Any Nov 15Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

So how are all my Nov 15th pals doing? I'm doing ok but wow am I sore. The gas pain in my sternum has been giving me a hard time and my eyes went blurry for a few days, but other than that I guess I'm doing ok. I can't take the liquid pain medicine, makes me dry heave just thinking about it it takes so bad!! The incident last night literally threw my back out and made 2 of the incisions that weren't sore, sore.

I keep reminding myself of the end result for doing this to myself. Once we get past the next few days, hopefully things will be more normal. food totally repulses me, nothing looks appealing and everything tastes differently. Anyone else have this?

I'm doing good. Pain is at a very normal level just the big incision on my left is painful when I move around a lot. I can eat about 2Tbsp of applesauce it takes me about 40 minutes to do so and I stay full for an hour or two.

I'm not feeling too bad at all. Surgery was about 8:30 Thursday morning, apparently recovery was a little wild but I don't remember any of it. My first memory is talking to my wife about 4:00 that afternoon. A little on and off drowsy the rest of the night. Friday was just tests and then released about 2:00pm.

Slept great Friday night and Saturday felt pretty good. Saturday night though my tummy was really rumbly, some mild diarrhea that is still kind off and on but no real pain or discomfort. Just went to the grocery store with my son for some more sugar free Jello and wasn't a big deal at all. I certainly don't feel perfect but I'm really surprised at how good I feel given what this poor body has been through.

Surgery early friday and felt great til the leak test saturday which triggered vomiting off and on until this morning which also raised my pressure. This morning i must have turned a corner because i feel so much better! I will say that having multiple c-sections and lap surgeries, i was unprepared for the amount of pain. I didnt regret the decision but was beginning to wonder if i made a mistake. I am so thankful to feel better.yay!

I am right there with ya!! I was contemplating for the last 2 days if I made the right decisions. However, there were some girls at the hospital who had came with their friends to have surgery and they had had surgery themselve(I hope you still with me. lol). They told me that feeling was normal and that they went through it as well and that it will pass. They said in like six months I'll forget all about this and be so glad I went through with the surgery.

Anywho, right after surgery was the hardest for me. I felt like hell, and the next day wasn't to much better. However, on my second day post op, I felt so much better! And today I feel pretty good too!! The spot were my drain is kind hurts sometimes like when I get up and the incision were they took my stomach out hurts when I move around to much too. But for the most part I'm feeling pretty good. Good enough to go see "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2". lol, However, I think I have more of a psychological disorder with food because everytime I see people eating good food, I wish that I could. But then I realize how much it will upset my stomach and I think "naw nevermind". lol

Well I hope you all are doing better. Best of luck

How is everyone doing? I am still trying to get all my liquids in, but Proteins are getting much easier. What foods/purees/mushies are you all eating now? Anyone try real food yet?

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

      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! 😞
