Looking for January 2017 sleevers



Recommended Posts

Good luck jenn1818 on Tuesday. There wasn't pain that would make me bed bound. When I woke up after GA i had heavy chest and just wanted to sleep. I had morphine that I controlled myself and that was magic cuz I had no pain the whole time and little discomfort was sorted with morphine click. They kept making sure I comfortable.

So pain not much. Now at home it only feels like indigestion and itching around Steches.

I managed to do my food shopping today and met my friends after school drop off.

Hope this is helpful xx

Back to old me soon

My friend's husband had the surgery in June. He had a great description...he said, "The first day you feel like you've been run over by a mack truck. The next day more like a van and then a mini-van, a sedan a VW bug and a smart car...every day gets a little better. It hurts but less every day.

I have some kind of burning inside - I can never tell if it's hunger, heartburn, gas or what. I had no nausea but I haven't pooped in like 5 days which I'm starting to be a little concerned about. I stopped the pain meds yesterday and seem to be doing fine without them - there is pain but it's not unbearable. I went to the movies last night which was cool.

I'm finding I have emotional fluctuations. I woke up depressed this morning and I'm fighting it but it sucks. I'm not losing any weight but I'm guessing that's partly because of the Constipation but that's depressing too. For some reason I thought I would be back to "normal" faster and I'm chafing at the bit a little.

How's everyone else doing?

I am actually in the hospital right now waiting for my 8a.m. surgery. A little bit nervous. The chaplain came in and he prayed with my husband and me. I feel I am in really good hands. I am sixty years old, this is actually my birthday present to myself. Good luck

      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.
