February 2021 Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

Finally cleared for surgery on Feb 24th.
Had issue with insurance auth- had to call and get it straightened out.
Had to get a chest X-ray since I had Covid in December
The standard pre -op EKG was abnormal, so I needed a stress echo which was abnormal and then had to have a cardiac catheterization. Finally got clearance after that from the Cardiologist yesterday. Had my pre-op appt with surgeon today to review pre-op diet= 1 week liquids/ day before Clear Liquids. Nervous, but ready.

My surgery was 2 days ago and I’m still having trouble to drink Protein Shakes. I also tried Protein Soup but I didn’t like. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I'm not even attempting Protein Shakes yet. I am all clear liquid so I do have Protein Water and broth but that is the extent of my protein at this point. I don't start protein shakes for another week according to my program.

Which brands of shakes are you using? I am using Unjury and nectar and are fine with both.

So, my Sleeve surgery was 9:45 am on 2/2/2021. Between the pre-op diet that I started 3 days early on 1/23 and this morning, I have lost 9 lbs.! Even having not pooped and holding fluid/swelling, I am down 3.6 lbs since Tuesday, 2/2. I am definitely hopeful that I will finally be able to reach a healthy weight for the first time in decades!! Best of luck to all of you, too!

I’ve been able to get one Protein Shake in and it only took 3 hours. How I’m supposed to get two more in today, I don’t know. If you can’t get the Protein Drinks down, at least be sure you’re getting in enough liquid to stay hydrated. You might try thin out the Protein Shakes with Water. I think I’ll try that next time. Hang in there!

2/12: I’m on day 2 of full liquid diet and I feel horrible (nauseous, shakes, not hungry, weak) will this go away?

Sounds like you need some electrolytes or salt. Do you have Gatorade or broth?

I had a terrible time swallowing the first 3 days after surgery. I used Isopure Protein infusion. It’s like a protein Water and I added a bit of crystal light. Tastes like lemonade. I also do 2 Celebrate shakes a day for Vitamin purposes. I had my sleeve done on 1/27/2021 so I am still on liquids only.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
