I wish i could get anything down I'm 3 weeks out and all I can do is take a few bites of pureed meat and I'm full

Obviously how one feels after surgery is different for everybody. I was lucky' date=' not too much pain just some discomfort, I was walking around the same afternoon. The gas pains are annoying but they go away fairly soon.

I had a specific plan to follow for the re-introduction of foods. One thing will remain the same, try to get in at least 64 oz of liquids every day and 60-80 grams of Protein.

Most people start with a couple of days of Clear Liquids, Isopure for Protein (you can buy it at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC) Decaf coffee and decaf tea, all sugar free non-carbonated drinks, chicken, beef or vegetable broth, SF Jello and SF popsicles.....after that full liquids including regular protein shakes, creamy Soups, thinned out hot Cereal, thinned out yogurt, SF puddings, Jello.< /p>

After 2 weeks, move to pureed or mushy foods, hot cereals, softly scrambled eggs, soups, softly cooked meats and veggies (think crockpot meals) yogurt, cottage cheese with fruit, refried Beans with melted cheese, chili Beans, mashed potatoes with canned chicken and gravy, tuna and any soft fish, stuff like that. At this stage of the diet, I was still drinking 2 Protein Shakes to meet my daily goals and lots of decaf hot and iced tea.

At 4-6 weeks start introducing more solids, start slowly and see how you tolerate foods, move toward being able to get in at least 4 oz of a solid protein, then a non-starch veggie...try and stay away from carbs for the most part, if you do eat carbs have whole grains if possible.

At 6 months out I can eat most things but not very much of them. I do still drink a protein shake each day, and sometimes a Protein Bar as a snack.< /p>

I was not hungry after surgery and it took a while to normalize and feel hunger come back, but not with a vengeance, and you get full so fast. I have 2 hiccups when I am full and that has happened since I had this surgery. A lot of people get these little burps/hiccups that signal fullness, or a runny nose, it's weird, but a good signal from the body.

I feel normal, just that I can only eat very small meals, but you have to eat right to keep losing weight and exercising. That has to continue ...so be prepared, the sleeve is a tool, but you still have to make the right choices.

I am so happy with my sleeve...down to a size 14 from a 3X-4X and I can walk for miles, and none of my old clothes fit, they are tent size on me....this is the best decision I ever made for myself.

Good luck !!!![/quote']
