oh trust me you are so not alone!! I had to change my calcium/vitamin D to one my program is trialing right now because I just couldn't stomach the approved ones!! I am getting somewhere between 0-38 grams of protein in a day I just can't stand the taste - too sweet. Milk is bothering me so I tried soy but I guess that is all flavored so even sweeter. I am working on my last ounces of liquid now.

I am hoping the same thing because I just can't do the protein drinks!! They sit so heavy and are sweet. I get to start some foods Tuesday (chicken, tuna, light cheese, eggs, beans) really looking forward to get more than 100-200 calories in a day.

When did you feel good post op
MeMeMEEE replied to FishingNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein drinks can be powder or ready paid. They need to be whey protein isolate. I am a little confused by everyone taking childrens chewables or gummies as I have been instructed to take only those formulated for bariatric patients (brands I use are Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate). The only things I can take that aren't are after 1 month I can take calcium citrate (citrical is one brand) and my B-12 as long as it is sub-lingual. I am 2 weeks out tomorrow and taking my vitamins since day 5. Drinking my fluids takes all day long and I am scared to start food - will I be able to get my fluids in?? I'm so full with just fluids! -

Very easy, sedentary job
MeMeMEEE replied to ravenjeh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just know you will be very easily tired the first few weeks, I will be 2 weeks tomorrow and still take naps. I am sure this has to do with no calories - if I really push it with yogurt and protein I can get 300 in. My shower and running a few errands uses that easily. Just listen to your body! -
I can't have anything besides yogurt and clear liquids until 2 weeks. Then the only bread sort of item I can have are small healthier crackers like a few wheat thins and those are sparingly. At week 9 I can have flatbread. That is the only mention of bread in my plan.

Telling your children?
MeMeMEEE replied to DallasMomofTwins's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
4 is very young. You can always say mommy had surgery on her tummy to help her eat healthier/better. I probably wouldn't go in to much detail. -
Exhausted and Dizzy?
MeMeMEEE replied to HDubSleevery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I try not to beat myself up about the protein - it takes me all day to get my fluids right now and that is so important. I know I need to find a way to work it in but it makes me not want to drink if I think about the protein. I get some meats Tuesday, really hoping I can tolerate them because I know I need them! -
What site do you use to record your daily diet?
MeMeMEEE replied to DoOver's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use myfitnesspal. What are you having issues with? There are alot of things you can adjust but not always easy to figure out how. -

Things I now know
MeMeMEEE replied to HDubSleevery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Haha sooo true!! And hiccups HURT! -
I've been told no 81 mg asprin or NSAIDS - after a year they will make exception for short stints of NSAIDS if needed. I think it could be that it is so new that they just aren't sure? We are mostly lumped in to RNY in my program at this point.

hiccups are killer! I have these little dainty ones and OMG they are awful!! I drink when I am sitting down no problem then when I stand up I get these hiccups! what the heck! -
I am so glad it is all working out so much better for surgery.

they consider failure losing less than 50% of excess weight. I have heard a few with regain but no true failure.

MeMeMEEE replied to Heatherr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on the 8th, I have lost whatever it says in my ticker ( 7 ish lbs I think) which seems to be pretty slow but I have just been weighing around a week now so pretty good for one week. I will take it! I have been pretty exhausted with so few calories - on a good day I hit 300, highest I've reached protein wise is 38 - it sits so heavy right now. Can't wait till Tuesday to get the OK to eat some meats and eggs and get some protein in that way. I imagine that will help a lot. I did lose 28.6 pre-op and have under 100 to lose now but I am short at 4'11'' so I think might % is probably similar to a lot of others. -
Hi Ladie - I'm not an August 12 but I am hear to tell you the liquids are kind of rough. The problems I am having are it takes all day to get my fluids in and I am very worn out from lack of calories. I can have yogurt without fruit and my protein also but they sit very heavy.

Glad to hear things are going well!

Best of luck tomorrow Beach Baby!!
