Any other November sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I have my pre-op at the hospital today (around 10:30). Surgery next Friday (11/18). So far on my pre-op diet (low carb) I've lost 3lbs.

Congrats! I hate this liquid diet. I'm turning into a crybaby! I can see that I will probably be rather emotional after surgery. Ugh

I received mine on November 4th.

How are you handling Thanksgiving if your on liquids and surgery is after the holiday? I'll be on my 2 week liquid 500 cal a day diet. Surgery is Nov 29th

Perhaps some Tomato Soup if that is allowed per your doctor recommended diet? Some of those are low in calories, but I don't know about sugar/carbs/fat. Definitely check with your nutritionist. I'm sure they hear that question a lot.

I'm sorry you're on a liquid diet. At least after surgery you get full faster so maybe it won't be so hard, but before surgery nothing has changed so I can't imagine how hard that is.

She and I have the same Dr. It's Protein shakes, h2o, broth, Jello and popsicles.

Okay. Mine is similar, but not exact.

I use adobo seasoning with pepper from the my Latin market to add flavor to my broth, which I love. Others have said they made broth with carrots, celery, seasoning, then strained it to add more flavor. I also found a Thai seasoned chicken stock (nutritional information fit guidelines of what I could have) at my local Wegman's. I'd probably be okay with that and Protein Shakes. Maybe have a caramel flavored one (premiere Protein is what I use) for "dessert".

My surgery was Nov 4th. I'm a week post op. I got the preop jitters the morning of my surgery. My surgeon went over the complications of the surgery with my husband and I, and he said he's never seen or heard of anything happening in surgery. It's how well YOU follow directions post op. You'll be fine :) just follow your post op diet, walk around every hour, and keep hydrated and you'll be on the right track.

Don't be scared.

I was. But it was not anywhere as bad as I thought it would be.

I had the sleeve. Took less than 45 min.

Even with all my health issues I went home the next day.

To me the worst thing is the GAS.

I'm scheduled for 11/21 too. Seems like there's a lot of us for that date.

      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!
