Celiac Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi all! Surgery is approaching for me (12/13) and I have Celiac disease. I was wondering if there was any more of me out there who could tell me if having Celiac made a difference or not during their post op experience! Thanks!

I too was diagnosed with Celiac. My surgery was September 26th. It hasn't made a difference in the post op for me. In fact, I think it has helped as I've not been able to eat certain foods for years, so I don't miss them. I just say I can't eat that and move on to things I can eat.

I'm not celiac but have several intolerances to foods. My NUT believed this would go away after surgery. She was COMPLETELY wrong if anything I think it's increased my sensitivities.

I don't but think a good post-op plan would be very helpful for someone with celiacs (high Protein, low carb). Definitely work with your NUT to make sure you have a good plan in place.

      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.
