Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My sis had to do room temp or warmer at first. Had to use a couple drops of Mio in her Water. Supposedly, water has a lower tension level when you add Mio or Crystal Lite, so it goes down easier.

Try Gatorade too.

CC and Jen- glad to hear you're doing ok. I still have gas on day 3, but feels little better. No nausea and swallowing getting easier.

Oh yeah- they gave me a patch behind my ear for nausea before the surgery. Might be why my nausea is low.

Are you still in the hospital. I know the gas hurts but, other than that, you seem to be rockin n rollin

Hahaha!!! I'm sorry but that's hilarious. I just mix unflavored with mio or crystal lite in a Blender Bottle. Then add ice. The opening is small so I don't have to smell it. I don't use Unjury. I use my wls clinic's or Herbalife. Herbalife is by the spoonful. Not a scoop.

I've been home since Wed. Night. Still have trapped air in body. Tummy looks like I'm about 4 months along; granted the two hernia repairs probably added to this. Got in 60oz. + last night.

Okay. I'm still loopy so forgive any silly spelling errors.

I made it!!!

This is my fourth surgery in four years and I have never been this loopy and put if it this long. Because of that I only got out of bed four times post op to pee. I haven't really walked yet.

I got to have ice chips and room temp Water immediately, which surprised me. But I haven't had much due to the nausea. Oh boy, the nausea! But thank god I'm having no has pains. I had such awful gas pains with my previous surgeries.

Well, this is make me tired and nauseas so TTFN!

I'm so glad your doing good! Thanks for the progress report. Hope to hear more when your feeling better!

Bree, are they giving you anything for the spasms?

Nope. Doc told me that with my switch to full liquids that they would begin to go away. I started full liquids last night and they really have subsided. Still get one every once in a while but hey, I just had 85% of my stomach removed. It can be expected.

I remember being like that after my gallbladder was removed. Lol. It took over a week for mine to go down. Hang in there n it'll go away. That's an amazing job on getting your Water done! Woot woot!!

Awesome. I learned a little something new with that. It's good that full liquids calm it down.

Mio is the absolute worst thing you can put in your water. Its actually antifreeze and has to be shipped to stores via haz-mat trucks. Chemicals in it are terrible! Just a heads up!

I felt like the Clear Liquids weren't giving my stomach something to do. So when I had some cream of chicken and pudding, I feel like my sleeve was like 'Yes! WORK!' Haha!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
