I have no idea. They said no snacking between meals. If I don't snack or have protein drinks between meals there is no way I can get on enough protein. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I was on pureed food a week ago and was cleared last week to start Proteins as whole but need to chew a ton before swallowing. I'm only supposed to have 4 oz of Protein Drink if I have that as a meal. Also no eating or drinking protein between meals. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I am 4 weeks post surgery and am having difficulties getting in all the recommended Protein. I feel like the only way to get it all in is to drink Protein drinks but then that would all I would be able to get down in a day besides my Water. What is everyone else eating to get in their protein?? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I definitely need to work on getting in more protein. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Wow you sure know your stuff! Thank you for the explanation! It makes sense, wish my Dr would have explained it to me like you just did. Thank you, I appreciate it! Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Yes I have been walking 30 minutes up to an hour at least 5 days a week. And no sugar or carbs, all Protein. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

My first week post op I had lost 16 pounds, I was so excited! Today I had my 3 week post op appointment and I am up 1 pound. What the heck!! How did I not lose weight in 2 weeks and actually gain a pound?! I'm exercising and eating what I should be. Anyone else go through periods like this?

3 years ago I was scheduled to have sleeve surgery. A couple days before I got so much anxiety that I cancelled my surgery. I was a wreck! I ended up dieting and losing 50 pounds on my own, only to gain all that weight back within a year. 3 yrs later here I am 9 days post op and I feel great. I have lost 16 pounds already. So far I am so happy that I went through this. I have had several surgeries in the past and recovery from the sleeve has been the easiest. I feel great, losing weight and not hungry. I never thought I would say that. My only regret is that I didn't have this done 3 yrs ago. Stay strong and positive! You can do this!! Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks, I did call my Dr and talked to a nurse. She said I should make sure I am sipping my fluids and try the gas X which I already am doing. I go in tomorrow for my post op appt so hopefully they can figure it out. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, I think that may be my problem. I will give it try. I have been using the gasX strips but they only work for a short time. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I am 1 week post op and have had the worse has pain in my chest the past 2 days. Is this normal? I had gas pain in the hospital but it went away before I was sent home. Anyone have an idea why this is happening now? I feel like when I burp it feels better but only for a few seconds. It even hurts in my back. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 5 days ago and starting to feel tired. My Dr said I should not start all my Vitamins until I am 2 weeks post op. Is that normal? When did anyone else start there vitamins? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sleeved Aug 30th....1st 3 days were tough! Worst part was shoulder pain due to my drainage tube. Once the tube was pulled out the pain immediately was gone. I already went through some regret in the hospital but now that I am seeing that the scale is moving I feel more positive that this was the right decision for me. My biggest concern is that I can't stop burping. Anytime I drink or eat I have to burp, it's embarrassing! I hope this will go away. My dr only allows broth and Jello the 1st week. I bought some yogurt today and am tempted to try it but I'm just not sure. What is everyone else allowed? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I am 3 days out and my dr gave me a prescription for liquid sucralfate. I am supposed to take it 4 times a day...Yuck! I know several people who have had sleeve surgery and none of them have ever heard of this medication. I'm wondering if anyone else here has to take it. I believe I am only going to have to take it this first month. It's very expensive and nasty tasting. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Best of luck! My surgery is on the 30th. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
