Late December Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

New to the group, sleeved on 12/27. Feeling alright, except having BP issues. I was on meds prior to surgery, and now my pressures are low post surgery and my body isn’t sure how to deal with normal pressures. Dizzy bed lightheadedwhen I am standing/ get up from sitting down. Dr. Is monitoring. Anyone else deal with this?

Yes, and this was after halving the medication I take for my systolic right after surgery. Going to see my primary doctor on Wednesday. My home BP monitor said it was 127/72, but those things aren't particularly reliable.

I'm totally opposite. I have not went since day before surgery and my lower back feels like it is going to break!

I had mine 12/22...and I’ve been feeling hunger pains since about day 5.




I’m on day 7 and felt hunger pains today for the first time. My doctor said to drink a Protein Shake and that’ll curb it till I’m on my next phase.

Im on day 7, too, and I’ve definitely felt hungry and had my stomach growling. I started puréed food today. It’s not going down well - feels like a punch in the stomach! 😕

I definitely want to eat. Real bad. Tonight we went out for my dads birthday and it was torture. But I don’t really feel physical hunger.

Hi Lotte22, I had my surgery on 12/14. How are you doing so far?

I’m doing well. Still some soreness and discomfort. I over exert myself (by necessity) and I haven’t been perfect on the post op diet. But I’m getting through it. I discovered miso Soup yesterday. It’s a clear liquid with tons of salt so it helps Water retention and is soooo delicious! How are you?

      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.
