August post op sleevers: Check in



Recommended Posts

Sleeved August 22 and doing really well! 17lbs since surgery.Had a little pain and nausea post op but as soon as I was hooked up to the pain pump that all went away ;) Unfortunately, I got a TERRIBLE headache that lasted all 2 days in the hospital! Liquids for 2 weeks and now I'm on soft. I will honestly say the head hunger has been the hardest thing so far, which actually surprised me. Now at almost 3 weeks out, it has gotten MUCH better. Trying different pureed food, but honestly I have pretty good restriction, so I can really only eat 3 Oz at a time. Doing pretty good getting my fluids in though. Walking, eating as much Protein as I can and excited to see the weight coming off! I feel great!

Can't concentrate on how much weight in losing because first I had a problem having a BM now I have urinary retention.. They say it's common but damn... any oddities that can happen I seem to be the victim of... Sorry not tryna be a Debbie downer it's just frustrating...

Had my 3 week check up yesterday. I've lost 22 pounds since my pre op appointment and I'm very close to onederland!

I'm cleared to eat a bigger variety with nothing crunchy, nothing spicy, and nothing that has to be cut with a knife. Went to costco yesterday and found some frozen tilapia in pesto sauce, very yummy!

I'm supposed to continue with one Protein Drink per day but I just can't get them down anymore so I'm trying to get all of my Protein without them. Got some Protein Bars, maybe that will help.

I got sleeved 8/8/14 ... I'm grateful to have lost 25 lbs. I have 25 more to go. I'm still not able to eat constantly especially the Protein intake that's recommended. I had the worst heartburn last night! I didn't sleep and I'm still lacking energy to function.

I was sleeved on 8/15 and just like you the scale is stuck I'm hopeful like everyone keep saying that it will move I'm working out as well and finally consuming what I believe is enough calories 1,000-1,100 per day and still no movement but the scale has no other choice but to move in the right direction ..... Frustrated

I know this is personal but are you regular when it come to BM because I was stuck but then I started taking extra Fiber to make me go regular and what do you know the scale started moving. Good luck I was sleeved August 18th I'm 25 down

      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.
