Is the sleeve safe long term?
Nov25sleeve replied to Cutechiq10's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't do bread since surgery. For me it feels like a sponge goes down a pipe and then expands. -
3 times 10 does not equal 70!
Nov25sleeve replied to Sharon1964's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't get to 80 protein grams without the shakes. -
I would encourage you to track your intake, if you are not already. I've had a great experience and am only 6 days out since surgery, but can easily drink 16 ounces of soup in a half hour. I was thinking mine must have been too big, but when I've tracked calories, I haven't got 1000 any day. And I've lost 8 pounds this week. Keep focused on numbers.

I was only assigned clears for 5 days post op. I started all fluids today. It was wonderful to have the premier shakes and box creamy soups. Are you really supposed to be on all clears that long? I couldn't make it to more than 20 grams of protein a day on all clears, which was not a big deal for 5 days when I was mostly sleeping and medicated.

I was assigned clear fluids for the first 4 days. On day 5 (Monday) I can go to full liquids including cream soups, v8, yogurts and pudding.

Confused hunger and gas?
Nov25sleeve replied to sharleen santana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved Nov 25 so this is post op day 3 for me. I'm on clear liquids until Monday. I have true hunger. Rolling tummy hunger but can only tolerate a few sips at a time. I'm finding broth and beef consommé are much better tolerated than Popsicles and powerade zero and make the hunger go away. Apple juice and white grape juice are going ok too. -
how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?

Mine was just about an hour. I went in at 11 and don't remember anything until 4 pm that afternoon. -
Pre op diet opinions
Nov25sleeve replied to kdelrosso's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Beef consumme and v8 spicy were a nice contrast to the many shakes cream and soups. French onion soup too. I also liked mixing a little sf pudding in my shake with ice in the blender. -

Worried I can't do the pre-op diet!
Nov25sleeve replied to Castillo15's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 3. It's not as bad as I thought. I am gaining confidence too in my ability to do what is required after surgery to avoid muscle loss. Just stay focused. Mindfulness - just taking in the minute in front of you. One day, one second at a time. -

Birth control pills before surgery
Nov25sleeve replied to monica36's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just switched to Nuva ring so that I'm sure to still be covered even if pill swallowing is a problem. -
I'm on day 2. 1200 calories or less. 150 grams carbs. 40 grams of fat max. The creamy box soups, V8 spicy, yogurt, jello and the protein shakes are my main staples. Just make sure I have something every hour or 2. Good luck! I'm too much of a scardy cat to cheat.

My surgery date is Nov 25. I'm a bit scared but excited. I start the 10 day 1000 cal liquid diet Sunday. Any tips or food suggestions?

Pre op liquid diet
Nov25sleeve replied to Nov25sleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today is day 1. I have been completely faithful to my plan. My dietician says 1000-1100 calories, I think because I'm breastfeeding my 13 month old. The v 8 spicy is good and the premier shakes are ok. That, jello and veggie broth at going well. Thanks for the advice. Helps me stay focused. -

It is good to hear that some are planning to go back or did go back to work at 1 week or so. I'm a counselor and adjunct professor and just got offered a cancellation date Nov 25. I would like to be able to go to my last day of class Dec 2 (a week later).
