anyone getting sleeved in DECEMBER?

[Susan909 52]

I researched the heck out of the sleeve surgery... Risks ect..... Talked to my surgeon at length about the risks. He convinced me they are very small. He said the biggest risk was developing a DVT ( blood clot) after.

He said they would give me blood thinners before surgery. The benefits FAR out weigh the risks. Believe that you're going to be just fine and you will be.

I had my sleeve done 12/18!!! Now I'm just trying to focus on protien and Fluid intake. It's a bit overwhelming. It's hard when I'm not hungry at all!

[Susan909 52]

Keep it up. You need the fluids and protein.....

Thanks susan909 I found drinking from a water bottle doesn't cause as much discomfort or gas as drinking from a cup so I have been able to really increase fluids today

That's great . Spoons were tough for me to use at first, got to much air in. I'm at the puréed stage now. It's going pretty well. More options anyway.

Had my surgery on December 10, was in the hospital seven days. Was very sick most of December, getting better each day. I still cannot eat as i get very sick. I just drink my Protein shakes and Water. I am trying very hard to introduce foods but i just cant seem to keep it down. Am i the only one who has had this much trouble?
