Any November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

10 days out, lost 15 lbs, feeling great! Starting weight 299 day of surgery November 11, now 284. Lots of energy, more then before my surgery, back at work, had very minimal pain after surgery, mostly gas in my chest which was uncomfortable. Incisions pretty much healed & I feel so normal considering I only have 15% of my stomach left. I have no problems drinking Water & getting fluids in. Protein going down fine & I'm so happy already that I chose to have this surgery! My surgeon Dr Ramos Kelly was amazing, I went to Tijuana & had such great medical care, so thorough, clean & both my mom and I were impressed! Loved my nurses and hospital staff, met some other wonderful patients having sleeves done as well. Can't wait to keep watching this weight fall off!!!! Every day gets easier & better!

I was sleeved on Monday 11/17. I came home Tuesday. I feel good except for the pain in my right side & the gas. That being said, the gas is getting better everyday. I moved to full liquids today. It felt soooo good to finally eat something that wasnt sweet!

My stomach keeps grumbling like I am hungry. This worries me a little because I though they took out the part of your stomach that signals hunger.

I'm only a few days post-op, but I've found it rather helpful to keep reminding myself that a growly, rumbly tummy at this point doesn't necessarily mean I'm hungry. Everything smells amazing though, so it's tough. :)

Yea the rumbling will go away. Thats gas from surgery and acid trying to settle down. Gasx and tums helped me send mine away about 4days post op and havent had it since.

      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.
