Protein Problems
heatherg17 replied to TheChubbyMermaid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm struggling to get anything in...my sleeve is fine when I try new foods but I'm 4 weeks out & I get 50 of protein, about 20 of water & a taste here or there of pureed food. I generally have a puree of 3 tablespoons a day. I'm just not getting enough of anything. I want EVERYTHING, thanks head hunger...but I just can't do it -

@Mom26 - send prayers her way (for her son)
heatherg17 replied to jane13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My prayers are with you. One month pre op my mom was diagnosed with cancer and dementia. The day of my surgery she was also diagnosed with ALS. It's tough to go through all of this with the surgery but you will, you have to. For now just love him & be strong. I'm so sorry for your bad news -

Any December Sleever's?

. I think it's important to do mechanical eating, you may not be hungry or thirsty but your body needs it -

I make sure not to gulp, just always feel thirsty but popsicles do help. I don't start pureed foods until Tuesday...looking forward to it! -

I had my first visit since Dec 8th surgery. All is going well & I am healing nicely. I too have a hard time getting in all of the fluids but I'm doing the best I can & that's all that you can do. Everyday I take in a little bit more. I'm going to have soup tonight...too excited! ???? keep healthy!! -
What are the first 4 days after surgery like? Any Dos and don’ts…..
heatherg17 replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was in the hospital for 4 days due to dehydration and a really low heart rate. Every day gets better. It has now been 1 week since my surgery. I take pain meds only at night. I'm on liquids for another week. I have a tough time getting in all of the fluids but I'm working on it. I look forward to tomorrow being even better than today! ???? -

I'm still in the hospital. My Dr says I'm not drinking enough but I'm not hungry & its hard to tell when I've had enough. The woman before me had 4 surgeries and she only stayed 1 night. I'm kinda a baby tho too! ???? -
