June 2013 Sleevers! "The List"
SheWins1 replied to rebecca_dsu's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved also the 24th. Starting to get liquids down, But very sleepy still. -
Is it the Isopure protein water drink in glass bottles or is it the shake? If it's the protein water, you are fine. You need that protein for health reasons and fat lose / muscle gain. Maybe try s.f. popsicles or Jello, if u cant drink water down. Best of luck!

Please call your doctor and tell them what you just wrote. Personally, I think you may be walking to long. You just had MAJOR SURGERY. I hope you feel better soon. If your doctors office is not open, I think you should cut your walking time down to 5minutes. Just my opinion. Take care! {{{Hugs}}}

June 25th Sleevers? I need a buddy...
SheWins1 replied to pinkeeez83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok... feeling muccch better! Got some hydrocodone down and my other pills. I also got my heating pad out again to use! DDAAAAHHH! WHAT WAS I NOT THINKING! That was the key for me in the hospital and just forgot to do it here at home. I'm not feeling bloated anymore. Still hard getting so much water/protein in. -

SheWins1 replied to pinkeeez83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved Monday, June 24th. I am having a tough time drinking fluids also. Very frustrating. Constant fullness. Taking my crushed pills is the worst.I just made myself a protein shake , took one sip and I am so full & uncomfortable!!! Hard to take my hydrocodone also. Hopefully this will pass soon!! -

This is such a great prep time for you. I can't even imagine NOT doing this pre op diet! You will be AMAZED but the weight that comes off when you go into surgery and get weighed! I was discouraged the first week, with only losing 3 pounds. I was elated day of surgery when the scale showed I had dropped another 10 pounds!!total of 13 pounds!! it felt soooo good and promising to know I was on the right track! Don't weigh yourself in the hospital. I had gained 11 pounds. They told me that was normal from the i.v.s and healing process. I weighed my self tonight, Post op 5 days and I've released/lost 4 of the 11 gained. So I'm not worried. Be strong and aske them for WHATEVER you may need! Best wishes.

Ella, you are soooo very welcome! When u get out of recovery? Lay on a heating pad for a few hours, then place on chest/ tummy area. This helped me sooooo much with the gas until I could get up and walk. I had forgot my heating pad, but the hospital had one. So, please be sure to ask for that as well. {{{Hugs}}} -

I will say a prayer for you & the rest of todays sleevers. Dear Jesus, please watch over todays sleevers as they begin their new journey. Watch over their surgeons , & give each person the strength and comfort needed during & after this surgery. Please take the worry away with the faith they have in you, this I ask in your name, Amen. I hope this gives you all a peace of calm. Also be sure to ask for a "cocktail" before you go under. It helps so much. Sending {{{hugs}}}- She Wins 1 -

I am doing great! Thanks! For the 2 week pre-op diet, I lost a total of 13lbs.!!! I was shocked cuz the first week was only 3lbs. When I checked in Monday morning and stepped on the scale and I was down to 273!!! I won't weigh in again until July 11th. That's my 2 week check up.
