Starting to feel better!



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone. I'm Adrianne. I'm 48 and had my sleeve procedure done on 1/26/17. When I weighed in on the morning of my surgery, I was 232 lbs. I'm only 4'10," and have been carrying too much weight since puberty! My first night post-op was okay, but the next morning was bad! I had terrible nausea and couldn't keep down even the tiniest sip of fluid! I had to have two kinds of anti-nausea meds administered before I could drink. I had to stay a second night in the hospital until the doc was satisfied at my Fluid intake. I'm much better, now. Only, it's hard to be sipping fluids all day! I have to work on that, because I actually feel very hungry. This is going to be

some adventure!

Hi Adrianne

I like you had a real crappy next day after op. I had massive reflux issues and also stayed extra night in hospital, but Day 2 onwards all went well.

If you can't get any satisfaction out of drinking or sip sip sip

Crushed ice with a little cordial or icy poles have been my godsend

It will help big time

I was sleeved on 01/11/17

3.5 weeks after op and I'm down nearly 50pounds

Good luck with it all ❤️

Just for the record - best decision of my life

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
