Ok thanks guys! It's been so tough this past week getting anything down! It takes forever for me to drink or eat anything and I get full SO fast. Guess that was the whole point , huh? -

Home from Surgery! Finally post op!
TropicalGirl1205 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi all! I was sleeved Friday 2/22 and was discharged from hospital today. It's been a rough couple of days. Although the pain is much better now, all you sleevers must prepare yourself for pain. You will be full of gas and be very sore. It is not comfortable at all trying to sleep! Everyone reacts differently from surgery. Unfortunately I was very nauseous and was throwing up the first day. It was hard to hold Down jello or tea or anything! I did not really take much morphine due to the nauseousness however I did get relief from different meds! The first 2 days are the worst! Just waiting for my post op drs appt on Thursday! -
1st week pre op diet success !
TropicalGirl1205 replied to TropicalGirl1205's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It probably doesn't matter if u have the shakes pre op, they just wanted me to so I will be prepared for post op. they do want me to continue the protein shakes for awhile though. It's a protein isolate, not concentrate. I was told Protein heals, plus it keeps you full without the fat and sugar from carbohydrates -
1st week pre op diet success !
TropicalGirl1205 replied to TropicalGirl1205's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It's not silly, but no need for all liquids! Low carb low sugar is the way to go. Make sure you have at least 2 shakes a day. I have oatmeal with my breakfast shake, veggies with my lunch shake, lowfat Greek yogurt as a snack and grilled chicken and veggies for dinner. Sugar free ice pops and sugar free pudding unlimited basically -
Anyone getting sleeved February 22nd??

I am dying on the pre op diet! I am getting sleeved on the 22nd and have to do the pre op diet for 2 weeks. I've been having protein shake and oatmeal for breakfast, shake and raw veggies for lunch and grilled chicken and Lots of veggies for dinner. For a snack nonfat Greek yogurt or sugar free pudding or jello. I'm still hungry though! What had everyone else been having on their pre op?!
