november sleeve



Recommended Posts

[mention=235710]Unclechaz[/mention] Today my stomach feels exactly like I'm having labor pains. I swear it spasms or has contractions when I swallow even a tiny bit too much. Sorry if I repeat myself, I'm taking my pain meds! I see a lot of people say they don't need them but I do for now.
I'm sorry to hear. Feel better.

Brand new here, but I got my sleeve on Nov. 5th. The first few days were pretty rough, mostly with nausea, but things are feeling much better today. My doctor gave me the go ahead for full liquids today, and it surprised me that it took two hours to drink a Premier Protein RTD this morning. Peppermint tea and diluted Powerade have been lifesavers! I feel like I've gotten off easy with the recovery so far, but I know I have a lot of challenges ahead of me. It will be great to be able to follow other sleevers who are around the same stage as I am.
Hi Morrigan. Glad you're feeling better! I added mint extract to my crystal light and it helped my nausea so much! It really helped me to hydrate when I didn't want anything in my stomach. I'm also on liquids.

I just had my sleeve surgery on Nov 7 th but I am having such a hard time with the clear liquid crap . I know things will be different when I can eat some food but I was wondering if anyone else felt this way
I'm finding it so hard to continue the clears too. Variety has definitely saved me but it's hard when I'm cooking REAL FOOD for my family plus every other commercial is for food. I just keep telling myself I've come too far to fail. You can do this! Keep pushing! :)

Hi

I go in on the 13th November in Australia. Been on 2-3 weeks of shakes and lost about 10kg before the op. Nervous but only a few days to go!

I'll tell you, the past two weeks were easier than I thought being on the liquid diet with some low-cal yogurt and one Proti-bar per day. However the last two days of clear liquid have officially sucked. I don't like the clear Protein Drink and I just feel weak and tired. On top of all that, nervous about tomorrow.

Mine is later in the day. 12:15pm, the hospital called on Friday to discuss last minute stuff and I hope it's not further delayed in the day and I'm done and through recovery with enough time to see my family. In the last week I've finally told my sister and my Mother so they want to be there now.

However I am also very encouraged. Both because I can't believe I've plowed through these last two weeks without a single mis-step and because I finally found this community. It's so nice to be here, even though I'm mostly a lurker and haven't posted much.

So, how are the rest of my November 11th brothers and sisters doing?

One week post-op weigh in. Down 14.5 ( at least on my home scale v. Hospital scale). Love this message from the FeelFit app:SmartSelect_20191111-091205_WhatsApp.jpeg

      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.
