sleevin scotty

for those that are stalled, think about how many grams of protein we consume a day. the doc really opened my eyes today, he claimed not enough protien= not enough metabolism!

guess im doin good, surgery was 9/27 weighing 298. todays weight 238, so long 60lbs. i plan to see a bigger drop when i hit the gym in 2 weeks, i only lost under 10 lbs in the past couple weeks.

New concept discovered on how eating with a sleeve feels...Its like sex, with no happy ending. You feel the sensation, but its hard to be satisfied

i am a funtional addictive personality type. i never drank and became violent and it never affective my lifestyle to initiate change other than me thinking i need to slow down. im almost 33 and for the past twelve years i drank at least 6 beers a day and up to 18 with hard booze occationally. right now i can drink about 6 pints of ale if i pace myself to make it fit and i know its gotta be hurting my sleeve. its hard to occomplish a head change so i am excessive.

i feel that way sometimes. the regret comes and goes but i try to keep the thought out of my mind because i know theres no going back. i am 8 weeks post op, i mostly eat hard boiled eggs for protein. chicken and fish too, i live on a lot of tuna. getting tired of the same foods though and i really miss bread. i am 60lbs lost so far, keep posting buddy, hang in there

everyone heals differently, do not blame yourself if it takes longer to recover. i heard 3 weeks is typical but it depends how long the days are. one thing i struggle with is not being able to eat enough and working long hours. its been 4 weeks for me and i just returned to work but its been hell! i feel weak and everything aches. good luck to you guys hope your feeling better.

your not the only guilty one, i havent had mine in a week! also my stomach acid med and the gall bladder one i take 1 time a day. i need to pick it up, i have heard of people getting gall stones for doin that. the type of vitamin i was taking is a liquid one from vitamin world, didnt taste too bad i just ran out.

sorry i have not replied to you guys in forever! i fell into a deep hole of depression, poor me, pity me, all about me... i started taking more pain medicine just to feel a numb or temporary happiness. i think im finally moving past all that now. started work for the 1st time 2 days ago , boy was it rough being on my feet for 14 hours, my whole body ached. im now struggling with getting enough protein down. i dont really care for the shakes and my appetite is low because im tired of the same things. today i took a big leap and decided to eat half a protein burger from in n out. no discomfort few hours after but later in the night i got diarrhea. i dont plan on eating that kind of food i just wanted to feel somewhat normal. the weight is flying off of me but i dont think im eating right, i think i need to come here more often for support.

3ozs? i was told to have 1oz every 15 minutes. the most i have is 1.5 oz in a sitting because thats how much a sugarfree popcicle is.

im sneaking into this stage too but im supposed to wait a couple days im 12 days post op. i cheated today missing food so i put a jack in the box taco in the blender with a hint of beef broth and a taco sauce packet. was yummy but prolly not the healthiest choice.

interesting how all of us have such different things our doctors do/give us. chad i thought it was weird u got a leak test after you were awake. also for drinks all they gave me was water,broth,and diet snapple. been 12 days since surgery, dont fall behind on fluids cause u cant catch up. sip sip sip

sleeved 9/27 289 sw today 268

Im almost 2 weeks post op, and i have been hungry like you too. I only have 1 shake a day but nothing seems to satisfy the hunger much. im not nauseated like you but maybe its because i eat really slow? i use 1oz cups and take my time so i usually dont consume much because it takes so long. yesterday i tried refried beans and they went down ok. greek yogurt with the fruit strained is tasty.

I hope everything goes well, keep us posted as soon as you feel up to it.

hi guys im glad i joined this thread. today is my 11th day post op, and last night i was going so crazy i tried refried beans. i am scared to introduce puree because my surgeon said whole liquids for 2 weeks. i couldnt help being bad i need food! i am not feeling satisfied with the liquids alone and wanted advice on good foods to try for energy. im soooo weak and all i do is fantasize about food i wish i could chew and eat. also staying on time with my fluids is hard every 15 minutes. i fall behind then i cant catch up..

its been a few more days. i still walk to the mailbox down the street but now im getting lightheaded. i am barely getting 64oz in. my protein is low too im only getting about 30-50 from my shake. i feel like if my wife didnt push me id just stop drinking all together. thanks for the support, im feeling down about not getting to eat, and its really tougher than i thought.

Hi, i had my sleeve done last week on thursday. i am very weak. i am finding it a challenge to even get 200 calories in a day. to get your intake of 64 ounces a day you need to drink 1 oz every fifteen minutes for 16 hours. harder than it sounds....if i cant get more fluid down, ill have to get an IV. days are getting challenging i almost need to cry just because i know, theres no going back.
