Any May sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Thank you all! I'm having quite a bit of pain in one of my stab sites. Makes it difficult to bend or get comfy in bed. Nausea had been the worst and they have given me several drugs to combat that<br> Never be afraid to ask. He found a hernia once he got in which didn't show up on the upper gi. I'm feeling much better today and I hope to feel even better tomorrow.

Hey ladybug, I feel exactly the same way! My incision sites are sore and sleeping is the worst! I'm on day 5 and getting my obnoxious drain removed today. Hope you feel better, let's keep in touch!

Today is my first day home, my sleeve was done 2 days ago. I had a lot of nausea in the hospital, but feeling ok now. I'm having a lot of pain on my right side when I lay down or try to get up. It's been hard getting in all of my liquids.

I also has my surgery this week - Wednesday to be exact. I'm having terrible pain on my right side. Not even where my incisions are, but where I imagine my sleeve is. Today I was able to get down one ensure drink and 3 sugar free Popsicles. It's hard to go to the bathroom and wipe and its hard to sit down, get up and lay down. I feel like it's going to be forever until I feel better!!!

It will get better. I was sleeved on May 1st. I slept in the living room chair for over a week! I still have to sleep propped up and can only lay in my left side. The liquids, the Protein, and the Vitamins your surgeon requires are so important. I always feel better when I'm meeting the goals. As soon as I don't I start to feel bad. It does get better, hang in there. Think of the goal, not the crappy moment you're in. Good luck!!

You guys all sound like me! Last night I FINALLY slept somewhat after having my drain removed, which was driving me nuts. But I still have pain in all my incision sites (especially my belly button!), I have a hard time sleeping, sometimes the liquids go down great and other times every single sip is painful. They say once you hit 8 days, it gets better. Here's hoping! Anyone else getting a little sick of protein/nutritional supplement/juice? Or is it just me? ????

My first reaction was what the heck did I do??? But today I walked in my yard, did 5 minutes of work drank Isopure grape ( not bad) and no pain meds. Gas x definitely helped.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
