Anyone get their sleeve February 2019



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is 2/25/2019. I'm very nervous and scared of what my life will be like right after.
Do what you can today to make your post-op life easier. The recovery is a little harder than I anticipated. Fill your pantry with Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, popsicles, broth, and gas-x. I cleaned my whole house the night before and put away all dishes and laundry so I wouldn't have to think about it. Anticipate being off your feet, except for short walks to relieve gas, for the next 2-3 days. Keep your head up, it does get better.

I was able to take Tylenol’ pills. The first 24 hours were the toughest but it gets better everyday. I echo what everyone else says, walk walk walk and sip sip sip! Good luck!

I’ve been getting super light headed also! I’ve been drinking Fluid constantly so I have no idea what is going on. I have my first pre op appointment Wednesday so hopefully the surgeon can enlighten me

Mine is too. We will be fine. Just breath and read. I've learned a lot from the different people. And no 2 of us are alike. The first few weeks are bodies are healing. Best wishes. Let us know how you do.

Sleeved Feb 11th! Yesterday was 2 weeks out. Down 21 pounds. Super low energy and trouble staying on top of Water intake. I’m having trouble figuring out which foods are ok with me- turns out I’m one of the people who become lactose intolerant after. Hope everyone is coming along and feeling well!

Hi everyone, just had it done on the 20th . Just feeling weak a lot. Did anyone experience that too?
Yes! Feeling weak is definitely my #1 symptom. I’m 9 days further out from you so I can tell you it DOES get better. Hang in there!

      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.
