Debstr66 got a reaction from mike.alvarez in My sleeve Day 1
Hi Mike,
I'm five days out (POD#5) now and doing really well with my Protein goals and Fluid intake. I rely on Vitamin Water Zero and unjury Protein drinks. Some are good with just Water and others (like chocolate) are really good with skim milk. They aren't chalky or gritty and they taste really great. The unflavored Unjury smells a little funny but is tasteless when mixed with broth or Soup.
Somehow I really lucked out and got over the gas bloating on POD#1 and back to work on POD#2. Today I'm sitting in my hotel room in Burbank since I started up my weekly travel back and forth from Las Vegas to LA area to for a software implementation.
Cheers!

Congrats BabySheldon! You're doing really awesome! Is that your "after" picture, cuz you look great! I can't even imagine what I'll look like when I hit goal. But it's better than fat!!!

Day 1 postop and feeling fabulous! I'm meeting my Fluid and Protein goals. Pain is minimal, only around the big incision where they took the port, lapband, and excised stomach out. I have 5 incisions. No nausea at all today. My hubby and I can't believe how great I'm feeling. I hope all of you have a similar experience. I've read a wide range of outcomes.
Cheers!

Re-NUDE, yes band removal and VSG in the same surgery. Dr Hanna does these as an outpatient procedure.

Hi everyone! First, congrats to all who had their surgery and hope you have an easy recovery.
I was sleeved first thing this morning and feeling pretty good. The whole thing done in an hour. Dr said it was easy lapband removal. Surgery started about 7:30am and I was home by 11:00am. Was feeling queasy and a little uncomfortable from the gas. Took a 2 hour nap when I got home. Now walking and sipping my reduced sodium chicken broth with a scoop of Unjury chicken. Doing great, no nausea, pain scale maybe a 1.
Cheers!

I started my clear liquid preop diet today. Doing good so far, kinda hungry though. The low sodium chicken broth with a scoop of chicken flavored Unjury Protein Powder is pretty satisfying. Surgery is first thing Wednesday morning. Can't believe how fast the surgery date came up.
Cheers!
