March 2nd sleevers



Recommended Posts

@@stackinstones11 I hope you are feeling better! Sounds like you've had a little bit of a rough start but you're weight loss is great! Congrats!

@@newmeme Happy sergiversary! 16 pounds is awesome! My post-op was today and it went well. It was a pretty quick appointment with the PA, just checked my incisions and talked about how I'm feeling. We went over what I can start incorporating into my diet and that was about it. My first 'meal' was some fat free refried black Beans with some blended up ground beef cooked with Tomato, onion, garlic with a bit of guacamole and cheese on top. That sounds like a lot but I made a pan and baked it all together then weighed myself 4 ounces. Looking at it was funny, I didn't think that would fill me up! At least that wouldn't fill me up before. I couldn't even eat it all but it was so yummy. I also had a couple ounces of cottage cheese today.

@@JamieLogical Thank you for the encouragement! I've heard of this dreaded stall and I'm not looking forward to it. I don't think I'm going to weigh myself because I know that will get me discouraged.

Hi. I too was sleeved on March 2nd. Also had my gallbladder removed at the same time. So far so good, minus this dizziness. Is anyone else suffering from this at this point?

@@Raincries Wow! You are indeed a trooper getting two surgeries in one.

I haven't experienced the dizzies, only nausea. Have you had your two weeks follow up yet? I had mine today and found out I may have to get periodically hydrated via IV. They also gave me powdered Vitamins to put in my Water that tastes like CrystalLight and helps with nausea. Maybe your docs can run tests and get to the bottom of it. Our bodies are adjusting big time, so anything can happen. Best of luck to you, keep in touch!

No nausea for me. My GP is very impressed. No pain either. Only pain I have endured is from my gallbladder incision. I see my moral GP every week until I see my surgeon for my follow up and then my Bariatric Doctor. I'm already taking my medications by mouth, and have been on chewable Multivitamins as well as liquid ones since the day I arrived home. I have been very lucky. And for that I'm thankful. My doc did say the dizies could be because my sugars could be fluctuating. Thankful I'm not diabetic. I guess we will see how things work out. Feel better. Nausea can sure take all the energy you have out of you, and as u know we don't have much at present. Be well!

      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.
