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?

      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!!
