Sleeved on the 27Th



Recommended Posts

I would like to connect with others sleeved on the 27th or the day before or day after. I think it would be helpful to be encouraged etc by others that are in the same stage.

I too was "sleeved" on the 27th....my surgeon doesnt believe in sending patients home with pain meds therefore I was in the hospital 3 nights and 4 days with one blood clot scare ..doppler showed no clots....i have no idea what it was but my leg was swollen and my calf was stiff (walking up and down stairs and fluids took it down in a few days).......i was really dehydrated until my surgeon talked to me and clarified how much i needed to be drinking and that i needed to add gatorade...gatorade is my LIFE BLOOD ever since i've had it i feel a zillion times better...the gas pain is the worst but i walk it off and take gas-x...how is your experience going @@getnfit52?

It has been a challenge to get down my 64 oz of deluded juice or gatoraide. My top was 48 oz. The sweetness makes me nausea. So I am looking forward to drinking Water on Fri with pureed diet. I would say the gas was the major issue for me also. It went up into my shoulders and neck, painful. Yesterday I was thinking that it is a little better.

      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.
