June Sleevers!

Work2bskinny: I do apologize for the late response. This is my first time ever on any type of forum and I am just seeing your question. I pray all went well with your surgery and that you are ready for the change. Anyway my surgeon required this device to prevent clotting. It was placed in the groin area and it will remain there for 6 months. Again, I apologize for the late reply.

Hi June Friends! I had the Sleeve on Tuesday the 16th and in general am feeling good. I am not saying that it is easy when my family is BBQing outside or having pizza and caesar salad! I am finding some peace in staying out of the kitchen, not going to the grocery store etc. I have zofran for nausea, oxycodone for pain, omprizole for acid, and will take ursodial in another week for keeping gall stones away. I don't take the pain or nausea pills very often...ocassionally I overdo and then they come in handy. My main reason to do the surgery was to relieve stress on my feet and ankles as I am pretty immobilized...I am impressed that I am moving better and almost without thinking about it...like a normal person! I started at 244 when I checked into hospital...and came home weighing 254 due to IV's...I am now 230 and feeling like the worst is behind me. The incisions are pretty well healed and I am hoping to be able to get in the pool soon...not sure how healed I have to be! Would love to chat with anyone else who is on my timetable or has advice. I go to two different hospital support groups and had the surgery in Portland Or.

I had my surgery on the 16th also. It was originally scheduled on the 23rd but there was a cancellation and I got bumped up. I am struggling to get in my Protein and Water but each day gets better. I usually have pain when I wake up in the morning and at the end of the day. I still struggle with a general feeling of being uncomfortable and I'm still trying to figure out my body's signals. I do a good job of moving around and walking. I would consider today a good day 60+ grams of protein and 1.5 liter of water. I definitely need a support group.

I was sleeved on the 8th and I have been mostly pain free just hungry! I can have eggs Wednesday and I can't wait! Hope you all are getting better everyday too!

I get hungry too. Lots of people post here that they never feel hungry but I definitely do. I don't have any cravings though which is nice. Funny but I'm most excited about eggs too. I was sleeved on the 15th

I get hungry too, but I feel its my body just craving nourishment. Once I've had something, even a Protein Shake, I feel better. I am most excited about meat !

Things are going pretty well for me. I was sleeved on June 17th and have been active since then. I am still on modified liquid diet.

I am dealing with the emotions as well. I am a day ahead of you, and am on soft food right now. Right now my hubby is eating pizza and I am having chicken. The naps are becoming less and less, but I think my Vitamins have a hand in that. Once we get to exercise, it should boost our energy as well. It is getting easier for sure!

I am down 50lbs today with my pre op and post op combined. Total of 26lbs post op. Really, it is going to get easier, and we need to make the forever changes now.

Keep up the good work!

" I am hoping to be able to get in the pool soon...not sure how healed I have to be! "

My surgeon says two weeks - I feel your pain! I have arthritis in my ankles and feet, so I am looking forward to getting back in the pool…and the hot tub!

my surgery was June 23rd, getting staples out on July 1st. Doc said pool was fine after staples out and may even help, but no beach or lake Water
