1 Day Post Op.....It's a breeze!



Recommended Posts

hello everyone. I am 1 day post op and feeling great. I must admit when I woke up from surgery I initially began to second guess my decision to be sleeved. However, by the end of the night I felt like it was the best decision I have ever made. I passed my swallow test this morning with no issues and the pain meds are helping tremendously. Looking forward to heading home tomorrow morning will keep you updated.

1 day post op and feeling great

Moni_0330

glad everything was/is terrific :)

you have a great journey ahead of you :)

a good thing to do periodically is..........

take before, during and after pictures

keep a record of things going on, how you are doing, problems et al

and take your measurements

this is good for all newbies and others to do :)

do as i say, not as i do :huh:

i never did the above - and i regret it :mellow:

may you feel as good tomorrow - as you do today :)

stay well

take care

good luck :)

I just got sleeved Tuesday. I felt good too being at the hospital but let me tell u after the the iv came out and I came home it's been so hard. Haven't been able to keep a lot down wish I would have stayed an extra day. But even with that being said I still don't regret it! Hope u have a speedy recovery!

We had surgery the same day!! How are you feeling today? I probably got in one Protein shake and an additional 25oz. Not easy. Have to stand up to sip and stay that way for awhile. I hope you try and take your pain meds too, and move! I must admit picking my son up from preschool with my mom kicked my butt since we went to 711 after for his slurpee. The in and out of the car part wore me out. Let me know how your doing! What was your starting stats? Mine is 244# and I'm 5'5

I am 9 days post op today, and definitely feel this was the best decision of my life. My second day I was thinking what the heck did I do to myself. It gets better and easier with every day. Keep moving and keep sipping slowly. I have to make sure that I am sitting up straight to get everything in. Sipping slowly is my downfall. Every day is a learning experience. So glad I can jump on this app and make some new friends who are going through the same things I am. I am 5'1" starting weight at my first nutrition class 219, pre op day of surgery 209, 9 days post op 196

My starting weight was 254 I'm 5'4. I been taking my meds it does help! As of yesterday I stopped throwing up which I'm happy about. I been trying to drink my Protein yesterday I was only able to get 2 30ml of it and was easier to get Water in. The thought if food and anything going in my mouth grosses me out I'm really gonna push today and get out walk around Walmart or something need to get some more leggings.

      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.
