Sleeved on yesterday



Recommended Posts

Hi All. I was sleeved on yesterday. Upon waking up, I had a serious headache from the anesthesia. The worst part was the nausea and I was burping like crazy. I didn't feel better until I vomited a little. Anybody else experience this?

The first couple of days post-op are going to be rough. You will have a lot of discomfort, possibly some pain, possibly som nausea, and just feel generally pretty crappy. Hang in there.

You probably will regret it in the early days. Almost all of us go through a period of "buyer's remorse". It's just crappy all around. The good news is, it gets better and better with each passing day. It will feel like it's dragging on forever in the moment, but soon enough you'll be a month out, looking back, and not be able to believe how far you've come in so little time. Just have to tough out this rough period. I was crying every single day, wondering "what did I do to myself?!?!" and "will I ever feel normal again". But I survived and made it through and my "regrets" about the surgery soon slipped away and were replaced with confidence that I'd made one of the best decisions of my life!

The first few days are really tough. I had lots of crying fits and moments of regret. A month later, I can say that it was the best decision. Hang in there ld33! It'll get better every day!

      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.
