Getting Sleeve on Wednesday



Recommended Posts

I get my sleeve this Wednesday (3/14/18). My thoughts and emotions are all over the place. Nervous, excited, worried, happy, depressed, hopeful, angry, hyper, exhausted. Is this normal?


I’m getting it done the same day!

I’d say it’s normal because I feel the same!

Yes totally normal! I was terrified! I’m almost a month out from my surgery and I’m down 27 pounds. Keep your eye on the prize! I’m not going to lie- the first couple of days for me were ROUGH but it was mainly gas pain and nausea. Once I got past that it was smooth sailing. I’ve eaten out with friends several times since I’ve been on soft foods (none of them suspected anything. I haven’t told anyone I was sleeved but my immediate family) and I’m living my normal life and routine now...except I eat a lot less food. And the best part.....the money we now save weekly on my groceries we are moving to hiring a cleaning service just stay focused and look forward to what you will gain with the surgery. Take a deep breath. Say a prayer and relax!

So I am in the recovery room having had my surgery at 8:30 Wednesday. I totally agree that the pain and in particular the gas bubbles are harsh. It doesn’t help that the night nurse is Nurse Ratched. Just happy the surgery is done. Had a massive level 4 hernia that was discovered as well.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
