How are all my new sleevers doin?!



Recommended Posts

I learned my lesson yesterday. . I will not do that anymore until my doctor approves of it.. I have a ? For you when you got out of surgery when did you start taking you Vitamins

My Multivitamin is a capsule, the kind you can open up. So they wanted me to try to dump the contents into my drinkable yogurt a few days out and mix it in, but that was SO GROSS. I just couldn't do it. I was allowed to actually start swallowing the whole capsule at 7 days out, so that was when I was able to actually start taking all three of the Vitamins I was supposed to every day (one with each meal). I had to wait a little longer than that before I could start taking my Calcium, because those are really big horsepills and I was worried I wouldn't be able to handle them, so I started those maybe two weeks out. I'm also on a sublingual B12, which I was obviously able to start taking right away, since it dissolves under the tongue. As for all of my other supplements that I had been taking pre-op, I was allowed to restart them 7 days out, but I just gradually reintroduced them one at a time and I would spread them out throughout the day, instead of trying to take them all at once (I was on garlic, coq10, Vitamin C, and Omega 3). Oh, and my nutritionist also wanted me to start a probiotic, so I started that 7 days out.

I am also on a prescription for birth control and I took that all the way through after discussing it with my surgeon. I didn't miss a single day of it, although on the day of my surgery, I had to wait until after surgery to take it, whereas I usually always take it in the morning.

I'm still on my puréed foods, but there are sometimes it just seems to feel sore, lots of gas I think, but it takes forever to eat small quantities unless it's something very smooth like baby food. Tea and liquids I don't have much problem with either.

Tonight I think I ate one bite too many and had a puke attack or dumping and I just don't know where that sweet spot is yet and many people say that it's too soon to tell since I'm still having nerves come back in my tummy

Honestly I think it was dumping! I got sweaty and nauseous and felt miserable

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
