Looking for January 2017 sleevers



Recommended Posts

I think I had my first dumping syndrome. I drank some apple cider and within 30 minutes I had horrible stomach cramps, diarrhea and weakness/dizzyness. It was pretty sucky and I'll be working to avoid doing that again anytime soon

Only one more week to go! The pre-op diet will be tough at times I think. So far I'm thinking of everything I didn't eat and will want for the next few weeks

Doing pretty well today! I slept in my bed last night after sleeping on the sofa/chaise since Thursday (it hurt too much to lay flat or on my side) so it was nice to curl up next to the Hubs. (And by "curl up," I mean "slightly bend." I'm not that flexible yet.) Plus my dogs weren't so confused about where Mom was - ha. I woke up this morning with very little pain - the largest incision is still a bit sore but overall I'm feeling a lot better.

I still have 2 more days left on my "Week 1 - Clear Liquids" phase but I have introduced some diluted Tomato Soup and that's gone well. I've also had teeny bits of goat cheese (in the soup) and haven't had any issues. Other than that I've just been drinking my Protein shakes (I use Premier Protein and like them), chicken broth, diluted apple juice (only if I start feeling shaky), and SF popsicles. But I CANNOT do Jell-o. I tried all kinds of flavors and I just can't. Texture maybe? Regardless, not for me. Ha.

The biggest news is that I am down 9.8 pounds in one week! That is crazy. Yay! :D

My one week follow up is this Thursday so we shall see how that goes! (SD was 1.11)

The last two days have been challenging to say the least. I've thrown up multiple times on at least three separate occasions. Taking solid Vitamins appears to be getting harder and food/liquids seem to be taking longer to move on than expected. I wait half an hour after having fluids and find that food won't stay down. Meanwhile weightloss appears to have slowed. I'm feeling more tired and rundown despite doing slightly less. I'm hoping this is a phase and it too shall pass without too much difficulty.

Hang in there. My dr mentioned some feel lots of fatigue a few weeks post op. Do you have a nausea med? Maybe call your dr.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
