Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25?



Recommended Posts

Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25? I had my surgery on 6/27. How are you all doing? I'm at the phase of eating mushy foods and tolerating Protein Shakes. Definately a learning process. Down 7ish lbs. Curious about everyone else. Btw Dr wizman was the surgeon at coral springs mc.

I was the 27th as well. Still dealing with pain but having a real hard time getting Water or anything in. Can only do an ounce at a time and it take awhile. I think I'm also having lots of gas issues. It's so hard to get the fluids down. Starting Protein Shakes tomorrow and kinda scared.

Well it feels good to know I'm not alone. I felt depressed for the 1st 2 days, pretty bad, felt like I made a mistake. My outlook has changed since then. This forum has helped a lot by reading and seeing I'm not alone.

Cold liquids cause me to have stomach pains, not sure if pain is a good word, it feels like preop when your super hungry, like a strong grumble.

I can eat but I have to eat slowly, like really slowly. A yogurt can take me 15min.

Had surgery on the 28th I was the last one that day so didn't get up into a room until 9pm. Still at the hospital battling high blood pressure and low potassium. First 2 days were extremely difficult. I am feeling much better like I just got over the surgery hump. I taking liquids fine today I start full liquids. Hoping I will be discharged to day however just woke up to half of my face swollen. Need to figure. Our what that's about. Wishing everyone here a speedy recovery.

Pillows pillows pillows. That's how I did it. My incision is on my right side and that's the side I sleep on. Wasn't able to sleep on that side till day 7 but used a pillow to relive the pressure. I'm nine days out now. Getting better. Sleeved on 6/22/17

I had Gastric Bypass on June 27. I don't have any problems getting fluids down.

My Dr has me drink one oz of Water every fifteen minutes. I look forward to the 1oz of cream of wheat and pudding. I don't think I get hungry it's probably head hunger. I am adding more 1 oz Protein Shake shots today.

My pain is mostly from gas. I hope my surgery worked. It's weird that I am not experiencing what everyone else is.

Is anyone else getting their fluids down no problem?

I had sleeve on 6/27. So far, no issues. Liquids go down easily and I even have some "mind hungry". I was up on the first day and I am taking 3 15-minutes slow walk a day. Still concerned that I will be hungry all the time, as I did not expect it on day 5. But optimist that it will work well.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
