Today is the day I get sleeved, FINALLY!



Recommended Posts

I don't have to be to the hospital for a few hours and of course I woke up early. I'm feeling a bunch of crazy emotions that I wasn't expecting. The anxiety and hungry are getting the best of me and I'm just ready to be post op! This 6 months flew by and I'm so thankful for the experience. I'm a little worried about pain management post op, but other than that we're good to go!

@@amandastearns - you will be fine. being nervous is pretty normal for most of us. pain management I was lucky with because I really didn't have any. I only felt uncomfortable trying to lay back, after sitting on the bed. The solution was to sit down and lay to my side, and then rollover to my back. I took RXs for the two nights and then went OTC after that.

you got this!

The only complaints are the leak test was horrible, nausea can get overwhelming at times, and they won't let me take gas X for the pain.

      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.
