May 28-31st Sleeve Week!



Recommended Posts

Surgery week folks! Today our 27s go through surgery and we will keep this thread going for a week while we all get sleeved!

It's FINALLY arrived, I don't know about you, but I am excited, anxious, nervous and did I say excited? I am SOOO over trying to figure out the next diet to do that will rebound in a few months. At last I have a tool that will WORK forever!

Get your lip balm and Gas-x strips ready and I heard a heating pad can be awesome for stubborn gasses in your back and shoulders the first few days, can't hurt to take it with you! If you are in a big busy hospital and might have to share a room, bring ear plugs and an eye mask... you may not need it but better to have it if you do. Don't forget to get up walking as soon as possible, it helps the gas go away. Excited to see how everyone does!

Hey everybody! I was sleeved this morning and I feel pretty good. My pain is minimal, I am able to pass gas w/o pain, and I get to start sipping in 30 minutes! I am so excited... and slightly dopey lol.

Hey guys, I was sleeved this am. Im feeling alright, I've got 3 incisions (one with a drain) I'm dermabonded- no stitches or staples. I do feel a bit nauseous, but I was just wheeled up to my room and that may have contributed to that some.

Hi everyone.. I was sleeved on May 6th and I'm doing pretty good. I can't drink Protein Shakes cause it goes in and right out the other (sorry TMI) but it happens until your body adjust to everything. So I'm stuck eating chicken and fish already to get my Proteins and doing well...I do have an issue that I have asked my doctor about some nerve pain right at my belly button area. It is like a burning pinching pain when I laugh or move wrong. Just wondering if anyone else had this..

Doing good pain not to bad if you brace yourself. It actually feels better to walk. Ice chips for me. Very easy to swallow. On patient controlled pump for pain medication. No waiting! Yeah! Ice on left side where drain is helps. Burping with ice chips, so gas it coming up for me! Glad to see the 27's doing great and posting.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
