Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!

[Kathy812 794]

Thanks everyone just had my last large dinner and feeling so guilty it's all so real now

I can so relate. Had mine last night, felt sick cause I ate so much.Today I'm on my first day of liquids & Struggling a bit. Having some family over tomorrow, which will be difficult to watch everyone eat. One day at a time

My pre op diet is basically just sugar free liquids. I don't have to take a certain number of Protein Drinks. It's weird how every doctor has different rules for the pre op diet. I'm on day 5 right now. The first two days were TERRIBlE. But since then, I've been ok.

I had my sleeve on October 1st. I am so glad to have people to be on this journey with me! I am having some trouble with nausea and difficulty swallowing. I had a hiatal hernia repair and wonder if that is my reason for some of the discomfort. Dr said things will loosen up over time. I sure hope so! So thankful to have this site since I have kept things very private in my "real world"

I was sleeved October 1st in houston, tx. I just got home last night. I'm glad it's done now I'm just wodering when the pain will subside. My doc keeps saying to walk it out.. which i am but i can't seem to pass gas lol. Other than that I'm pretty okay. my husband just went out bought some foods for me to eat and a brand new mattress (tempur pedic) so I can be comfortable. I just really want this pain gone.. Congrats to everyone else out there that's has already been sleeved and to everyone waiting.. im praying that itll be smooth...inshallah:)

Inshallah you will be fine in another day or 2! As for passing gas I never did either as many did via bottom I did however burp a lot the more I walked and I would light tap my chest when felt discomfort (like a baby) and burp also!

May this new journey be easy on you ameen!

Salams and Eid Mubarak

Ok I have surgery on Monday. Very nervous, not exactly sure why. I have read everything there is to read and covered all possibilities. Still nervous. I am sure it is the right decision, and pre surgery diet has been ok. I have not had sweets in almost 4 weeks nor any soda and I have survived, not even tempted. Which I feel is a huge plus I feel. Still scared. I want it to be Monday afternoon already so it is done with. Though I may not be happy then either. Just hoping this is normal. Thank goodness for this sight

I'm in Columbus, Indiana, about an hour north of Louisville. Good luck!

Since my date got moved, I knew i had a few more weeks to eat certain foods i know i will miss. But im trying hard to keep eating the way Im supposed to on my pre op which is under 1200 calories of lean Proteins, veggies, fruit and no artificial sugar or caffeine. So a day for me was like: 2 hard boiled eggs, 1/2 orange, lunch was baked chicken and steamed veggies, snack was string cheese or plain yogurt with berries and stevia, dinner tuna plain on salad with an avacado something like that and then a sugar free pudding before bed. Some days I will throw in a Protein drink instead of lunch or make a blended smoothie with fruit/coconut milk for Breakfast but in the evening I always want to eat more than im supposed to. Even if its veggies...so i drink more Water in between and that helps. I honestly think when we dont feel hungry for a few weeks it will help alot!! Now I have another month of pre-op, hoping to lose another 15 before my date next mont. Best wishes!

[happymama2014 206]

@@happymama2014, in the long run a month is nothing. keep your chin up... that's really great news that it's not cancerous!

Yes I agree, one month is nothing...Except I was so into all my Oct sleever buddies...I also get to have my farewell to a few more things. I want to try more Protein drinks the next few weeks to get more used to a liquid diet. I wish you much success!

Had my surgery oct 1. Also had 2 hernias repaired. So far doing well. Ive been resting a lot and walking the halls. Never felt ao good after burping. Meals the hospital has me on are the standard post op stuff. Jello

broth

Water. Popsicles. Im spendinga 3rd night in the hospital mainly due to precautions as my blood pressure has been rather high. No big deal its a nice hospital. I was told you can begin driving 48 hrs after last pain med. Beeen a long proceas to get to this but im excited for the future.
