June 30th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I also have pain in my head that goes from the neck up but I'm thinking that might be from the way my head was positioned during surgery. I feel like w complete mess. Haha. But I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

That could definitely be how your head was placed during surgery but also could be caused by dehydration or just not enough rest. The light isn't very far away. You've got this! Just sip & rest and call your doc if anything gets worse or doesn't change after a couple of days.

Just had surgery on the 30th... everytime I seem to lay down I get headaches... I am also a side sleeper and since my surgery I have slept on my back in bed propped up a little bit but it has my lower back killing me. I wished I had a recliner like I did for my csections. Also is it normal to have all this rumbling in the stomach while drinking, taking medicine, and just anytime. My stomach has been doing that constantly. I have also been so gassy and letting the farts go and occasional burps but it stills continues. Any help would be appreciated

I just had mine on the 30th too and experiencing the exact same things you are. Are your headaches better if you sleep in an upright position? I'm going to try that tonight. Yes I also have all the rumbling and sharp little pangs when I am sipping anything.

I don't have a headache at all when standing up... but once I lay down its terrible my head feels like it's gonna burst in a million pieces... finally able to do #2 today and my gas is a little better. I still have all the rumbling in my stomach and it feels so weird. I got one Premier Protein shake down and drinking grape juice. I'm gonna work on my next Protein Shake here in a little bit. I have 4 kids and I have had alot of help. I can't wait to be 100% to do all my motherly, wifely duties.

Ok. So I'm not sure what just happened but it's like a switch was flipped to "on" in my intestines. "Everything" is back up and running properly and suddenly I can sip without burping and even get in two ounces within 20 minutes without having to stop for the acid to go down. I am one happy sleever right now!

Even managed to catch up on office work from home, edit some photos from the wedding I photographed for a client last week and do some laundry. Now I'm really tired, full and functioning well. Gonna take a well deserved nap.

Hope all of you are having a good day.

Can we do miso Soup? Liquid only of course.

I am pretty sure it's safe as long as it's not too thick. Water it down a bit if it's more cloudy than clear. Miso is basically a mushroom broth so I'm pretty sure it's safe to eat in the clear liquid stage. I thought of getting myself some for this evening.

Two 8 ounce Protein Shakes, 8 ounce chicken Protein, a SF Popsicle, 8 ounces H2O by 3 pm! A lot of gas bubbles, but they passed quickly. That's 77 grams of protein but only 450 calories.

I did one shake today. I really can't do another. I added some Greek yogurt to some butternut squash Soup but I am still short on Protein today.

I actually find the list of what I need to take in a bit overwhelming so I am just gettong as close as I can. I do feel a lot better now than I did this morning and am grateful for that. I think taking my Vitamins helped a lot.

I did one shake today. I really can't do another. I added some Greek yogurt to some butternut squash Soup but I am still short on Protein today.

I only got in 2 oz of strawberry low fat yogurt, 2 oz of G2, 2oz of broth with a quarter scoop of protein and 6oz of Water. Not even close to the recommended daily protein or Fluid intake. Don't know how I'm gonna do this. I don't wanna eat or drink at all. Never thought I'd hate the idea of food and drink so much. I don't even know how to tell if I'm full cuz I constantly feel full and I'm force feeding myself. Thought I was doing good this morning until I realized how little I consumed. Hope tomorrow is 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.
