Any April Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Mine was April 1st. I am soooo ready to move to purees, but kinda scared to. Posted and hoping to receive suggestions from longer-term VSGers on what is good pureed. I had an absolutely horrible 24 hours after surgery. Almost uncontrollable vomiting and retching, so I am a bit spooked. :0 Everyone else doing well?

I had the same 24 hours after surgery. I'm only 3 days out and I haven't even been able to hold down 1 Protein Shake. I keep telling myself I can do it and it will be worth it. Even if I don't believe it right now.

Post op Day 6 and it's my BIRTHDAY!! Steadily getting in my liquids. Mild nausea and gas pains but no show stoppers. I'm band to sleeve and can say I feel so much better this time around than when my band was installed in 2011. Taking it one day at a time and staying hopeful!!

I think we should do a group text for those of us going tomorrow so we can all chat together. Cannot believe it is tomorrow! I feel like I have a billion things to do today. So anxious, nervous, and excited.

Hello New Jen, How are you doing now? I was sleeved on the 9th... I'm doing ok! Just adjusting to my new life eating schedule! I'm getting my Proteins & liquids in just fine! I'm not hungry or full. I'm still sore. I am actually looking forward to when I will feel well enough to exercise... Walking of something!

Are you feeling ok, are you reaching your Protein & liquid goals?

      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.
