MAY 2019 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

mine was on may 1st and i am figuring it out as well. i'm not permitted to have shakes until one week after so i'm just on Clear Liquids. i sip Water constantly but do notice that the broth sits heavier. I can drink about one cup of broth and then feel satisfied (physically, not mentally). I'm sure everyone is different but i can't imaging being able to drink more than 8 oz of broth of Protein Shake before feeling full. But, I'm no expert!

Thanks for your response....

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair as well.

May 1 here. Surgery went well didn’t stay in the hospital long don’t pack much. You will shower at home and wear their hospital stuff. Maybe pack phone charger and phone

I’m home now and walking. Had first bowel movement yesterday what a relief I’m not constipated. I found boost max 30 G Protein in strawberry. Omg heaven

everything is room temp. The Protein Shakes and Water. Can’t sip too fast. My new tummy don’t like that. But I look at my garden and pick and play. Bending is hard and hurts but that’s the only pain make sure before surgery you tell your pharmacist to have your current meds liquid. It will save a lot of yucky taste

be well your going to be great!!

I know how you feel because I was like that last week. I had my surgery Friday. I can tell you there is no reason to stress but you are human and it is a big thing. If it makes you feel better, I worried too ALOT but everything went fine and all is well here. You go in and they give you a sedative. Then you wake up in the recovery room. The recovery room is hard but you don’t really remember it much. Then you won’t be able to get up on your own the first day. Don’t be afraid to call the nurse often. You will need the bathroom often and should walk around the room each time. The next day you can likely walk in the hall. I am going back to work tomorrow. Hopefully it will go well if I take it easy. Good luck to you.

A sedative, aye? I hope it’s enough for my big ass. You’ve only taken 4 days off from work?

        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!!
