December 2018 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Well I'm sleeved! Procedure didn't take long at all. You may have some pain from the gas afterwards like I am, and it can sometimes cause nausea. However other than that I'm up and walking about and I started my Clear Liquids today.

Why are you crushing your meds? I went straight to pill form on post-op day 2. Did your surgeon tell you to? (mine said I could take pills just fine)

The dietician and doctor said all of my meds need to be crushed for the first month after surgery otherwise they wouldn’t break down properly.

I’m almost one week post op and every day i feel more like myself! I’m def dealing with head hunger/urge to eat (chew!). But I know that’s mental! Really right now my hardest part is sleep, I am NOT a back sleeper and my back is killing me lately!!! Other then that, I’ve been trying hard to get all my liquids in, it’s hard!!!

Your doing awesome, I totally agree, getting all that liquid in is tough if your not used to drinking all the time. Im still struggling with that aspect two weeks out. I find i often have 32oz left to drink by the end of the day and im sipping Water by my bed just to reach the target... first world problems.

Going for my 2 week check up tomorrow. Also weigh in day is tomorrow for myself so im excited about that. Hopefully the scale is still moving.

Me and @Myhorseisfattoo are on the loser's bench!

Right now I'm focusing on getting as much Water down as I can. I'm just drinking regular water right now because my brain has decided that it sounds "good." I'm burping a little, farting a little (though I do feel like I could go - but any movement baring down is really sore.)

I'm a little scared of drinking too much and hurting my stomach. I also got medication for stomach spasms, but I haven't really experienced that yet? I just am a little overwhelmed by everything.

Hm, my doctor said that as long as the pill is small enough - they want me swallowing the pills whole. But you need to go by your doctor's orders!

Just had mine 12/11/18, 3 days ago, and spent two nights in hospital, got home yesterday. Today I'm feeling pretty good compared to the post-op day #1 with so much nausea. I'm having no trouble getting in my liquids and Protein Drinks, walking around, and using my spirometer. Looking forward to start seeing the numbers on the scale move downward

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
