December sleevers



Recommended Posts

I love your user ID.... Imready2015!

I am five days post op and feeling great. I am going to work tomorrow! Thought I would have to take off two weeks.

My major issue is horrible taste in my mouth and bad breadth.... family complaints.

Yesterday I added Greek yogurt, it was a nice change from Protein drinks.

Best of luck to everyone and speedy recovery.

Oh man the bad breathe. I'm glad that isn't just me. I feel like I need to brush my teeth 12 times a day.

I'm so glad I found this post also. I'm scheduled for December 28th TOMORROW and I'm so nervous. Can't stop think maybe I can do this without the surgery or is it all really worth it. I feel really prepared but now I'm second guessing myself.

I was second guessing too but now that it is done (on 12/21) I still think it was the right decision. I have to remember that I have lost weight many times before and always gain it all back and then more. This will be my tool to not do that anymore! My recovery was relatively easy. Gas pain in the hospital but that disipated quickly. Barely used any of my pain medication. Hardest part is head hunger when the rest of the family is eating. We got this!

It's so nice to know that we are not going through this alone. I can't seem to turn my head off I'm so nervous but I know it's the right decision. I've struggled with my weight sense my teen years and always regain it all right back.

Looking for a buddy, my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec.29th. My first appt. with my surgeon was Dec. 1st, I made a quick decision to have the surgery during the holiday break (high school teacher.) Scared I will not be up and ready to teach on Jan. 4th?

I was sleeved on 12/22. Everything went great, almost no pain. Just some minor discomfort. Activity wise I'm almost back to normal. Just trying to get all my fluids in now.

      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.
