Malabsorption Cramping?
alliegb3 replied to Almostthere34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You don't have malabsorption with the sleeve. You should take a multi vitamin everyday, whether you have a full stomach or 1/4 of one. -
The diet should be no carb. Unless there is like 3-4 in the shake. Should be <30 carbs a day. He will feel crappy and hungry and grouchy and drained and testy.... But it's a small price to pay

The Horror Stories *sensitive*
alliegb3 replied to made4more's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

Drinking Before, After And During Meals?
alliegb3 replied to Debvzw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Our bodies were not meant to have drinks with food. But it washes food down, fills you more, doesn't make it last as long. It keeps that dense protein in stomach longer and therefore- you're less hungry longer. Listen to your NUT, not your gut... I know listening to my body got me to 273 lbs -

I was sleeved 5/21 and I find myself hungry. I am on full liquids. Do you think it's just the liquids sliding through? I can drink like 1 c of. Fluids at a time and 1/2 c of soup and I do them every 1- 11-2 hours. It just seems like a lot to me...
