Oct 15Th Sleeve Questions



Recommended Posts

Ok guys, i was sleeved on Oct 15th. I feel like i've been doing ok except for staying hydrated. I used to be a "guzzler" now there is no way that i can do that. So, i'm doing the best i can at staying hydrated. My wife is scheduled to have sleeve procedure on Dec 12th, so i'm kind of at this by myself for the moment. My first dr appointment since surgery was last friday. My dr told me that if i feel like eating "real food", get after it, just don't be stupid, that i cannot hurt what he has done to my stomach at this point. Well i've tried Wendy's chili one day and the margarita chicken from Chillis another day. Both were fine but i feel like i'm sorta jumping the gun here. I guess i'm looking for encouragement or hand slapping if thats the case. I'm just trying to figure all this out. It seems i'm one of the exceptions to recovery to this surgery, i have lost 50 lbs. since the 15th, i started at 390 lbs. i have not been sick or any complications whatsoever. Just feel real tired after doing any activities. I apologize for my long windedness, just concerned. Looking at this forum i don't feel like i'm on the same track as most of you.

      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.

      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!
