Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone - I'm still in the hospital but will be getting out tomorrow ' I can't wait... I was somewhat discouraged about not losing only but a few lbs but Dr & nurse said that b/c I still have air & some swolleness in my stomach & obviously today be'n pumped full of all these liquids has to do w/ only a few lbs weight loss but that next week & there after should be better.. Next Wed I can start soft foods which I look forward to - beyond sick of liquids... They also are giving me anti inflammatory meds for my side & its feeling a bit better... Try'n to stay positive... Thanks for everyone for your prayers... I really appreciate all the support...

I am 6 days out. I'm feeling great still have a little tenderness in my side and one of the smaller incisions under my bra line is irritated. I haven't been able to get my Protein in. I bought Isopure and some other clear Protein solutions and they are all way to sweet!!! Make my stomach turn with one sip. Today I started drinking protein shakes- hope that's not a no no. I haven't been given the ok to move from clear to pure liquids. I have my one week post op appt tomorrow afternoon.

I've been up and active since the day after surgery. On Sunday I went and got my nails done and walked around the dog park for 20 mins. I returned to work on Wednesday. So far so good...

Just really trying to get my Water and protein in daily. That's my struggle at the moment.

Can't wait to hear how the rest of my Sept sleevers are doing. :)

Here are my numbers:

270 week before surgery

261 day of surgery 9/14

267 day after surgery 9/15

Today I was 250.6. 9/20

That's a total of 19.4 lbs

Just had surgery yesterday and having a hard time keeping fluids down. It almost feels like the Fluid is getting stuck and then once it finally goes into the sleeve I feel nauseous. Anyone else felt this way if so how long did it last?

Well I had to go see the dr. today my back is just killing me. She gave me.muscle relaxors and.will take them tonight. I got weighed in and I've lost 10 lbs. I was sleeved one week today.

I think I might be eating to much. Funny and weird but can't tell when I'm full.

Has anyone experience this?

That is great (about the weight loss not the back issue). I only lost 8 lbs the first week and then 3 the 2nd. I was able to start adding in real food today..woohoo. Tuna/egg/chicken salad, cottage cheese, cheese in general and ground turkey. I couldn't tell when i was full either until today. I can eat about 3oz of food at a time and i am SO over the Protein shakes. I am drinking the Isopure zero carb to help with Protein but i refuse to drink the milky ones anymore they are so gross post op anyways.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
