Looking for Sleeve Buddy for Dec 7th.



Recommended Posts

Can we take our chewable vitamins the day before why we are only the clear liquid diet? Are any of you doing Clear Liquids for 2 days before surgery or just 1 day before?

My doctor only has me doing clear liquids the day before surgery then nothing after 11pm

I was sleeved yesterday. So far the worst has been the gas pain. I walked almost all night, last night. The gas pain is mostly gone. Now to get rid of the muscles cramping in my belly. Doctor says I can go home tomorrow. Woot!

Yes, I had slightly blurred vision but I'm 3 days post-op now and it's back to normal. Having a rough time with the Water requirements, but still trucking along. Was definitely a challenge getting comfortable at home, but still better than being poked at and dragging an IV up and down the hallway doing my laps...good luck with everything!

I am doing pretty good. Sore on my left side. Some chest gas pains. Been very active because the night of my surgery my husband got good poisoning then kidney stones. At one point we shared a room and were both hooked to an iv. Sure was a funny sight. Not fun but have some crazy memories to look back on!!!

Wow fat2phat that's some coincidence lol. Now I'm home the excitement has gone about getting outta hospital and I realise my bed has no support at all.

Glad someone else had the blurred vision (well not glad but u know what I mean) not so worried now.

Here's hoping we all have a less painful day tomorrow girls????????

Thanks for taking care of me. Can't believe I got food poisoning and then kidney stones while in Mexico for your surgery. And had to be rushed back across the border to ER in San Diego because hospital in Mexico was unable to control the kidney stone pain and nausea.

Thankfully you had a great surgery and are doing awesome despite all of my attempts to derail your journey. Lol.

Yes I had one repaired. I was told it is pretty common in people who are obese.

Lol. Yeah overall I am very pleased with my experience in Mexico. They took awesome care of me and 4 days post op I am having an amazing recovery!

Now if you could please pass that stone so we can get started on our new active lifestyle, I would appreciate it. Hehe. ????

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
