Sleeved yesterday and everything went well



Recommended Posts

I guess the unfortunate half of piece of pizza that I broke down and ate my 3rd d ay before surgery did not hurt because when they weighed me befor emy operation I had already lost 20 pounds and he said my liver was very small. I woke up feeling extremely bad. I literally felt like I was about to have a heart attack but after walking around and sipping on Water and burping the gas has now subsided. I can feel my sore belly move around every time I move but even that is going away, I feel like my future is so much bright her and if I lost 20 pound before my surgery there is no way i cannot reach my goals after.

Hmmm... I thinking maybe just yours BUT now I want to ask my doc to do the same lol. I work in the medical field and don't get grossed out by that kind of stuff. It would be cool to see how much is removed.

More importantly!! I'm glad to hear everything is going well and I wish you a speedy recovery. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
