Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25?



Recommended Posts

So I am doing purées but feeling like I cannot get very much down. Can do about an ounce but takes me awhile. I can do three ounces of my liquids and protien mixes. But the purées seem so much less. How's everyone else's capacity?

I was sleeved on 6/22/17. I did not have a purée stage. I was on Protein Shakes the day after surgery and by day 6 I was on yogurt and apple sauce. By my 2 week post op I was eating ground beef and tuna fish. I haven't had much trouble eating except when I take just one bite too much. I measure everything- sometimes an ounce is enough- like with the ground meat. Still chew everything and wait between bites. Not drinking is the hardest thing for me. I was told to try to take 30 minutes to eat those 2 ounce meals. I don't always take that long. I'd call your dr's office and talk with them. Have you had a post op visit yet?

I had my surgery on the 6/29. I am getting better at drinking fluids, my problem is the pain from the incisions I can't roll at night I can't sneeze it's very painful not to mention the issue of Constipation. I wonder how long the pain from the incisions will get better.
Thank you,

Have you tried milk of magnesia or Miralax for the constipation? That what my doc recommended.
My incisions still hurt occasionally. Pain pills help if it's really bad. Watch for infection though.
I hope you are feeling better soon!

I hope you are feeling better now. Leaks are extremely rare. I know what you mean about blood clots though. I have had a few leg cramps and got really nervous.

Everytime I eat a bite, it gets stuck in my esophagus. I have to wait for it to go down before another bite. It takes almost three minutes between each bite. Should it take this long?

Anyone still have the gurgly tummy? I don't really have indigestion. Just my stomach is constantly gurgling and churning. Is this normal? I take an acid reducer every morning.




Mine gets gurgly whenever eat anything. I'm 6 weeks post op. I'm on Omeprazole which the surgeon said I'll take until 3 mos. But it doesn't bother me just noisy and weird.

      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.
