nicolesix 15 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I'm on day two since the surgery. The first day was brutal. I was in a Massive amount of pain and discomfort. My chest hurt the most so I ended up needing a X-ray. All came back normal. Evidently the gas and the tube they put in you to help drain the stomach was hurting my chest . Now I am feeling better just super tired and out of it. How are any of my 2-23 warriors doings? Edited February 25, 2015 by nicolesix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCLatina 16 Posted February 26, 2015 Hi! I had my surgery on 1/20, so a little over 5 weeks now. At 4 weeks I had lost 23 lbs, how about you? No pain now except for when introducing whole wheat products. I can sleep on my stomach now which is a huge relief. No vomiting or hair loss yet, which is nice! Are there any foods you haven't been able to tolerate? Nuts are the only thing that have given me diarrhea ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suesleeved 53 Posted February 27, 2015 I also had my surgery 1/20, I've just started to eat soft food. Today I tolerated the most food. I've had egg salad get stuck one day and tolerate it another day. Sleeve's are weird lol my sleeve liked scrambled eggs with cheese though. Today I had a grilled chicken tender and a few pieces of very steamed broccoli. So far so good. Also ate a whole Premier Protein bar which was awesome. I've been drinking 3_4 shakes a day to get my Protein. Also, I rarely get my 64 oz of Water. I get about 40 oz ish. I'll keep trying. Oh and since surgery I've lost 21lbs but 50lbs since pre opt and hw and I'm 8.9 away from onederland... Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know what I'm doing. Oh have you tried Jerky? I'd love too but am concerned my sleeve may need another month or so ....please let me know if you can tolerate it. ???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deanma 16 Posted February 27, 2015 hello... i was sleeved on monday 2/23. i have pain with every sip.... i am either drinking too fast... too much... temp not right... or stomach spasms.... idk...I got 35 ounces of Fluid in yest. that was better. i have a huge hematoma on my abdomen that happened when i was in the recovery room. It started to grow yesterday so my surgeon had to stop the lovenox injections. usually take them for seven days.. walking around in the house quite a bit. still have lot of gas... i dream of the day when i can drink more than a sip without pain in my gut! it will get better every day.. right? on full liquids.

KCLatina 16 Posted March 3, 2015 I couldn't even imagine trying Jerky yet, it seems to rough to swallow since grilled chicken can be hard to swallow... Yes, it gets better on liquids and foods every week. Day by day is harder to judge by but if I focus on weekly then I really notice the changes. I'll be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I'll I'm craving is a salad and sushi!!! Have you guys tried raw veggies yet? I've been eating while grain items with no problems so far...
