I wish everyone's recovery could go this well! I haven't passed gas yet, but I don't feel pressure or the need. I have a barium swallow scheduled with the surgeon this morning. Then I'll be allowed more Clear Liquids (not just ice). If I tolerate the liquids well, I'll be discharged this afternoon! No regrets here! Wishing luck to those going to surgery today!

Anyone having sleeping problems post op?

I should have cold here first. Yes. I am off pain meds and unable to sleep. Maybe 3 hours a night if I'm lucky. I'm also having the same issue with Protein and calorie intake. Less than 300 cals a day and around 50-60 pro. I feel terrible.

I'm here no and there's no going back :) my surgery was yesterday afternoon. Apparently it went very smooth, and ignoring the fact I feel like a mule kicked me in the gut I'm doing well.

15 days post opp. Exercising two days a week for an hour a day. Walking 1 1/4 mile three days a week. Have moved to soft food and only two shakes a day. I feel terrific. Weight is 257 down from 295 pre opp. Starting to wear clothes I haven't had on in years. Hope the next 15 days go as well as these have.

Hi everyone, I am Angie and I had my surgery 2/11. I was pretty miserable until like 6 days after it, getting rid of the gas was so hard. I have a question, everything I have makes me burp right away. I sip Water, Protein Shake, Soup and all is the same. Is this normal?? Also I lost 17lbs but nothing in the last 3 days and that freaks me out. I am so glad I found this app, thanks

Hi.

I has my 2/5 I lost 13 lbs and nothing in the last 3 days so you are not alone. Be encouraged the weight will come off in due time.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
