I was sleeved May 6th!

I was up and walking within minutes of getting into my room

Pain was almost non existent

No gas issues

My steri strips are gone

My incisions are all healed

No belly pain or soreness

I'm eating and drinking tiny bits at a time but things are staying down

I'm doing great good luck to all on your upcoming surgeries!!

I just wanted to give you a little inspiration!

Today was my first day driving after getting sleeved on the 27th. I walked around the store for about 45 minutes. Felt a little tired when I got back but no pain or nausea. Still hearing those rumbling sounds in my stomach. Taking gas x strips. Protein Shakes still hard to drink they're heavy in my stomach. At least I'm off for another week.

I can't imagine anything but Clear Liquids right now. Everything else would just feel too heavy im sure. Getting used to small sips but getting to keep the quantity up by taking them often. I'm a 30th sleever and won't start on full liquids (including milk based Protein drinks) until next Monday. I might be sick of just cleats by then, but for now I'm thankful to just let my new tummy heal.

I got gummies!! My docs are totally fine with it, even through my clear liquid phase. I got 1 a day gummies from costco, plus C and Biotin ones at bartells. Honestly they are like a treat!

I take tiny little bites of gummy vitamins and I chew them to mush. I found popsicles were not a good thing today. From the first bite my stomach started to gurgle in protest so we will not be trying any more frozen treats for awhile!

Cold doesn't taste as good as warm. I'm 3 days out and Popsicles are a bit better than they were the first day. Jello was another thing that was yucky. I'm so excited for pudding and Greek yogurt tomorrow. I hope they don't disappoint.

Sleeved on 5/28, an I still haven't had a BM. I tried to go yesterday, but couldn't due to Constipation. Yes I no TMI, but I just wanna go to the restroom! Lol.. I also have been getting pains through stomach that move up to chest, that I believe are gas pains. Please tell me someone else has been having same problems. On another note, I have been getting my Multivitamin in, an it does have Iron in it. I will start tonight on my Calcium an d3 chewable. I also have been doing Protein Shake to get in my 60 gm in but I can only get in 1 shake so only 30 gm of Protein in:(

I feel like im doing something wrong, plz help

No BM for me either. I was sleeved on the 29th. I haven't had any desire to try. It's like its empty up there. Still on clear liquid until tomorrow. Every program is different so it's hard to advise what's right and wrong. Gas X really helps my pains.

My dr said mix Metamucil into your liquids for BM. If desperate you can use Miralax those both suggested by my dr. I had BM day 3. Thinking it was due to all the walking I've done. I one to walk off the soreness. Did with C sections too. I had the chest pain and the burp after swallowing. Thinking it maybe your new stomach having spams. It happens less with warmer fluids then cold. Getting better with each day. I think I have discovered what it feels like when full and only taking in 3-4 tablespoons but that is what dietician told me to expect due to swollen new stomach. Getting protein in thru skim milk 4oz and protein with 30grams. I am managing that twice daily. Felt lots better today and I am day 5.

I was sleeved on the 27th. I finally had a miniature BM today. Make sure to get in enough Water and it will happen with time.

Don't stress so much about BM. Over the next month you will take in so little food, 2-3 days will be a normal BM time - in fact since we will forever take in about 1/3 to 1/4 the food we took in before, expect your BM to be that spread out also.

Anyone else fascinated with your barium xray?? I wonder if our sleeves look totally different or similar. Anyone up for show and tell?? (maybe I'm a little bored in the hospital room :P Leave tomorrow a.m.

I didn't get one. I wonder if I can ask for photos at my postop visit. I do know he had a photo of him operating the robot during my surgery with it being the first robot assisted at the hospital!

      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.
