Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery Update



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!!

I did it!! I finally met my Sleevina!!! LOL... She's doing good!!! I have a little gas, but nothing excruciating.. I came home today right before 3 pm.. Trying to get my fluids down.. Can't stand broth right now, so Crystal light and Water...

Still trying to get used to that feeling of having to sip, sip, sip.... The little roadblock that happens when I drink too fast SUCKS!!!

I'm really sleepy and cold.. but, no temp or anything... I did have to leave the hospital w/ some BP meds...my BP wouldn't come down enough for them not to prescribe something.. I think it was the morphine.. which I didn't get a lot of after the first night..

I'll update more in the next few days.. I'm going to take a nap...

CONGRATULATIONS, favoredone!! I had my surgery yesterday, so I have you beat by one day. :-) I'm glad you're feeling well. I haven't had any major problems either. I'm having the same issues you're having with drinking. I discovered that I don't know how to sip. I'll learn ... hopefully sooner rather than later. Continue on your road to recovery!!

Yay Tina! I had to learn how to sip too.. I was a gulper... The time will literally fly by and you will have a hard time remembering this part! Its only a few short weeks and you will be able to eat food in small amounts slowly, but real food. You are doing great!

Congrats girly. I had the same problems as you, hurting when drinking too fast and blood pressure went up after surgery and they prescribed me blood pressure meds. Actually I didnt take the bp meds, I knew it was the surgery and my bp is really good normally. When I went to my 1 week checkup yesterday they my blood pressure was perfect so it wasnt a bad thing that I didnt take them after all. I'm glad you're doing well. Have a happy Holiday.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
