Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on the 6/26 and the first 2 days were brutal. I cried, I regretted the surgery, I was angry, nauseous, in pain, afraid to drink... all of the possible cons that you could think of I dealt with, but thankfully all of that has subsided ! The biggest thing I recommend is making sure to take your recommended antacids and gas medicine. The pain I thought was from my incisions was mostly gas pain. So getting up and walking around, and getting off my pain medicine is what helped me the most, because I could better determine what type of pain I was feeling. Also get on the scale, in just 6 days I've lost 11lbs. Seeing the weight drop so quickly has made those tough days worth it.

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 am getting them down for now with no issues, but the gas is crazy

I had surgery 6/29. I cried this morning but I also hadn't taken children's Tylenol yet so I was feeling all of it at once. Ive spent the day walking around, reading, talking to friends about my progress via text and watching on demand shows. Find something to do and walk around a lot. Good luck to you!

Are you folks who are dealing with gas having bowel movements? If you are not having b.m.s then try stool softeners, my doc recommended me to use them.

Had mine 6/28 doing great now onto phase 2 full liquids until day 13 then move to phase 3 purée foods. I have no issues getting down the liquids bought unflavored Protein to add to Soup. Still having gas no solid BM yet. Although I don't like pain meds taking them twice a day to control BP calling my general dr tomorrow

Anyone else neevous? I'm doing what I'm supposed to and I think I'm okay but I keep freaking out about getting a leak or a blood clot. Any little pain in my legs puts me in a panic attack. I'm driving my husband nuts I'm sure. I just hate feeling off.

I feel great - not hungry - but if I was I would have a shake or protien- I had my first BM today - I was sent home with senna to take every night.

It reminds me of having a baby - you take your time and the new bowel and habits develop. It's fun!

      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.
