I'm applying for to be an army cook just wondering does anyone here know of or if it's possible to get into the army if you have had the gastric sleeve?!?

You get to learn the basics of cooking and get payed well you train, I figured I can save up enough to go to culinary school.

Ok so I'm 1 month post op and I am exhausted when I wake I'm tiered lethargic and then I go for my walk sometimes I can fall asleep well walking I'm over it what do I need to do I thought it would pass but everyday I'm so datum tiered I been waking up late this last week because it's so hard to get up and hard to fall a sleep and when I'm ready to go to bed I can't it's a mind fuc

Blerd I try to take my vitamins regularly but most of the time I spew them up when did you start being able to swallow whole pills.

My incisions look fine get about 2-3 litre a day and about 60 grams of protien on a good day

I drink a lot of water, and about a quarter of a cup of anything with protien breakfast lunch and dinner and sometimes a shake in between

Ok just went toilet and it feels like my a ss and stomach just went to war! Every time I would push my belly would fluxuate and I would get a dizzy spell it was the worst thing ever what is going on with my body I think I'm lactose intolerant now I just started taking plenty of protein I don't think my body likes it Help I don't want experience that again poo from hell

Funny thing is I lost 4 pounds after it.

I'm on up and go energise, because opti fast wast making me drowsy and sick, and I was only getting 30 g of protein in a day supposed to be 100g my dietician told me to not worry about sugars or cals just protein also I'm she told me to go on a full fat yoghurt called Chobani because it's high in protein so I don't know if it's either.

I think it was dumping syndrome, since I been on these new protein shakes they are very rich and high in sugar and cals.

Happens to me every morning when I drink protein I feel like fainting and need to lay down and when I stand up feels like I'm on drugs.

I'm literally tiered all the time, even when I get my 7 yo 8 hours I'm still tiered I was driving yesterday and nearly fell asleep I'm 3 weeks out does this ever end?

I drink about 2 to 3 litres a day id rather drink water then protein.

Well I actually blacked out today I was getting changed then I felt myself falling and caught myself on the shelf it was really bizzare

Ok so I seen my dietician and she wants me to start drinking up and go energise since my opti fast is making me sick , and it has over 200 calories in it and I have to have 3 a day, I had 3 today and 3 yoghurts but that's over 1000 calories is this normal what do I do?

Awesome surfer girl thank you and your so right I have stalled, your post was awesome!????

I'm 3 and a bit weeks post op

Any ideas my first day and I'm stumped I don't really want to much carbs and if so only sweet patatoe tips and tricks appreciated ????

For breakfast I had 1 yoghurt then snack opti fast then lunch sweet patatoe and mince purée then another opti fast then for dinner a yoghurt and now having a up and go energised my dietician said they have a lot of protein does this sound normal I feel like I'm eating to much? Oh and 3 pieces of jerky

That sounds delicious!

Thanks everyone, yes I did get a plan of what I could eat but I just can't match the flavour profiles in my head I've never really puréed anything so I'm finding it difficult to come up with things on the spot I'm finding my self super picky and don't really want to make a batch of something if it's not half decent, I really need to start getting my protein in though.

Thanks guys just went to my dietician and I'm supposed to be getting 100g of protein and I'm only getting thirty it is so hard she wants me to eat 3 meals of mushies a day plus 3 opti fast shakes it's kinda impossible I get full off one shake and that takes me like 1 he to drink! She said that's why I'm feeling lethargic I feel it's that and what you guys are saying to I just don't see how I could fit all of that in one day plus protein drinks make me super tiered like fainting tiered.

Haha at Hope I know it's is funny I don't know what made me think I could eat 2 eggs and now I finally felt better and then drank some water and again the golf ball in my throat feeling! I don't think I wanna eat again!

Ok so I officially start puréed foods today, Was so delighted to have scrambled eggs with 10 Mls of skim milk and 2 very small eggs, thing is I ate the whole thing I'm it does feel in comfortable but now painful I know I did overeat will this stretch my stomach and will I gain wait anyone done this before?

I just vomited I am never eating eggs again!
