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.

      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.
