Sleeved Monday October 20



Recommended Posts

I just had my sleeve on Monday but had to stay in the hospital an extra day due to nausea and vomiting. Today is the first day I was able to eat anything other than ice chips. My tray consist of G2, chicken broth and Jello. 3 sips of each is all I can handle and since it stayed down I'm being discharged shortly. Please tell me it gets better than this. ..

It really does get better.

I know quite a few people have mentioned more extreme nausea and an extra night in the hospital. From what I can remember, 3 sips of G2, chicken broth, and Jello seems like a huge meal to me.

For the first week, I had to drink broth throughout the day because I could only manage to get about 3 or 4 sips down at once, but by week two, I was doing fine and switched to purees (mostly pre packaged organic baby food). That went well and I upgraded to mashed regular foods...black bean burger with cheese, cheese omelet, I even had Perkins southern chicken and biscuits platter (without the biscuits) with scrambled eggs. That lasted me 5 meals. Bought a little hand operated blender and took it everywhere with me for 2 or 3 weeks. Now I'm eight weeks out as of today and feeling great. Can eat anything I want, but don't. I don't crave anything either, which is really nice.

You're only on day 2.5 after MAJOR surgery. You just had a portion of a vital organ removed. Everyone handles surgery and the sleeve differently. Just stick to what your doctor prescribes as your food protocol and you'll be amazed at how fast you feel like you never even had surgery.

Good luck!

Day 1 I have 5 sips of beef broth. I was sipping very little Water. Day 2 I have 6 licks of popsicle and 5 spoons of cream of chicken Soup. Day 3 I had 7 spoons of cream of Tomato and almost 1/3 of yogurt. Almost full cup of water all day. Day 4 I managed to eat a whole Jello. Took 3 hours but I did it. Then bam. Next thing I knew I was feeling "hungry" and had 1/2 cup of soup 2 times. I'm day 7 today and already had 1 cup of shake I made with strawberries, banana and choc whey. I'll have at least 3 cups of soup and mushed up carrots to add to my Soups.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
