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.

      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.

      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! 😞
