6 days post op and my sleeve HATES cold stuff :(



Recommended Posts

Anyone experience this? If so, how long will it last. I DO NOT see me drinking a room temp Protein shake tomorrow....I REALLY wanted that sugar free fudgesicle. I'm on Nexium and Levsin (for spasms). BTW I'm OVER the whole clear liquid thing. Yes I'm whining but its where I am right now. My kids had the most delicious smelling meatballs with brown gravy and mashed potatos. I can't have the meatballs til week 5 :( Sorry for the pity party...Just not having a very good day.

Plus side I'm down 10lbs since surgery on the 16th!

Yes. Its mostly Water for me. I could drink a cold Protein Drink when allowed it after 10 days but now a year out still drink water at room temperature. I did well with hot herb tea and broth early out. It will get better. It's hard for me now to remember how hard it was just after surgery - boring more than anything

My sleeve isn't sensitive to anything, but I get low blood sugar VERY suddenly I am finding. I have to sip pretty regularly all day long to keep from getting some very unpleasant symptoms. I have had enough of thin liquids myself, but still have two weeks to go. At least the weight is coming off.

yes- cold in hosp. was bad...

warm is perfect-

I do add ice to my shake but only a few cubes.

I still pull Water from refrigerator and let it sit on counter to warm.

it feels as if thing will be back to normal soon.

I couldn't do cold at first but around day 9 it got better. I started that evening with a slushie then slowly started to add colder Protein Drinks during the mornings.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
