May 2015 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on may 13th. Second day home. Struggling to get the Protein in but having no problems with the Fluid. I'm sure it will get easier as the days go on. Excited about my journey to come!

@@juju79 - I am doing pretty good, hoping to hit a personal goal of -100 by 12/31/15, which is about 7 lbs. I am pretty sure the honeymoon is over but that's okay ~ I got this!

how are you doing?

@@jane13 7lbs away from 100, that is great. I'm down 70lbs. My only issues are heartburn(I never had before) and I've thrown up a lot. I'm not sure if I'm not chewing slow enough or what but I go to see the doctor on the 9th.

@@juju79 - I haven't had either one of those issues, thank goodness.

I have ate one too many bites and wished I could throw up about a month post-op. That was a scary feeling. I wanted to just get a little up, but I knew that was stupid I was only about 3 wks post...

Did you have heartburn before? I did, but not bad. I haven't had it really at all since surgery.

I never had heartburn before the surgery. I have it so bad now that it wakes me in the middle of the night. I can't eat any seasoning or it fires it up. I can say that I'm on medication for it and it helps a lot

Hi!! I had my surgery May 25th with Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras. I'm down 112 pounds from 410 to 298 in just a little bit over 6 months. I'm feeling great and Dr. Alvarez and his staff treat you like royalty. He's AMAZING! :)

      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.
