Any February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved Feb 14th I will not weigh myself until I can fill and see a difference. I still can only do 2oz of fluids I get on the bike 3xs a day ten mins a day and put in about 5000 steps. When i go in to see the Dr. If he tells me I have not lost 12 pounds then him and I will revisit what I have been doing.

It's basically the latest version of the Atkins Diet, i.e. low carb. It's a fad diet, and will eventually fall out of favor. There are some Keto recipes that are high Protein and relatively low cal that can fit into a healthy balanced diet. But then there is also the insane part of fad diets, like keto followers having their Starbucks lattes made with heavy cream.

I'm still on liquids, but abut to transition to purees. I've been hungry the last few days and frustrated never feeling full on liquids. I tested out a pureed phase food, roasted sweet potato, and finally had that full feeling. Hallelujah!

Hi all.

I survived! Friday was my sleeve day and today I'm home. The Dr didn't find a hernia after all, so that was good.

The first couple days were rough, but after the pain meds were adjusted, I'm doing much better. I was also able to get in the whole 8 ounces of Protein Drink over about 40 minutes.

I am so glad i never have to do Day 1 ever again. Ugh.

It's good to see so many of us doing wel.

Brief background, all my dieting failed, I loved nutrisystem, but just could stay on it past 6 months.

Now, I am in a pre-op situation. I was to stop the nutrisystem, and eat regular meals. It took a while, but now I am building my own meals. Never spiced or rubbed s chicken before in my life, until now. I can pass fast food joints, even when I am hungry. Grabbing an apple is second nature, and I push for better Fiber count. I actually watch cooking shows for ideas of what I could cook up. Two months, I lost 15 lbs of my starting 394. I haven't felt better. Normally, if I lost 15 lbs, I'd hit a pizza as a "celebration.". No desire for that now, just want to tick off another 2 lbs. My only problem is perhaps not enough vegetables, and need better meal scheduling.

So, I feel like I could keep doing this, and maybe won't need surgery. Or am I falling into a trap?

It's now 10:25 AM on March 2nd.

I was sleeved 28 Feb, only stayed one night at the hospital. I was back in my room and done with surgery by 5 PM... super drowsy. But they got me walking and drinking Water by 10 PM. I puked blood and it was disgusting at around 2 AM, but everything got slightly better after that. I can now drink 2 oz of water every 10 to 15 minutes with only mild discomfort. But wow.. does my midsection HURT. Changing positions, walking, also, my left shoulder was painful all night, I had to take some Tramadol in order to get some sleep. I seem to be doing better but I just want to be up and running. :( I also feel like a disgusting oily mess and my doctor recommended not showering for 5 days after surgery, so I have 3 days left.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
