Gastric Sleeve surgery done on 1/16/18



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Came home yesterday after spending the night at the hospital. Today was quote painful especially on the incision site ..which am assuming is normal. My question for the forum is that..I didn't have any has pains and I have not had a bowel movement. Is that normal? And I've not been able to consume the 4 oz every hour as requested. Anyone else going thru the same?

Congrats! On your surgery! I was having the same problem with the Water intake as well and i still have not been able to drunk the required amount as of yet and I am 2 wks post. Bowel movement will come maybe 3 days of being home I was required to take Mirlax to assist with the process since I was not eating food but rather on the liquids.< br>

FOR THE BEST!!!![emoji173][emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]

Hi, surgery was 1/12. My first bowel movement was after 4 days. I can only drink 2 ounces every 3-4 hours. Have lost 15 pounds. Good luck to everyone!!!

I know it’s hard but drink that Water. I passed out yesterday and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance. I was dehydrated with a very low BP. My surgery was 1/18 and today I had my first watery BM.

How are you doing now?

How are you doing now?

I’m doing better, but it’s still a struggle to get all my liquids in. I’m getting about 11 oz Water, two popsicles, and 8 oz of Protein Shake. I don’t have much pain around the incisions, but I do have pain from drinking water. And walking up stairs takes every last bit of energy I have. But on the bright side, I took a shower!!

      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.
