3 weeks post op & no protein yet !
LookatmeNow34 replied to Antonia_megan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Antonia, I suffered with the mucus issue and my suggestion is to get something for acid reflux and it should help...Its the acid in your stomach...I had my surgery the same day as you I believe and I AM STRUGGLING with getting fluids etc in...Well I can drink as mush as I like but the food makes me uncomfortable. However energy is extremely low .My doctor said I may be dehydrated a little and also gave me b12 to take weekly. If you are unable to drink ...do popsicles to stay hydrated. I wish you the very best...You must get fluids in and stay healthy...the weightloss is not that important to me...Also u are welcome to text me at 904 -520-0098 -
How many didnt follow the pre opt diet BE HONEST
LookatmeNow34 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone, I AM EXPECTED TO GET SLEEVED ON MONDAY THE 12TH.....I haven't followed the low fat diet my doctor mentioned to the T. I seen him on the 1st he didn't mention anything nor at my pre opt it was no big deal..... Only the liquid the day before....Wondering if I should be overly concerned about it??? However excited to have band removed and become sleeved!!! -
3wks Post Op, food blockage
LookatmeNow34 replied to tamalyn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I believe it has to do with the other procedures you had...I had my surgery the same day and I don't have a problem with bloackage....Can actually eat like normal just much less....Hope you feel better...Stick to liquids until your body say different -
I didn't have a drain...I wonder why some do.....I am 16days out 14lbs down, still weak....Hardly any energy but better than expected....Order Hairfinity ...I'm natural and love my hair...Can not take hair loss

How many didnt follow the pre opt diet BE HONEST
LookatmeNow34 replied to LookatmeNow34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I struggled big time..Slipped a few times and All was well...Not suggesting anyone cheat but the pre opt diet is only to prepare you for the post opt when you wont be able to eat anything.....My doctor allowed food on the 10th day...16 days and counting and it getting easier. I HONESTLY BELIEVE ITS ALL IN THE MIND...Being sleeved does not take away cravings...It just limits your intake... .Wish all the best of Luck -

Please Advise About Eating Solids Too Soon
LookatmeNow34 replied to JoJo22's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I am on my 8th day and per my doctors plan ..I should be on pureeed or minced food for days 10-14 than soft foods....So I think you are fine... People seem to think you will cause major harm if you eat but I rarely think that's the case..Surgeon are aware it will happen being they are dealing with people who are suffering with weight issues lol.,,,NO harm intended ...BEST OF LUCK...I also was banded and had it removed during my VSG surgery.I didn't have good luck with band -

Hope you ladies feel better...I actually got out the house today and eel great for the most part -
YOU ARE HUMAN...no one CAN NOT BE HUNGRY ON CLEAR ......EVER.

i ladies I am back...Read all the comments and let me start of by saying....You are most likely hungry as well but more scared of failure. Luckly I spoke to my doctor today and he approved for me to have creamed purreed foods .... Not sure what everyone else doctor is doing but do what works for you...When your body go from 2k to less than 800 a day you should feel some change ...If not its clearly something wrong. However at the end of the day you will slip some because we are all human and YES I AM 7DAYS OUT .......I WILL NOT COMMENT ON THIS JUDGEMENTAL SITE AGAIN...I WILLL SIMPLE READ AND laugh

Today is my 7th day and I am hungry...I think we are suppose to be hungry ....I nibbled on some solid food today and my stomach cramped like crazy as it does with anything. However hoping I don't mess this up lol
