Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

No, no GasX for me. Doc doesn't want me taking anything pills, chewables, Vitamins even until I see him at my one week post-op next week. Maybe I am not walking enough. I am walking but not very far in the neighborhood because my incisions hurt so damn bad. I am so craving food today!!!!

they make Gas-X strips that melt in your mouth.. that way you don't have to swallow anything! :)

I'm having a hard time with food, so far I've had a scrambled egg with a little cheese, Tomato Soup, and today went out and got a few different Soups. I'm big into sf Popsicles, yogurt isn't fun for me, I've had sf pudding, but I mostly just do shakes because I'm nervous. My doc said to finely chop some eggs and some fat free mayo for egg salad, I may give it a go tomorrow. But everything just seems uncomfortable for me with food. I plan to try some tuna fish soon too.

I have drank more Water than I ever thought possible... I cannot tolerate ANY of the Protein I have tried.. I ordered egg drop Soup and added a bit of chicken bullion in it to add more flavor... SF popsicles and so far, that's it but yippee... not much if any pain anymore..but GAS? OMG ugh....the more I walk the more I have LOL

mdm you are not missing anything when it comes to the oatmeal and cream of wheat i think its a waste and i should be able to have something else. i follow the phase two letter by letter. i start phase 3 thurs i cant freaking wait 4 wks on liquid is no joke man. i was so tempted today to eat cottege cheese instead of the Soup but i ate the damn soup. i cant stand the milky shakes at all i get so nauseas when i drink them and some go right through me. my necter is taking to long to get here. as for the insicions i put bio oil on anyway all of the stuff they covered them with is gone but it dont help with the itching i tell you that.

today i met a personal trainer the first thing i noticed was his arms so nice. it was like a scene from the movies we started talking and we stood in front of the store for about 3 hrs and still didnt want to leave each other i felt something with him and he did as well but he said he will be professional and wants to take me under his wing and be on my team to get me fit and his gym has a scholorship program that i can get. can you say wow and he is a possible love intrest

Starting to really miss eating food.....had my sleeve 9/18. It is good to read these posts, as I don't feel so abnormal now. Really getting sick of all the Water I have to drink. Damn food commercials on tv don't help. Plus I cooked for my significant other today....had to keep my mouth closed. At least someone in our house had a great meal today.

Newgrandmother - where is that gym? I was told in my options class not to go to a gym for 3 months. Anyone else told that?

I keep reading how people are walking a week after surgery, I'm still in pain

I was told i could go back to the gym next week and resume my normal routine. As women we aren't heavy lifting really so i can go back to doing my weights like i normally do. i cant wait..walking is boring. I was sleeved on 9/5 so its just 3 weeks for me not working out in the gym...3 months seems a tad long?

Any of you guys on the puree stage. What are you eating?

I'm a little confused with the pureed stage and full liquid stage.

I am on full liquids I'm allowed to have:

Yogurt

Cottage cheese

Sf Jello

Sf popsicles

Sf pudding

Sf custard

Pureed and strained Soups.

broth

Either way I've tried some soups like egg drop soup; miso Soup of course without the garnish and creamed.chicken soup and my stomach started hurting.

What are you eating?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
