Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Are you Getting enough Fluid in also? When your body is not moist enough every pain is intensified, are you giving your body a chance to rest? Stressing will also make pain worse, you have been through major surgery, although you are strong and capable of a lot, give yourself permission to relax and recuperate.Other than all my "old wife" type suggestions If it persists consult the medical people in your life. You and your comfort do matter![emoji6]

You are doing great, I was sleeved on 3/27/18 and I guess since it was from band to sleeve it’s been taking a little longer to catch up. But sip sip sip is the word, little by Little we will all make it. Thank you all for support and info on your daily progress.

You got this! So do I! ha

I had to push mine back a couple weeks because of scheduling conflicts but I am hoping he will let me progress beforehand. Seeing as we are doing so well!! I’m so happy to hear you are doing well. I had very little pain and never took the prescription pain med just children’s Tylenol. Also was hitting Water goals first day home which I think really helped. And walking a lot lol My friend had surgery with us too and she was having a HARD time.

      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.
