Surgery was Aug 29th 2017



Recommended Posts

Hello I had my sleeve done Aug 29th 2017. I havent had any complications but I did have gas bubbles in my collar bone from the co2 that was very painful but finally went away. I'm basically just wanting to know when will I start losing weight. When I started this i was 299 and day of surgery I was 244. My weight when I was discharged was 260 i stayed a day n a half n the hospital and now today I am 254. I'm not hungry at all but everytime I drink it feels like a ton of bricks being dropped in my stomach. I'm always tired and kinda feel weak. Other than never feeling hungry I don't have any other things to help me feel good about this. When do i start seeing changes? I see the weight dropping but the inches aren't going anywhere.

I was sleeved on the 38th and am feeling the same ad you. With the exception that I still have the gas pains. Very annoying. I am also tired and weak.

Also I get the feeling I need to burp but when I try it comes to be like a cramping indigestion sensation. It hurts pretty bad. I take gas x pills but I can't help not being able to burp. Is this normal? And does it get better?

      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.
