Got sleeved yesterday Sept 5th!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum! Had my sleeve done in Medellin, Colombia yesterday September 5th.

I am not going to lie, I felt like hell yesterday, I kept asking myself why I ever did this to myself. I had horrible throw up fits and was just puking contrast. They kept giving me some nausea medicine and it finally calmed down.

Needless to say my stitches bled a bit, I was really worried that I was going to pop one. But thankfully that didn't happen!

So today, day 2, is a brand new day. I am still in pain and feel like I did 550 abdominals but the back pain and discomfort from the CO2 has passed for the most part.

I am now in my hotel room as I got let out at noon. Car ride was no fun;( but made it and I am relaxing and trying to get my Protein and liquids in.

Yesterday whenever I drank something my stomach and esophagus would cramp up, today the pain has been a lot less.

How do you manage to get all the solids in!? I have two sips and feel full and uncomfortable.

My large stitch is hurting! Okay so today is a brand new day! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

Thanks for hearing me out!

Congrats on getting the surgery done. Just take it slow because you are still healing. Don't worry about getting enough Protein in the first week. Just focus on getting enough liquid. It will get better. I literally felt like death until day 5. Hang in there and take it easy.

Thursday 3 days post op went in to see the nutritionist for further consult. Already lost 5.6lbs I am in schock! So she asked me to move into phase 2 on her plan which is fluids but includes vegetable cream Soup with lactose fat free milk! Felt delicious going down! Made a squash cream Soup with a bullion cube some milk and boiled squash. Loved it! However it is now 3 hours later and I am feleling a bit weird feels like if I am going to be sick to my stomach, is this normal bc I introduced milk? Or is it maybe a bm? Haven't had one since the surgery... Appreciate all the help I can get! Haven't been sick yet it's just the feeling!

      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.
