Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 6/22/17. I did not have a purée stage. I was on Protein Shakes the day after surgery and by day 6 I was on yogurt and apple sauce. By my 2 week post op I was eating ground beef and tuna fish. I haven't had much trouble eating except when I take just one bite too much. I measure everything- sometimes an ounce is enough- like with the ground meat. Still chew everything and wait between bites. Not drinking is the hardest thing for me. I was told to try to take 30 minutes to eat those 2 ounce meals. I don't always take that long. I'd call your dr's office and talk with them. Have you had a post op visit yet?

I had my surgery on the 6/29. I am getting better at drinking fluids, my problem is the pain from the incisions I can't roll at night I can't sneeze it's very painful not to mention the issue of Constipation. I wonder how long the pain from the incisions will get better.
Thank you,

Have you tried milk of magnesia or Miralax for the constipation? That what my doc recommended.
My incisions still hurt occasionally. Pain pills help if it's really bad. Watch for infection though.
I hope you are feeling better soon!

I hope you are feeling better now. Leaks are extremely rare. I know what you mean about blood clots though. I have had a few leg cramps and got really nervous.

Everytime I eat a bite, it gets stuck in my esophagus. I have to wait for it to go down before another bite. It takes almost three minutes between each bite. Should it take this long?

Anyone still have the gurgly tummy? I don't really have indigestion. Just my stomach is constantly gurgling and churning. Is this normal? I take an acid reducer every morning.




Mine gets gurgly whenever eat anything. I'm 6 weeks post op. I'm on Omeprazole which the surgeon said I'll take until 3 mos. But it doesn't bother me just noisy and weird.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
