Hello, New To Site... 6 Days Post Op Band To Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello here from Dallas/ Fort Worth, I was told about this site from a good friend of mine. I'm six days out still very sore and seems to be sharp gas pains anytime I drink more than a few sips.. Normal?? Also, how are you guys getting all the fluids in? Any Vitamins you recommend over others? I was told a chewable multi and b-12 for under tounge... I'm sorry I'm rambling I think cabin fever is surely starting to kick in... Thanks ;)

I live in Dallas. Today is day 5 for me. Just got out of the hospital yesterday. I stayed a little longer because of spasm in the esophagus. Feeling great now.

I like Ungury everything. Their Vitamins and Protein powder.

Today was the first day I could get in all my liquid. And only drank one and a half shake. It was an all day task. Sip sip sip.

I don't go back to work till the first week in December. I don't really know how that will work but will make do somehow.

I feel amazing so I have the tendency to over do. Need to rest more.

Can't wait till I can eat meat!

Wish you the best. T

I'm in Dallas also. Dr Jeffrey Henke did my sleeve a week ago - Wed 11/13. He's in practice with Dr. Joseph Kuhn, who is better known. I haven't had any difficulty getting my Water / Protein in since post op day 2. I'm going back to work tomorrow.

The Vitamins I like are from CelebrateVitamins.com, and the Protein shakes I like best - actually, the only ones I can stand - are Premier Protein chocolate. I actually like them!

Welcome to the group! Everyone has been VERY supportive, and very helpful.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
