June Sleevers!

[greenbaymichk 30]

The pain was different than I expected.

And make sure you walk, even if no one is prompting you to do so.

It will get better.

No one will unhook me!!! I tried, set off all the alarms and they finally got to me! Walked for 20 minutes.

Hooked myself except for my via my morphine pump

I unhooked myself off of everything. Lol. I was the 29th and I feel great today. I'm passing Gas and bm and that made a world of a diffrence. I still can't drink alot of Water it gives me hicups. I'm going to Vitamin Shoppe later to try some Isopure to at least get some Protein in.

Check out Unjury unflavored and add it to anything else allowable.

I'm having a real problem with the antacid that we need to take. It makes me puke, no matter what I try to take it with. Having to crush it, is horrible!

My info, I was sleeved on June 25th and on that day I weighed 215 and today I am 205. So 10 lbs 6 days post op. I am pleased with that. But my attitude is awful. I'm disliking everyone. And I am HUNGRY!! I made the mistake of running out of my favorite unjury so it is being delivered today. I'm hoping that helps with the hungry/angry part of my problems. LOL Other than that the incisions are doing great, no issues there. I'm getting in a good amount of fluids, and taking minimal pain medication. I am exhausted though, I'm hoping again that the Protein will help with that part too.

Vanesa -worry about the fluids right now at least for another week. Protein will come. What I did with the crushed pills-I used sugar free chocolate pudding (1/2) put in my powder and a little milk. Put crushed pills in there-used a baby spoon and just got them down first. Then took another spoonful of pudding to counteract the flavor. My doctor had me take those but the gallbladder stuff I could wait 2 weeks due to the bitterness. I'm 3 weeks out and can now take pills one at a time so hang in there. Another Protein source is if you have a Walmart I found protein/fiber drink mix with 5 grams of protein so I fill up my 16.9 oz Water, shake, add ice and sip all day. That helps a little with energy (but energy comes and goes for awhile I'm told) I also stocked up on Listerine strips so I feel fresher breath! The more I drink the better I feel

Went for my two week check today. I have lost 10 lbs since surgery. My wounds are healing nicely so I can take a bath. Yea! I have moved on to stage 3 and can have puréed food. I am a vegetarian so my Protein choices are limited. Any suggestions?

Greek yogurt pureed with sugar free jam or sugar free vanilla ice cream pureed with your favorite flavored Protein Powder, then I refreeze it for an hour. I use Matrix PB - tastes like yummy Peanut Butter ice cream. Refried Beans with grated cheese (melted). I have had Rosa's (if you have one near you, but don't know if they are vegetarian, I've read Taco's Bell's is.) I also have a recipe for refried Beans I am going to try. I also have hummus on my list with unflavored Protein Powder. Haven't tried that yet.

Sleeved on monday the 29th and I feel like nothing was done. I have no pain. My 5 wounds are healing nice and I don't get hungry like before. I notice if i wait too long to eat or drink I get the shakes and sweats till I get somthing in me. Word of advice try to have a BM asap. It will make you feel like a million bucks.

I feel like I can eat too much and I'm 10 days post op. I can drink a whole Protein Shake fine , like normal. It's weird I do t feel such restriction as everyone else.

Still waiting!

[handymannynyc1 82]

Dang. Did you talk to your doc about it? @@Mp1409 I'm on the same boat. I guess it was the empty stomach due to the two week liquid diet and a skilled surgeon

[Mp1409 17]

No, but I can eat a whole Greek yogurt 6 oz all at once. Does anybody like this . I follow the diet, but never have pain. I feel full but it seems I get more fluids and foods in. I'm not trying to, I just noticed a difference in other peoples post.

[handymannynyc1 82]

Same here. I go see my Doc on Tuesday I'm going to ask.
