Recommended Posts

I got done on the 24th. Feeling pretty good. Some stomach spasms and cramps but nothing too bad. My first few days were miserable throwing up all the time dry heaving.

I also got a sleeve on Mon. the 28th. They did a revision on me from the band to the sleeve. I think I'm doing ok, I am also having trouble getting enough liquids in. I feel full so easily. Also, do you know if it is normal to feel chilled all the time unless I have a ton of blankets on. My incisions are not infected, they seem fine, I know that is a symptom of infection. I'm sore also, but nothing I can't tolerate. I can't bend over and pick up anything from the floor and I hate sleeping on my back, but it is too uncomfortable to even try. Each day I'm sure will get better...I hope!

I was sleeved on the 28th. Over all not to bad, lots of stomach swelling. Working on getting my fluids and Proteins in. I tried to get on the treadmill and do a long slow walk, but just felt like it was too much pulling on my stomach. Just stinking to walking around the house, I will try again tomorrow.

I was also sleeved on the 28th. Liquids getting easier to get down but still struggling with the Protein. Pain is manageable.

I'm struggling big time with getting in liquids. I'm sleeping a lot so when I wake I start sipping but fill up fast and bad spasms too. I do hope on my elliptical for about 2 min each time I get up. Overall pain med keep me resting well. Looking forward to feeling normal again.

I did mine on the 28th. Discharged at noon the following day. Doing very well and able to get 1-2 hours of walking I'm daily. Having discomfort during intake but I think its because I haven't figured out how to get the prilosec down without gagging. Had a ton of stomach swelling upon discharge, something like 10 lbs of retention. It's come off and I'm well enough to return to work on Monday.

28th also here. Better today. I can swallow now. Yesterday it was painful. I got my liquids today and most of my Protein. Just a bad headache from zero caffeine! Walking laps in the house. Stomach etc doesn't hurt until I walk awhile.

Wow Wafflewaitress, great job. I don't know what kind of work you do, but good luck on Monday. I think I will be fine to go back to work next Sat, but sure am glad I don't have to go in on Monday. Each day I'm feeling better and better. Lets keep in touch see how each are doing.

My sleeve was also done on the 28th. My tummy is painful but manageable. I'm a side sleeper and it's almost impossible to sleep any other way than my back. The pain gets a little better each day, I think I'll feel much better when my Dr removes the drain on Thursday. Im sipping all the time but I don't feel like I'm getting enough in. I'm confused if it's spasms or fullness that I feel. I have learned that cold liquids don't feel so great going down.

29th was my day....First few days I had really bad pain on the left side (main incision) and gas. Feeling alot better today with gas strips and especially after passing gas yesterday (tmi)...pain is manageable I take the pain meds once a day. I'm having a hard time getting my Protein and liquids in. I only did 30 grams of Protein and about 20oz of Water yesterday. Just doing laps around the house for exercise but I'm going to the mall today to do some walking. Good luck everyone!

29th was mine too, I feel good but I can't seem to be able to drink Protein I take two sips and I feel full. But I am able to drink Vitamin Water and tea which helps me get my liquids in, am going to try a different Protein today and see what happens. Water is also hard to drink.

Good luck to you all!

      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.
