Sleeved today...so far so good



Recommended Posts

I had my VGS surgery this morning. Everything went great.

The gas pain is no joke but it's manageable. So far my incision pain is low. I've been on several walks....for me walking is less painful than laying in bed or sitting in the chair.

Even after all the abdominal surgeries I've had that involved being 'blown up', I can't remember for the life of me how it felt. Getting old really sucks, lol.

Congrats glad to hear ur having such a good recovery...Wish i could have said the same, i had 3 c-sections and though i knew pain but this was a shocker...i had surgery on 4-14 and i was in so much pain they gave me dilated (i thinks thats spelled right) because i cried from recovery and hrs into the night after they tried to manage me with morpahine and it didnt work...the pains in my chest and back took my breathe away and the pain in my stomach...smh...everyday is better but they say it was gas and i walked the following morning to find no relief...now a week later i still feel the gas in my chest and back but no were near the first couple days....i dont know but i havent heard any1 elses story of how it was for me...

      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.
