I was Sleeved 1/28/15!



Recommended Posts

For those who were sleeved before me did you have the pain I'm having from retaining Fluid like I'm having when attempting to stand? I was told this could last 4-6 weeks. :( I hope not. I return to work in 2 weeks.

Congrats on your surgery.

I did not experience what you're referring to. Be sure you talk it over with your doc if you can.

I'm having pain on my left side in the my stomach. Can't sleep in my bed yet or on my side. Don't know if it's my muscles. If I push on my abdomen over there it hurts. I was sleeved the same day you were. Do you have that problem?

I was just able to ly on my right side, but not for very long. :( I have slept on my back, but since surgery I have to. I have pain mostly on my right side. They said that's where the Fluid is. Idk :( I'm a little frustrated.

It took forever before I could sleep in my left side! I was able to sleep in my right with a long body pillow and on my left with a small square pillow.

I still sleep with both now and also a husband pillow that props me up a little. It helped in the beginning to take some of the pain meds right before bed to take care of the discomfort.

      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.
