Sleeved on 9th November



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 13th. I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon Monday. It has been a very rough five days but today I am already feeling so much better! I am having a lot of trouble getting the Protein Shakes down and keeping them down. I don't do well with chalky type drinks. My gag reflex is awful with this type of texture. I switched over to ibuprofen yesterday and got off of the pain pills. I really think this is a big part of me feeling better. Pain pills upset my stomach even without major surgery on it. My doctor allows a list of about 8 foods this early - I tried cottage cheese and very wet shredded chicken yesterday and it went down well and didn't hurt. I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and about 4 bites of shredded chicken. I know it has only been six days but I haven't lost any weight yet. Anyone know possible reasons why? Just trying to connect with others who have recently been sleeved. If I can answer any questions about my experience let me know.

I was sleeved the 9th. I'm feeling pretty good so happy I'm getting to eat a little. I'm down 16 lbs so far. I'm not really doing the puréed food. So if I have chicken I cut it very tiny and chew it real good. Everything seems to be going down.

Sleeved 11/9. Feeling so much better. I felt like I turned a corner this Tuesday. Pretty jealous of eating chicken. I get to puree food next week and then REAL food the next. Excited to be on this journey and glad there are others with me!

Yes my doctor does clear for 1 week, full liquids for 1 week, puréed food for 1 week, then solids. I am feeling better every day!!

I'm on full liquids for 17 days then 10 days puréed. I was told to start my Vitamins after 1 month maybe that's why I feel so tired and weak.

      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.
