Pre sleeved I LOVED chicken. POST sleeved I can't tolerate it. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Like i have to forced myself Not to throw up. White meat Dark meat it doesn't matter. Even super moist and blended. Sucks. I need to figure out what I can do. I can't don't shrimp either. Just fish which I was never fond of. I am just gonna have to force myself to love it.

I did the same thing 2 weeks ago. Refusing to eat/drink. I have to force myself. Barely ate anything in 2 days. I decided that I might as well eat what my sleeve can take. Keeping in mind protein first. But my body is nauseous at the thought of protein shakes. So I had 2 meatballs one day and 3 bites of thin crust/meaty pizza today. Not the best choices but something rather than nothing. Anyone else has gone through this? Last time I did it only lasted 2-3 days then I was back on my shakes. Forcing liquids as well

214lbs today

Hey everyone. I am on the soft foods/ purée stage. Any suggestions on foods? What do you guys normally at this stage? I have some moist chicken the other night, did I go overboard?

Ok so I am 5 1/2 weeks post op. tonight at work ( I am a nurse) I had a very difficult patient who pulled out everything and anything and peed on me. Basically a really bad night. I didn't get to eat for almost 12 hrs let alone sit down. During the end of my shift I went into the kitchen area and there was big plate of chocolate chip cookies someone baked and brought in. I automatically grabbed one and stuffed it in face. Half way through my cookie I stopped myself and threw it away. I feel ashamed I let my emotions/ stress get to me where I shoved a cookie in my mouth like that. Sad part is that I didn't get the awful sick feeling people talk about when they eat high sugared food ( wish I did so I would NOT be tempted to be bad) I guess I am stressed, tired and wanting to vent. Hope I didn't ruin everything

Thanks guys :-) Yea for some reason the hospital I work at has a no water bottle at nurses station rule. I don't know why, it's the only place that I have worked at that has this rule. Hope ur situation gets better :-)

My NUT told me today 1200 calories and I am 5weeks out. I looked at her like she was crazy! I can only do around 500 calories tops!

Ok I am embarrassed to asked this but I must cause I hate calling my doctor all this time. So prior to my sleeve 2/8 (post op week 3) yay! I had suffered from constipation. I would take these herbal pill and I would go, problem solved. But now my doctor recommeded I take Metamucil (which I have been everyday) and guess what I am still constipated. I can feel it and I hate it. Does anyone else have this problem? If so any recommendations?

I had been wondering about calories as Well. I can only tolerate 400-600 a day. I am 5 weeks out. I see my doctor and nutritionist this week and they better have enough time for me cause I have tons of questions. Lol

Hey ladies. So aunt flow arrive but one with spotting. I thought she would really visit and stay for the week but guess she stayed only for weekend. My GYN called me today and I am to go for a US at 230pm. Has this happened to anyone?

The past two days I haven't want to eat anything at all. I did have some banana yesterday and it went down horribly. But I haven't want to drink my protein shakes etc... Been forcing myself really to keep on top of my nutrition. Is this normal at some point?

So the only thing besides 1 bottle of water and 1 protein shake I can tolerate today is crackers. Now this makes me nervous cause I don't want to derail

Thanks guys. Drinking fluids and Popsicles :-/

I have been like this since I Went back to work 3 days ago. I work night shift, so I am sure it's messed up my eating schedule. I just forced myself to drink a shake but very slowly cause I feel nausea just thinking I have to drink it. I had a Little urine out put this morning and that's about it. Gonna try some water now.

Amazing!!

Ok so I am waiting to hear back from my NUT about this question. Now my doctor said I could start working out. I have a trainer and all. My question is. Besides the require fluid and protein we are to ingest daily. I know I calculate around 450-500 calories per day. Now with working out do we have to eat a little more or keep it as is?? Cause if for example I eat 500 calories a day and work out 300 then all my body is taking in around 200. Or am I all wrong. Someone please guide me on this

Oh man had a piece of banana. Pouch hates it and now I am paying for it. What the heck is the foam all about??

Wow. Comments and people like this make me not want to visit this site. Don't we have moderators?

I try and hold it, cause I hate throwing up. But I have come really close.

Agree with everyone. This operation is a weight loss tool, not magic. This is a website for support and to share our experiences. We also have to put effort and follow a new way of living which includes eating healthy.

Hey everyone. Tomorrow I will be one month post op. I have a question for you all. On your biggest incision. Did you all have some drainage coming out at almost 4wks out? It started last night and this morning I noticed it stained my white shirt. It's not thick. It's yellowish in color. I still have a scab as well.

I worked out on Monday and I was totally fine. Worked out this morning and my sugar dropped. I felt horrible. I am gonna have to up my calories a bit on workout days for sure. Thanks for your advice

Thanks. I will try some fish tonight :-)

I have been wondering the same thing. Interested in the replies.
