Any February Sleevers?

[Tgrindle 23]

Well I am a week out from my sleeve, I think things are going well, still some pain and discomfort but gets better everyday, I’m getting up in the morning and having a 10oz cup of Decaf coffee with caramel Protein as a Creamer, takes me about an hour to drink it. I’m having a cream Soup or lunch which I can get about 8 baby spoons full down before I’m stuffed. Then maybe a little yougurt at night, I have been walking some and using the nectar Protein in Water so I can get close to my protein goal

There have been some emotional breakdowns especially since my wife has gone back to work but I’m not regretting it.

I am a week post op and I had my follow up and I am down 17lbs, it makes this journey worth it.

My Nutritionist said to try and get 400-500 calories a day for the first week but mostly to focus on getting in enough liquids. 48-64 Oz of liquids a day. I reached my calorie goal easily when I ate Cream of Wheat. I waited about a week after surgery to eat that though, but it is high in Carbs and calories but delicious and pretty easy to get down. I am now in my second week and am told to get in 500-600 calories a day. My surgery was on 2/12 and I just got back to work today. I work a desk job. I am still in some pain and wish I could take some of my harder meds, but I will wait until after work so that I can stay coherent.

Thank you I just wanted to check

Tomorrow is sleeve day. I'm a little nervous, but mostly ok.

Here's a quick question. How long was your actual OR time? The hospital called me last night and said the surgeon blocked off the OR for 5 hours, which seems just crazy. There is a chance she'll do a small hiatal hernia repair also, if she can find it. But 5 hours? What was your experience?

My Dr. told me the surgery took 40 minutes. Mine was just the sleeve and a liver biopsy, no haital hernia repair. Maybe she is doing multiple patients the same day? I know my surgeon does.

Yep doc told me 45 min to an hour.

Mine was 2 hours, he was looking to repair a hernia but did not find it.

They always block off more time

Wow! I heard it added a few minutes!

[Sunny_Me 17]

Thanks everyone. I really think 5 hours is crazy, but maybe she schedules for any possible problem instead of likely time (so the OR is ahead of schedule instead of behind.)
