First week sleeved...quick question



Recommended Posts

I am one week today. I can only get two ounces of tomatoe Soup down and then have to come back half hour later for the rest. My stomach takes three hours for a Protein Drink to go down. That is 14 ounces GNC lean shake. So I guess it just depends on how your recovering. I agree all those nerves being cut does something to us. Good luck everybody!

I am now 17 days post-op. I could drink Water, etc with no problem in the beginning. I had no trouble with the shakes, and now the Soups. However, I will say the longer post-op I've become, the harder it is to eat or drink very much. I was really hungry last night and was only able to eat about 2/3 cup of Tomato Soup and 2 sugar-free popsicles. I had my first experience on Tuesday night (this week) of eating too much. I agree with all the comments about stopping eating when you FIRST feel full. It would not stay down. Lesson learned.

All normal. I didn't feel the full sensation until I was on soft foods.

Keep drinking!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
