I'm sleeved!



Recommended Posts

It's 1:45 am here in the uk. I had to get to hospital at 7am Friday 27th feb, they finally took me for the op at 3pm, and I came round about 6:45 pm - I thought that was a long time?

So it's 6 hours since I woke up, I feel ok, pain is manageable. I've vomited blood 3 times, I have a drain which is the sorest bit. I've just walked to have a big wee :-) so far I'm drinking Water with no issues. Just drifting in and out of sleep now.

I thought I'd do an update as it happens so newbies had an idea what to expect.

I'd lost 8lbs on my 9 day pre op diet, and my liver was nice he said.

I just wanna see my kids now :-(

is it normal to puke blood? My surgery is March 20th and I feel like i have no idea what's going to happen.

I don't think it was buckets of blood but you are getting your stomach cut and sewed. I imagine that is normal.

Thanks so much for the update! I love seeing posts of newly sleeved people! Good luck and prayers for your healing...and keep us updated. I'm getting sleeved in 80 hours :) lol...so it's nice to hear how you're doing right after surgery. So how bad was walking? I hope to walk as much as possible but fear for the tenderness.

Walking was ok ... It was just difficult with the drain and the drip. But I think they come out tomorrow.

It wasn't loads of blood I threw up, it was thick gooey blobs, but not like when you are normally sick. The docs didn't even comment so it must be normal....

I suffer with Migraines and I came round with a bad one... Prob from the morphine. So that may be why I was ill.

My tummy feels heavy, like I have someone sat on me.

But I'm not in agony ... Just uncomfortable. Although I'm probably still drugged up to the eyeballs! :-)

I'm 2 days post up. Got home yesterday. Today I feel so hungry. I've drank a 40oz Isopure throughout the day and ate a nonfat yogurt. Is this normal?

I think everyone is so different. As bad as I feel right now, I would love yogurt! I'm really hoping I can get Fluid and yogurt down soon. :-) what I find odd is they say to avoid straw... But my nurses have all brought my Water with straws! :-) and my painkillers (yuk) liquid painkillers I can not stand!!!

I've had my drain out today, that was pretty horrible. But at least it's done now, so much easier getting to the loo :-)

I could have gone home if I wanted, but have decided to stay in till the morning as I feel rough.

Your date will soon be here :-)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
