Two days post op. Still on 2 oz.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Tuesday June 24th. Thought I'd be discharged today but I've got to drink 3oz to be discharged. Never thought it would be this hard. Warmer (beverages) are better. Looking forward to my new journey and staying positive!!

My sleeve was June 24th. I hope u get home soon! I was surprised how easy it was to just sip liquids, I agree warm liquids are easier. I have pain only if I move around and take too big of a gulp of liquid. Still on pain med but hopefully I will be off of them by this weekend. Good luck to you and hope u get to feeling better soon.

I was sleeved Tuesday also. So weird only being able to eat a few bites of mellow and having to stop. Came home today and have already taken 2 naps. The pain management is better in the hospital but feels good to go home to my own bed. Take care

You'll be able to sip down 3 oz in no time :) At the beginning though, it totally feels impossible. Congrats and good luck!

- I was sleeved Monday (the 23rd)

Hard to get a lot of liquids in. Takes me all day to drink just one Protein Drink.

Question tho! Anyone taking stool softeners in tablet form or just liquid?

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 24th also. I'm having the hardest time trying to drink my water! Also, I'm worried that I'm eating too much. I just ate a Jello cup and about a 1/2 hour later ate a pudding cup. I feel like I shouldn't be eating that much! I also get so many air bubbles every time I swallow something that it kind of hurts. I'm wondering if that's my new stomach's way of telling me that I'm over doing it?

I haven't had pudding or jello yet.. I've only been able to get a little Water down and like one Protein Shake a day. I was sleeved Monday! But everyone's different, and the bubbles are just has and your body trying to get used to everything.

From the get go, I had no problems taking in liquids and had no issues with taking any of my pill meds. What I sometimes have an issue with is figuring out when I'm full. I'm 5 weeks post op today and have been on regulars foods for about 2 weeks. I only eat about as much as a yogurt cup....sometimes a little more and it's those sometimes that if I bend over at the right time, I immediately feel my food, the overage I guess, wanting to come up. I've been fortunate enough not to actually throw anything up yet, but I don't like that feeling at all.

      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.
