Patoonces

So, I'm following the plan I'm s upposed to. I don't eat much when I do eat and that equates to not a ton of Protein (to get what the NUT and doc want us to get). So, I s upplement with shakes or unjury Soup but this in turn puts my calories over 800 because easily 200 a pop for 30-50 protein. I'm finding this increasingly frustrating as my NUT said I should have lost more my 2nd-3rd week and I feel hungry most of the time except when I get that weird burpy chest pain thing after eating actual soft or mushy food. I don't want to not get in my protein and not heal my body (today is 3 weeks to the day) and I want to try to keep my hair! Any ideas?

So, I am having trouble finding a Vitamin that has the amount of Iron my NUT wants (I think she wanted me to have like 18mg a day?). Also, a gummy Calcium with magnesium and D, the chewable tablet I got now makes me sick I can't stand the texture or flavor anymore. Thanks.

Woke up in middle of night choking and aspirating on stomach acid. Horrifically painful and disgusting. Is this my future? I'm two weeks out forgot Prilosec one night!

I brought all of that stuff but let me tell you why you may wanna wear gowns provided. When you get up to use restroom it's a bit hard with IV pole so the last thing I wanted to do was fuss with underwear and pants. Then on my last night the hole where my drain came out started leaking and it was gross so glad it was on their gown. Gowns are generous, put one forward and one backward, you will probably not care if you have underwear on or anything else so make it easy on yourself.

My husband and I started drinking unsweetened almond milk. It is very satisfying and creamy and not watery and weird like soy milk, maybe try sometime.

I'm on second week and over week already on purées. I'm hungry a decent amount of the time my friend swears once I'm on normal food I'll be more satiated.

At almost 9 days like clockwork I gt very itchy an rashy. When I say itchy I mean mind bowing not sleeping losin my mind itch!!!! Was not infects but was red and rashy. My wounds were sealed so I got Benedryl spray and not helped for the peak of it that was at worst two days.

I thought maybe a stitch but not a staple that would cause a leak

Will in morning but hoping for someone to know moire tgasn me to say no I didnt lol

15 pounds now I'm so depressed and worried more than I already was

Feel like a quitter a failure. Day 5 on purées and I'm losing my mind. I want to eat, I'm hungry, I want to cheat. I don't need lectures about how I did this need to follow instruction which I am just losing my mind. I feel subtitle restriction and can take in liquids and purées very easily. I'm already sick of protein drinks I all sorts. Having a tough day could use help.

Thanks everyone. I guess a big part of it being gardenia my NUT said I'm only to eat 4 tbls of purée . If it takes me an hour or a minute it just doesn't feel like enough and I'm bored and hungry. Tonight I had an extra like teaspoon of pb before my refried beans. So frustrated

I packed too much. I wore two of their gowns, one forward one backward, my drain leaked my second night so I'd rather have gross stuff on their gowns. My gowns were pretty gross after two days. I never bothered to put on underwear since didnt matter and made it easier in that tiny bathroom with my iv . I used very little. Toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, tablet and phone and chargers. Walking helped with gas more than gasex. They give you swabs for mouth. Keep it simple, don't get gross stuff on your own clothing. Wiped face with wash clothes sometimes for refresher.

I I'm only 9 days or so out and curious when some of you talk about your sleeve not liking certain things exactly what happens. Like celery or broccoli seems to be a problems for some so what would happen when you have this?

So, I have been having all of the right things, broth, Protein drinks, Water, but I seem to be able to tolerate a bit more than the doctor who took my drain out indicated. Is this okay? I have not had one thing not allowed (even though I'm a bit hungry at times) and hope at tomorrows appointment I can start purees. I can take a cup of unjury chicken Soup down in 15 minutes or less. Is this wrong? Is my sleeve not working?

So by getting sick do you mean vomit, pain, or bathroom stuff? I hope the few bites you his mention are my future. I'm on day 9 and the purée phase is leaving me quite hungry

You look amazing

Thanks! I hope you're right

So I felt pretty good fifth and sixth days them all of a sudden I feel blah all over, kind of sickly and sort of tired. Sort of a little nauseous but jus al over yucky, not sure how to describe it.. Is this normal?

9 days post op can not take it tonight losing my mind. Trying to scratch around all of my wounds too crazy

I took One Benedryl and it took the itch from a ten to a 7 for fear of sleeping the whole day away I didn't take two but it probably would have helped

I'm on antacids. The few bites of tuna or whatever just seem to go down so easy I was expecting more suppression maybe it's a good thing I dont know

So, I've just had my third meal on purées and I feel like I had nothing and I'm hungry and I'm getting really depressed. I've been truly hungry the last three days and in so over it!

So last night itch at peak. Areas are red and puffy, my skin is very sensitive. Broke down and called the on call doc today he said try Benedryl so wish me luck

Im doing all of these things that's why I'm getting depressed like my sleeve isn't working
