I was sleeved on 2/28 and have been wanting to eat regular food for about a week now. I can't have puréed for till next Friday which seems like FOREVER. And I just want to chew and swallow real food. Good to know you arm rent having any issues.
I did clear liquids for 1 week and then I'm on liquids (anything you can pour from one cup to another, strained to remove chunks) for week 2-3. Then purée for week 4. Then soft food (fish, etc) week 5. Solids week 6.
I can say that Friday was a lot better and today has been really easy. I have to remind myself that I just had surgery so take it easy but I good. Always cold, but good. Nurse said that is normal.
Mom23kids no you are still classifying it as sleeve surgery they are just listing the hernia as the number one. It's all about coding with the insurance companies.
Ask your surgeon if you can call it a henial hernia removal with sleeve gastronomy. That's how I got mine covered. Some Drs and hospitals will work with you in whatever way possible. Never hurts to ask!
Today is one week post op gastric sleeve surgery. Yesterday I tried to come back to work I felt terrible. Chills. Very weak. No fever. Today my body is sore. Did anyone else have these issues?
