June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

I'm on my third day post op. I cannot keep anything down. As soon as I take a sip I gag and then spit. Doctor isn't letting me go home until I can get fluids down. Ughh. I just want to go home!

I have 3 days left before surgery! I've been cleaning, yard work, and packing for Mexico. I started Clear Liquids today. I'm getting so nervous! I hope I've packed everything I will need! I'm dreading the post-op negatives but looking forward to losing weight so my poor back and knees will not be under so much stress.

So why Mexico? I see that a lot and am just curious.

It's getting real up in here! I started my full liquid preop diet today. I had my lab work done today and my EKG. Then I had my last education class. Two weeks from today (25th) I will get my sleeve. I am so excited! I am anxious to stay in touch with all of you wonderful fellow sleevers and keep tabs on how we are all doing! Good luck to all of you having the surgery before then. The dates are starting to fly by!

Day 2 postop. I came home yesterday. I have walked every few hours. Still have gas pain in my left side and left shoulder. Taking hydrocodone liquid for pain relief. The biggest incision hurts esp when I get up and down. I also had a hernia repair( surprise!) the pain is less than I imagined. I have slept a lot today. Trying to get liquids in. Sip, walk, rest that's my current mantra. I decided to sleep in recliner with lots of pillows. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, one day at a time! I hope everyone continues to improve with each day

      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.
