How to find long-time Sleevers?? (3+ years post-op)



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I'm new to this site and trying to figure out how to easily locate long-time Sleevers (3+ years post-op)

I like to get their seasoned wisdom on the experience.

Thanks!

I am 2 years post op. Best decision I ever made! I was in The hospital for 4 days due to N/V, that was the worse it ever got for me so it wasn’t bad. I’m off my CPAP and no longer on any BP meds for over a year now. **take your Vitamins and exercise** Not 3+ years but hope this helps. I do get hiccups often though 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Pushing seven years out here. Are you involved in a bariatric program yet? If so, they should be able to hook you up with some long term post ops, and there may be some who hang around their support group meetings (if they hold them.) Beyond that, ask away, and good luck on this venture.

Four and a half years. There’s a “veterans” folder but honestly there aren’t many of us on here regularly. And those of us on here sorta check in and out.

Thanks all!

My doc does have a monthly meetup for his post-op patients. Hopefully, I can find long-time sleevers there.....as they can better help keep the experience in perspective.

      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.
