Had the sleeve this past Monday.



Recommended Posts

Also sleeved Monday
I feel like fluids I could suck down a solid 4-8 ounces in one shot.
Protein has been a struggle, fills me up incredibly quickly. So I've been cutting down on many of my clears to go full effort on protein.
I get really full and some pain in my stomach (usually short-lived lasts for 1-5 minutes max )
Then I just back off consuming anything for a good 45- hour and try again.
I probably got close to 40g/day of protein the last 2 days, think I'm on track for 60g today which is right where I wanna be

I wish I could say the liquids or Proteins fill me up. Lol..i seem to be able to drink all I want

A couple of things I learned after my surgery on 8/24/17...

Sometimes, the hunger pains aren’t actually from hunger, but from thirst. Make sure you are getting enough Clear Liquids, but take small sips over a period of time, not big swallows. That hurts!

Try to remember, your surgeon removed 80 percent of your stomach through a very small incision, so pain is normal. Really normal. I had more than a few “What the heck was I thinking?” moments for the first few weeks after surgery. Why did I even do this? My recovery was hampered by an extended hospital stay and extreme blood loss resulting in transfusions and major weakness and fatigue.

Also, don’t worry if you can’t get all your food in right away. You’ll be able to eventually. Take baby steps! More important to get your liquid in at first. I’m three months out now and although I get full super quickly, I feel great and am pretty much eating a regular diet. It’s definitely a process.

Good luck, everyone! You’ve got this!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
