Officially on the losers bench!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 09 January, and I am finally home and in recovery. My surgeon was able to do the single incision and I'll insert a photo here so those of you that are interested, can see! The whole day (and first few days post op) was documented on my YouTube channel as well!!

However, I still feel actual hunger pains in my tummy & I also have the hiccups really bad. They're very painful. Did any of you experience either? I'm walking and whatnot, so not sure what else I can do. Ah!!! Still so unreal that I've been SLEEVED!!

*the scarring above my belly button is from an old belly button piercing. The surgery was done through my actual belly button*

YESSS! UGH! it's still not pleasant for me to hiccup like that, but it's like EVERYTIME I EAT. Now that I'm 4 weeks post op I don't have pain, it's just weird and ...embarrassing. I feel like a science experiment sometimes, but HEY! as long as the scale goes down, I don't mind the hiccups.

I heard of the one incision. Looks great! I however had 5 and My Doc sealed them with glue very neatly. 4 wks out and I can hardly see them. Shout out to Dr. John at the Nicholson Clinic.... No hiccups for me.

      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.
