I also had surgery on 6/22/22. How are you doing now that we are officially 5 weeks post op?

Lost 19 pounds since surgery. Slow going.

I wasn’t prepared for how my body was gonna feel first two weeks post op when you are completely malnourished.(I had very strict diet) I never expected to feel so bad…wiped out…drained..no tolerance for daily activity.

How are you doing?

I was sleeved on June 22nd. Lost 10 lbs

1 st post op week then 0 since.

I am 13 days post op. 10 lbs since day of surgery. Been stalled last 4 days. I did lose 7 lbs the week before surgery. Tomorrow I start soft foods. I did go ahead and try some refried been mash tonight and I can only eat maybe 1 oz without vomiting back up into my mouth. Iv been struggling with getting in liquids and liquid Proteins due to restriction. Can’t imagine eating enough to get Protein in. This is way more difficult to manage nutritionally then I ever expected

What’s everyone’s weight loss been ?? Is it what you expected. Yes or No ?

At least the 30th is this week…although I know it’s not much help. It does seem extreme to me, but what do I know? The post op eating criteria seems to be all over the place.
Do you have a nutritionist who has been assigned to you?

Yes. This is the programs guidelines. I can’t even drink clear Protein Drinks.

What about Protein? You're not getting any calories or Protein at all until June 30?

No. Next week I am allowed to add in 1 protein drink per day along with my continued clear liquid. I may breakdown a sip a muscle milk today. I feel pretty crappy

I'm 6/22 & getting hungry for substance. Post-op clear diet is rough after 3 weeks of the liver diet.

I was 6/22 and I am with ya.

5 days post op. I am on clear liquids only until June 30th. No sugar free popsicles or anything. Only room temp. ,clear decaf; sugar free clear liquids. I swear some of my stomach pain is my stomach growling. I am tired, weak and feel like I need 1 Protein Drink !. In the hospital 24 hours after surgery I was allowed 5 sips. the next day 5 sips thats it ! no ice chips NOTHING. I think my stomach is eating itself. my goal is to get up to 40 oz of clear liquids by June 30th. I feel so shitty I doubt thats gonna happen. Anyone else this strict ??? I was below qualifying for surgery on day of surgery due to preop diet. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Just ranting

Hi I had surgery 6/22, anyone else??

🙋🏼‍♀️ Came home yesterday. Very uncomfortable gas. Constant belching which is painful

Acopas ….. how are you feeling ? Today I was allowed 5 sips. Not drinks 5 sips. Tomorrow 5 sips for the day as well. It felt like pressure going down when I swallowed them I got a little nauseous. It passed after a few min. Not sure how going home tomorrow is gonna go. Going from5 sips all day to trying to get in 64 Oz of Water !

How did surgery go?

It went well. Terrible night. Gas pains are horrendous. Feels like my back is breaking and I’m having a heart attack ! And no matter what they give me I’m nauseated. Never had an ice cup or anything yet. My mouth is dry and my breath probably smells like my mouth taste. But. It’s over and only gets better from here. I guess …… how did you day go ??

Best of luck! We’ve got this. Praying for your surgery to go well and you have an easy recovery.

I have no idea who you are… but when I woke up this morning I thought about you and how we were experiencing the same situation hundreds of miles apart. Makes me feel less alone… so weirdly enough. Lol. I will be thinking about you today

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well.

I had my pre op appt and lab work yesterday, insurance approval letter arrived yesterday as well! I have to get my COVID test tomorrow and then self quarantine till surgery.

Looks like everything is a go for 6/6/22, My surgery is at 7:30 am PST. I'm surprisingly not nervous or having anxiety about the surgery itself. My anxiety is due to after the procedure.

I've done better than I expected myself to do on the full liquid diet, down 12 Lbs down in 11 days. I have to switch to Clear Liquids on Sunday with drinking 28 oz of Gatorade before bedtime and then 24 oz of Gatorade before 5:30 am the day of.

I'm so excited for all of us and to hear about everyone's journey after surgery.

What were your pre op labs ? They just told me and EKG and Chest xray and labs. But didn’t say what specific labs. I’m just curious

I’m curious… how/when did you guys get your surgery dates? I’ve been really hoping to have surgery in June because school will be out, but I’m not sure what to expect.

I’m self pay, in Virginia, and my doctors office wants me to complete 3 diet visits (my last is in May) What should I expect next? I was hoping then I would move straight into the pre op diet phase and get a surgery date.

I am in Ohio and insurance pay. I was given my surgery date once all my insurance and surgeon requirements were met. I was given a surgery date prior to final insurance approval. Just gets me scheduled on the books I guess

I’m also an ICU nurse and also off for 10 days! I’m only missing 3 days total though due to how I lined it up.

I only work 2 days a week… and we self schedule. So I just figured mine up last night ..If I miss 2 days of work (PTO days). I will have a total of 17 days off before I have to return. That’s doable 😊
