Any sleevers scheduled for late July?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Monday and I'm doing great. They all thought I was a rockstar at the hospital, I even got discharged a day early. Yesterday was my first full day home and I drank 3 shakes and got in 58 grams of Protein. I thought I'd be struggling more! Today I'll get 62 grams in. Yesterday I even drove my 3 kids to the dentist 20 minutes away. That was a bit much and I probably shouldn't have done it but I did. Today I had to bring my daughter to and from camp, but that a shorter drive in town. I'm pretty pleased with how well everything is going!

My hubby and I were sleeved on the 27th. We are doing great. The drains get removed tomorrow. I am down a total of 33 lbs and hubby is down 34. All the gas pains are worth it! FYI, the losses are total since pre op. We've lost about 10 post op.

I feel so much better today! I'm refusing to weigh myself until August 28th which is my 1 month sleeversary just because the numbers on the scale does something to me mentally whether I lose a lot or if I stall. I let those numbers affect me so much that I'd rather just gauge my success with my cloth size and activity levels. I wonder if theres anyone here like me when it comes to the scale?

1 week post-op and I feel awesome, I'm about 98% back to normal. Down 14 pounds since surgery and 39 since starting my journey. :)

You guys are doing awesome and that's great! Physically I think I'm doing fine. The incisions feel a lot better and it's getting easier to swallow without that burning feeling all the way down. But I don't feel like the eating is progressing at all. Because I was throwing up in the beginning I was told to hold off on the Protein Shakes for a few days, so it was cream of wheat and broth only. Started Protein yesterday, but most disappointing is I don't think I've lost ANYTHING. My husband keeps telling me to be patient, it's only been a week, but I can't help but worry that I'm going to have the same struggles as before. If yon haven't figured it out yet I'm very emotional and a bit of a worry wart :-)

      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.
