Had my sleeve done yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Just sending out an update letting everyone know that things are well. The worst incision pain is the one where they pulled the stomach through. I got up and walked within 30 minutes after I left PACU. Slowly, but I walked! Honestly, the pain isn't too bad, but the IV pain meds handle it if it starts to hurt. So far, so good!

It'll be here before you know it!! But I know it seems to take forever as you look at that calendar counting down the days! Best of luck to you and feel free to ask if you think of something that you haven't found here yet.

Ladybug, you might not want to be where I am this exact minute, LOL. I currently have a pounding headache, am itching to death from all of the meds I've been on, and my incisions are burning like crazy! But honestly, these are all just minor annoyances and nothing that I can't deal with. This surgery really has been a breeze so far. Now I'm just starting to wonder what size sleeve he gave me, because it seems like things may go down a little too easy for having just been sleeved two days ago. Try not to worry. The nerves really got to me the two days prior to my surgery thinking all of the "what ifs". I just turned it over to God and knew that he would see me through this. Take care, and stay in touch once it's your turn.

      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.
