October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Omg I'm so scared of the liquid diet!!! Everyone in my fam is nervous about Mexico I'm nervous about the liquid diet because of my weight they suggest twice of it. Id think I can do it.... That's the reason y I want this done. If I can do it on my own I wouldn't need surgery... Any advice... Is it clear liquid for two weeks or can I have things like ensure/ slim fast/carnation etc

Best advice I have, as Im on day 8/14 of liquid diet, take each day as its own. Celebrate yesterday's success and focus on today. Each day is its own. Im supr edgy and Iv beggd my nurse for a slice of cucumber, celery, one cashew :) --no way was the answer. U can do it surely if I can.

It's all done!

I was sleeved yesterday but this has been my first chance to post. I feel discomfort not pain, bit nauseated but they keep on top of that with meds. Managing to sip Water, but first few times felt like a golf ball going down and a lot of resistance. Its getting easier, There are defo worse things you can go through- so far so good- keeping everything crossed my recovery continues like this.

Get well soon to everyone who's been sleeved the last few days.

We're doing this!!!!

I'm alive and kicking! Surgery about 19 hours ago and I've already walked a few times and peed :-). The pain is starting to kick in, do not be a "hero", use the meds! No liquids so far, but I asked for a washcloth to keep my mouth hydrated and clean. Heating pad and lip-balm are lifesavers!

Going back to sleep. Thanks for the support octosleevers!

Im on day 6 of my liquid diet and my mouth is sooooooo dry. I drink 2-3 Protein Shakes a day. chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder shake. I add bananas and peanut butter for extra Protein. But know that the reason my mouth is dry is cause of Water. I need to drink alot more. Cant wait til the liquid diet part of all this is over and i can eat actual food again. I think this is the hardest part. My surgery is the 10th and as it gets closer. I get more nervo us. It will be here before i know it.....

I so feel your symptoms..dry mouth and wanting to get back to real good. I'm on day 9 of 15!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
