Feb 23 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Don't be scared, the infection is literally the only problem I've had so far, and it was only because the two that got infected were between my stomach and the roll above it so they rubbed (the stitches were possibly too tight also, as we had trouble getting them out). Everything else has been fine. No gas pain, no vomiting, thus far no acid refluc *knocking wood as I type all of this*

I had surgery 2/23. Feeling terrible right now. Bloating, nausea, abdominal pain. Can't wait for these days to pass. Feeling a bit regretful too!

I think it's pretty normal I had surgery the same day and I'm feeling the same way. I'm bloated and having a hard time eating or drinking the Jell-O and the Water

This just the beginning I'm sure will feel better soon I can't wait for these days the past two glad we're not doing it alone

The hunger may go away, for a little bit after surgery you still have the hunger hormone in your body. Also, some people don't feel the restriction until they hit mushy/solid foods.

Have you tried drinking a protien shake? It helps me not be hungry. Thats what I sip on all day.

Ok had my sleeve on the 23rd. Pain was out of control. I am home now and attempting to get rid of these gas pains. Hopefully I am able to rest. It's hard to get the shake and Water down but I continue to sip

I didn't have gas so I don't have first hand experience, but people say walking and gas-x strips.

      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.
