Day 3 since my sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 7/15 weighed at 278 before my surgery. My surgery went well but then my heart rate was extremely fast and my bp was high. I had to the take an emergency cat scan to determine if I had a leakage. Thank god my results was negative because I was nervous. My pain is OK the only thing I'm having trouble with is gas pain and loose stool. Has anyone experience this before? My bp is still high but I'm managing that with my meds. I got weighed and I gained 4 pounds yesterday but I lost a pound as of today 7/17. Hopefully I can go home today and take care of myself. Im nervous but anxious of getting better and starting my life over.

Do not worry about the weight. When I came home from the hospital I weighed and I had gained 10 pounds. It is from the Fluid they give you while in the hospital. Yes I did have loose stool also. Just keep a watch on that so you do not get dehydrated. You will be fine hang in there. Best of luck to you.

You may gain from the anaesthetic. No worries about that. Just walk a lot to get rid of the gas and sip sip sip!

      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.
