Nov 2013 Sleevers Progress So Far...



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 11/21, spent 2 nights in hospital. Never really had much pain, but when I get up from sitting down, I feel as if I'm carrying a bowling ball. Everything has been going down fine except for today, if anything is too cold, I get like a heartburn feeling. Including preop diet, I'm down 16 pounds!

I have had times of regret too. So dont think your alone! Even though I can eat n drink fine, I still have doubts and regrets. Maybe your one of the people whos bodies take a bit longer to heal. Just try n keep ur head up through the hard times. I wish u the best!

I'm trying but my husband keeps pushing Protein on me and all I want is Water or anything to keep me hydrated. I just can't seem to take in the Isopure.< /p>

I had surgery on 11/18 spent a day and a half in the hospital. I had no real pain just mild discomfort, I couldn't take pain medicine cause it made me gag. Fluids went down fine and now I'm on soft foods. I started at 413 at weigh in and now I'm 384.

Yeah I was surprised this was my first time in the hospital and first surgery and I was expecting the worst but it turned out really well. I actually had the surgery the same time as my mom and she has had a really good recovery too.

hey girl! I'm with you in the weight loss. I've lost 16 lbs and it seems to keep going up and down the same 4-5 lbs. getting soooo frustrated! I'm sorry we are in the same boat but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Especially when you see how much others have lost in the first month. But I guess it's too late to turn back now!

Yup! Same here! Sleeved Nov 4Th and down 15 lbs from surgery date 34 lbs total from pre-op diet. I think I hit the" three week platue" didn't loss anything this last week till today, 2 lbs. I know exactly how you both feel. Well good luck on the month of December.

I was sleeved on 11/20. Spent five nights in the hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis, in the ICU. Am ten days out, am eating pureed food, have from the start. Blood sugars are insanely low, off three meds, hope to be off a few more soon. I eat three meals a day of pureed Protein, two cups of milk, 64 ounces of Water. My tummy looks like a war zone and I still have pain from incisions. Up and about and have incredible energy now!!! Best decision EVER!!

I was sleeved on the 26th. I get some fairly painful cramps when I sip on any liquid, but I've read that will pass soon. I'm able to drink enough liquid and get my 60-80 grams of Protein. Can't wait for purée stage so I can mix in some flavor to the diet. So far down 26 lbs since preop diet started.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
