Anyone else sleeved recently? How are you doing with pain and fluids intake?

I honestly don’t think I’m eating enough.... my hunger pains actually hurt and i eat but can’t find my full... how long did u all find yours? I was sleeved Jan 30th

I am doing great. Post Op yesterday. Stitches removed and finally got drain out. I can’t believe how a few days after surgery I don’t have pain. Once in awhile if I move just so I get a twinge. Hope all my surgery twins are doing as well [emoji3]

Our celebration when I get to my goal weight will be to have another baby.

Thank you and good luck on Friday

Congrats!!! I was sleeved Jan 25th and have lost 17 lbs since. I know it’s been hard but it’s definitely worth it!! Blessings on your journey!

I have to use a straw if I want to not take tiny sips and I know it’s bad but it works for me

13 lbs now after 5 full days. I’m still taking pain pills to get comfortable and sleep.

Yay so exciting!! Does anyone have Instagram?? Add me lovelife4u_rny

I am a Jan. 30th Buddy, too! How are you feeling today? I am quite fine but get some spasms occasionally.

I feel fine aside from the muscle pain but other than that I feel like I could take on the world. Any other sleevers able to sleep on their sides or stomach?

I should be on fulls til the 12th too but my booklet says 1-2 weeks after full I can start so I’m gonna ease my way into purée. Like I said I’m having trouble with Protein and with purée there’s a lot of protein options so I’m just gonna do what feels comfortable to my stomach

How are you feeling?!

Heyyyyyyyyy Twins I had mine done on the 30th

Does anyone knows when they tell you if you approve or not for the surgery. With medicaid coverage???!!! They set my surgery date for march 12 but they are going to send all the information to my insurance first. any help please im so scared that i might not get approved. I have a BMI of 37 severe joint pain an a history of tachycardia and hospitalization because of tachycardia.

I was sleeved 1/9/18. Things are going Ok. I was only on a pre op diet for one week prior. BariatricPal liquid for 3 days. Full liquid for 1 week and now I am entering my last of three weeks of purees (thank God). I too struggle to get both my Protein and my Water. I am SO over shakes so that hinders my protein intake. But overall I feel good. From starting weight (before pre op) I am down about 30 lbs with no exercise other than making sure I’m walking lots. I start soft foods on Friday and am hoping to get cleared for full exercise next Monday when I meet my surgeon for a one month follow up. I don’t have as much energy as I used to- but being down 30 pounds takes a little less energy to do things so all in all- I’m doing well. Good luck to you! It’s nice to have people who had surgery so close to mine to compare notes!

Hi! I was sleeved on Wed. Jan 24th. I lost about 20 lbs on the pre-op liquid diet, so started out at 297, surgery weight 277, and today am 267, so 10 lbs lost since surgery.
Everyone's program is so different. I'm still on full liquids until 14 days post-op, when I can start purees. My surgery went great and I'm recovering really well - I just wish I could progress a little faster on the diet phases.
I drink about 96 oz. of Water a day in addition to my liquid foods of sf Jello, Bone Broth, Premier Protein shakes, and strained cream of Soups, which is mostly hot salty milk.
I'm happy to connect with fellow January sleevers!

Haha my vsg was on the 24th and mine came the 29th! Crazy!!!

Well that's great. Hows your pain

The first two weeks I was on liquids. I ate chicken broth, drunk tea, sugar free popsicles and Premier Protein shakes. Then the next two weeks, I ate ricotta bake and blended pretty much everything from meat to Beans. If you're sensitive to cheese, I wouldn't eat much ricotta bake. I ended up being constipated for a couple days. The next 2 weeks I've eaten chili from Wendy's. Made my own chili beans with very lean ground beef meat. Like 97% lean. I also started blending my own Protein Shakes. I ordered Unjury unflavored Protein Powder. Added spinach, Protein powder, strawberries, blueberries and my Multivitamins and flax seeds to a nutribullet and that's what I do everyday 2 times a day. Now at 7 weeks, I've started eaten chicken, very soft cooked meat. I've eaten steamed broccoli. Two nights ago, I grilled some Jamaican jerk chicken (spicy) and had no problems. The only problems I have is trying to get 64 oz of Water down. I still wake up with desert dry mouth because of that. Also, the eggs. I'm just gonna stay far far away. It's not meant for me. Monday is my birthday and I received some chocolate covered strawberries and I'm not sure if I should indulge 🤔
