No issues or complications!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Dec 30. I had no pain no gas no discomfort at all!! Anesthesia was my only issue. Once that was out of my system, it was like I had no surgery!! I can drink as much Water as I want with no discomfort. I am taking 85 grams of Protein per day, Wondering if the docs really performed surgery on me.....

Anyone else have it this easy or am I lucky? I'm starting to get concerned about no restrictions...

Lucky, I thought the same but found out the hard way. It was almost too good to be true! Be cautious and follow plan!

I did not have complications from my surgery and was able to take large swallows without any problems. However, I would suggest you slow down a little. You are newly sleeved and your body needs time to heal. Follow your doctors plan. As for the restrictions...you will start to feel the sleeve when you start eating solid foods.

Hi. We should be buddies on our progress since my surgery was December 30. Like you, I have no problem at all and I can drink anything with no problem. I hope it will continue this way once we start soli food etc. Have you lost any lbs?

I too had surgery on Dec. 30- but I have had a few problems here and there. The first few days I had horrible gas pains and vomited about once a day. Then after day 3 I have been great. I do feel restriction sometimes after eating Jello. I can drink liquid with no issue. Today, i began full liquid. I was a bit nervous at first but had no issues. So far, I've lost 16lbs since the day of surgery. :)

      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.
