Any May sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Thank you all! I'm having quite a bit of pain in one of my stab sites. Makes it difficult to bend or get comfy in bed. Nausea had been the worst and they have given me several drugs to combat that<br> Never be afraid to ask. He found a hernia once he got in which didn't show up on the upper gi. I'm feeling much better today and I hope to feel even better tomorrow.

Hey ladybug, I feel exactly the same way! My incision sites are sore and sleeping is the worst! I'm on day 5 and getting my obnoxious drain removed today. Hope you feel better, let's keep in touch!

Today is my first day home, my sleeve was done 2 days ago. I had a lot of nausea in the hospital, but feeling ok now. I'm having a lot of pain on my right side when I lay down or try to get up. It's been hard getting in all of my liquids.

I also has my surgery this week - Wednesday to be exact. I'm having terrible pain on my right side. Not even where my incisions are, but where I imagine my sleeve is. Today I was able to get down one ensure drink and 3 sugar free Popsicles. It's hard to go to the bathroom and wipe and its hard to sit down, get up and lay down. I feel like it's going to be forever until I feel better!!!

It will get better. I was sleeved on May 1st. I slept in the living room chair for over a week! I still have to sleep propped up and can only lay in my left side. The liquids, the Protein, and the Vitamins your surgeon requires are so important. I always feel better when I'm meeting the goals. As soon as I don't I start to feel bad. It does get better, hang in there. Think of the goal, not the crappy moment you're in. Good luck!!

You guys all sound like me! Last night I FINALLY slept somewhat after having my drain removed, which was driving me nuts. But I still have pain in all my incision sites (especially my belly button!), I have a hard time sleeping, sometimes the liquids go down great and other times every single sip is painful. They say once you hit 8 days, it gets better. Here's hoping! Anyone else getting a little sick of protein/nutritional supplement/juice? Or is it just me? ????

My first reaction was what the heck did I do??? But today I walked in my yard, did 5 minutes of work drank Isopure grape ( not bad) and no pain meds. Gas x definitely helped.

      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.
