Hi Hi Hi!!!!

I was sleeved on Wed 2-26. My hospital stay was one night and super easy. I have had no problems with liquids or keeping them down. I am not hungry. I am on Clear Liquids for now then advance to full liquid, smushies ect...

I'm not stepping on the scale till my one week dr follow up this thurs. My body has been through trauma and lots of IVs and drugs have been pumped through me. I don't want to discourage myself.

I'm having a little bit of pain and bloating in my tummy area but it is being managed by my pain meds. I return to work to tomorrow.

Just wanted to check in and wish new sleevies good wishes on your journey!!!!!

Sip, walk and peace ????

Hi

congratulations on your op & recovery, well done!

I am 8 days post op, was sleeved on 24th & I too am feeling good.

I have been on a roller coaster this week mostly due to bad pain management so if I could offer firer ops any advice from my experience I would say make sure your pain relief is paramount!

Here's to recovery & weight loss & all the wonderful things we dream for ourselves and our families.

Hi, I also had my surgery on 2/26 and am feeling great. I had no problems with pain, gas or nausea. I started passing gas on the second day. I did weigh but had been told by friend that recommended the surgery that you do gain weight after. When I went back in to have dressing change they weighed me and I was up 6 pounds. Sunday I was up two pounds from day of surgery weight, yesterday the same and today I am down two so am now 221 this morning. I found Premier Protein at costco which has 30 GM Protein, 1 Gm fat and 1Gm sugar and is really good chocolate shake.

Hi all, my surgery was also on the 26th and I am feeling great. I had no trouble with gas,nausea or pain. I started passing gas on the second day and have now had my first bowel movement which was normal. I did weigh as when we went in to have dressing changed she weighed me and I was up 6 pounds which did not surprise me as the friend who recommended me was up 9 pounds. This morning I am down two pounds from day of surgery and 16 pounds since starting pre op diet. I found Premier Protein at costco which is a chocolate shake that has 30 Gm Protein, 3 Gm fat, and 1 Gm sugar. It is very good.

So glad you are doing well. The biggest reason I would not consider this surgery was that I was concerned about the amount of time I would be unable to work (I am self employed).

Keep up the hard work! Hope all goes well with reaching all of your goals!

Glad everything went smoothly...I love hearing from people who are only a few days post op to kind of get a feel for how they are feeling and what to expect. Wishing you much success on your journey..and a quick recovery! :)

      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.
