March 2015 Sleevers

[Tina Smith Conley 1]

No March sleeves yet? Perhaps everyone is still resting?

Well I'm not a March2015 sleeve but had mine Feb 11, 2015... Today I'm 25 days post op. I feel better every day but the first week was hell. I've had 3 c-sections, knee surgery and gallbladder removed so I thought this would be no sweat. Let me tell you I wouldn't wish the pain on my worst enemy. I also had hiatel hernia repair at the same time so that had something to do with it.

Now that I'm past the pain I'm glad I did it.

Well, I wound up here in ER today. Not sure what's going on yet. But thank God there is no leak.

Good luck kaninag. Hope they figure out what's going in and that you are feeling better soon.

sleeved 3/2 a few issues not due to surgery, found out morphine is not my drug keeps me awake and no help for pain. home wed am doing good. no trouble with liquids or Protein drinks. bp really low 99/64, strange number when you have been on meds for 50 years for high bp. drain was only pain, got plugged and started to spasm, that hurts! gained 11 lbs from surgery gone in 2 days, lost 10 more. no complaints.

Hi, I had my sleeve done March 3rd at 10:30am. Just looking for support and ideas to make this process as good as possible. So far everything has gone as expected. I'm getting in my liquids but having a hard time getting in the Protein. My taste buds must be changing because the sweet Protein shakes are wearing thin. Normally I would love anything sweet but now...yuck. Which I find hilarious. I have ordered some flavorless Protein supplements so next week should be a bit better. I'm not having much pain except getting out of bed in the morning at the incision sites. I will be glad when I don't feel so weak. I hear the first month is the hardest. One week down and 3 more to go!

I was sleeved 3/2. Everything went well, not much pain but did sleep for days. I am struggling with my intake. Got all my Protein yesterday (40g) and most today (35g), but my Fluid intake is low. I feel really hungry but don't want to put anything in my mouth except Water, but the Liquid Protein has been difficult to get down and takes me nearly all day to accomplish. Hoping the full liquid stage is a bit better for me, starts tomorrow after my post-op visit.

Hi all! This is my first post. I was sleeved on March 5th!! I found this site to be a great resource pre-op and am looking forward to the ongoing support post-op! I had some nausea is the hospital on the 6th and was about to be sick but as soon as I got up and walked I felt better and the gas came up. I was walking the floors the first night and it felt great. I came home from hospital on the 7th and have been focused on walking, getting in my Water and 2 Protein Shakes and napping when I am tired. Feeling pretty good!! Much less abdominal pain than I expected! Now if the snow would just melt I get some outside walking in!!

I also struggle with the protein so I try to drink it before Water. I'm

Getting in about 30g a day. Supposed to be at 60.

I've been trying proti Protein Soups. They have 15 grams of Protein per serving. Last night I got very very ill. I think it was gas and nausea but it seemed to be so extreme. I was almost in tears. It was defiantly my WHAT HAVE I DONE MOMENT. I was taking Gas X like candy and forcing myself to burp. It seems like Im having to learn how to burp again. I always sorts hid them before and now "everyone get out of my way". I think the reason I had such a bad day was that I changed my Protein Drink for Premire Protein to GNC. I'm going to try to go back and see if the Premire Proteins want to kill me from the inside. I've heard some different kinds affect people in different ways. Fingers crossed that my gas and nausea stay in manageable levels! Good luck in your surgeries!

Bp was 78/40, hr 140. But everything normalized. They checked me for leaks just in case. No infection, wasn't dehydrated. Got to go home. Feel ok today.
