Hey I have some questions about eating.. I was sleeved on the 30th... I am suppose to eat puréed food 4 to 6 times a day 2 protein shakes and 48 ounces of water... And I'm having a hard time eating and drinking all this...so far today I had 2 ounces of egg beaters 1 protein shake and about 10 ounces of water ... I really am afraid that I will dehydrate... I just don't feel like eating or drinking... My starting weight was 278 now I'm 254. I also don't want to hit a plateau either
-
Hey I got my sleeve on Tuesday the thirtieth...I was so nervous but after when I was in recovery they gave me nausea meds and pain meds so I was not in pain at all so for a few hours went so fast... When I got to my room I took the medicine they gave me couldn't drink anything which was not as bad as I thought because I didn't even want to drink... The next day Wednesday I left with some liquid Percocet and I take that and do a lot of walking... The pain is also not like I expected the gas pain does hurt but t is not a constant pain and my back and stomach is just really sore nothing major.
-

-

Today just has been mouth swabs

-
Hey my surgery is April 30th... I started my pre op diet on 4/17... And tomorrow I only can drink clear liquids...so that sucks but my diet consist of 3 protein shakes a day and 6 servings of like cream soup pudding salad that's pretty much it...the day of sucked because I went straight into to eating whatever to eating nothing....but the protein shakes fill you up... Sometimes I forget to eat or am not hungry which I never thought that would happen!!! Two weeks may seem like forever when you have to be on this kind of diet and my surgery is Tuesday it flew by now I'm nervous for the surgery!!!
-
Yea I want to be prepared my surgery Is April 30th I have stuck to mine I do want real food but it passes free I drink a shake or eat some soup
-
Thanks melodymouse I have lost 10 pounds so far! Not really getting hungry which is good my surgery date is getting close
-
So I am on my two week pre op diet...and I have not cheated once and I'm on day 8...I have to drink 3 protein drinks a day along with cream of chicken sugar free pudding etc.... So the directions for the protein shake says 1 scoop per 8 ounces... And I just realized a scoop is only a half of a scoop... I was wondering if anyone else has done that and what they think my surgery is April 30th and I have been through hell for a year with this and would be really sad if they wouldn't do surgery because of this.
-
Thanks Whitney that makes me feel better!!! My surgery is April 30th... I'm nervous!!!
-
Aww thank you!!! I'm glad I posted on here!!!
-
For two weeks I do protein shakes cream of chicken pudding salad and oatmeal The night before surgery which will be the 29th I go to clear liquids only
-
For me it has not been that bad I can drink 3 protein shakes sugar free pudding cream of chicken soup salad.... At first it sucked but now I don't even get hungry... But every now and again I wanna bit of some good food
-
So you are saying the scoop in the container that it came with i fill it all the way I'm not sure what I did it just seemed like a lot.. I took a measuring cup and measured it in it was 3 ounces
-
