Sleeved!

My revision was yesterday. I feel pretty good with very little pain. Not hungry at all just concentrating on drinking so I can go home.

My doctor did say that I had a lot of scarring but said he was able to do the sleeve pretty easily. Now on to recovery!

    I know each surgeon diet requirements are different, but I'm still on Clear liquids only. I had my band removed in May 2014, and was sleeved on Aug 26. It was not as smooth sailing as I had hoped. Ext

Thanks all. It's day 3 and I really am feeling pretty good. Just trying to work on my water and protein shake. I hurt when I go to stand up or sit down once I'm up or down I have virtually no pain.

Day 5 and I'm struggling. No pain at all and no problems drinking but I'm very dizzy and lethargic. Trying some Gatorade per my doc but it's only helping a little. Any suggestions?

Push those fluids, same here. I have to remind myself to sip sip sip, it's so important or you don't want to go bavk to hospital for dehydration

I know each surgeon diet requirements are different, but I'm still on Clear liquids only. I had my band removed in May 2014, and was sleeved on Aug 26. It was not as smooth sailing as I had hoped. Extreme nausea, the barium X-ray drink gave me extreme stomach problems and then I started having a painful back pain so my stay was 4 days instead of 2. However, now that I'm home, I'm feeling better. Super tired, and not hungry at all, but good overall.

I'm still on all clear liquids, but 1/4 cup of broth and a spoonful of sugar free jell-o and I am FULL. Not the painful stuck full like the band, but full like yummy thanksgiving dinner. I have to admit, I'm loving the loss of hunger sensation.

I think the key is keeping gently active, not forcing each new step or milestone and set personal reminders to consistently keep those fluids coming. I know for myself I want this so bad that it's just a matter of keeping our head in the game. Good luck and good thoughts to you!!!
