Recommended Posts

Sleeved on the 29th...Not having a problem getting the Protein i the Water is not working well...I'm only gettin in about 32oz. I'm still having a little pain at the main incision site. I tried an oz of cream of chicken Soup today and it was terrible and salty!...I tried cootage cheese with applesauce and it was terrible. I bought some sugar free pudding going to try an oz of that later when I take my meds. I stll haven't pooped yet....how long do that usually take?

Man you guys sound like your doing great.. I was 3/22 and I still can't get all my Water in. That's all my dr cares about but I am terribly hungry a few times a day so I do get in a little Protein or a Popscicle to stop the hunger. Im worn out and exshausted. All I do is sleep and drink Water :(

I had a revision done on the 29th. From band to sleeve. So far I can tolerate almost anything. Except today I tried some watered down hummus and felt terribly sick after. That was the 1st real time I've had any nausea, or thought I might throw up. I'm terrified of vomitting, and rupturing a suture. I'm still struggling to get all my Water in. But so far, I've had blended Beans, oatmeal, avocado w/ plain Greek yogurt, and Protein shakes. Everything is blended super fine. Maybe the hummus was too thick still, or too heavy. Activity wise, I can walk around stores and the mall, but have to take it very slow, or I'll feel faint. I have a lot of head hunger, and feel like I need to chew things. Luckily, I haven't had much gas pains, walking seems to help.

I was sleeved on tuesday, 29th and I am still very sore. When I drink anything, I feel it go down and right at the bottom of my sternum I get this pain that makes my back arch. I invasion it's the drink entering my stomach, but I really don't know that for sure... happens with small sips... anyone else experience this???

That happens to me too. It's been better today but the first two days it was real painful. Kind of like a lump in your chest.

I've noticed also it hurts drinking really cold or really hot things. Room temperature is the only thing I can get down. Which is odd because I used to hate anything room temperature and would need everything ice cold pre op. If your drinking cold stuff that may be the reason for the pain

Getting my Water and Protein in is the hardest for me. I'm 6 days out and today I was able to walk around a lake near my house which was almost 3 miles, the other day I walked around the entire zoo. I was uncomfortable at times but I was able to push through it. Today, is the best I've felt; not feeling light headed anymore. I was having some pain around my largest incision, mainly when I was sitting in the car driving. But when I am standing, I feel nothing. I also found room temperature stuff works best for me. I get tummy aches when I drink anything too cold or too hot which is super weird because I usually refuse to drink anything without ice or super cold. One day at a time is what I keep telling myself. I'm trying to avoid getting on the scale but it's hard not to. I was at 196 on surgery day and today I'm at 187. Woohoo!!

Today finally turned the corner. I was able to do a decent long walk, even clean up a little. Still some healing needed but today I felt like I was moving forward not back. YAY!!!!

I had my surgery on the 30th of March and I think I'm doing pretty well. I stopped taking pain medication on the morning of the 1st and have felt little discomfort. I'm getting my fluids and my Protein in but still waiting for my first bowel movement. I am missing solid foods but feeling very full with what I am taking him. I wish you all a wonderful journey

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
