Bypass vs sleeve?
grindnfool replied to saltykisses's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'd question your doctors capability. I have no idea how the sleeve could be more complicated than the bypass. I chose the sleeve basically because I had no GERD issues and I wanted to keep the same biological food processing methods as before my surgery. In my mind this minimizes complications over my lifetime -
My nutritionist told me 1000-1200 calories for women(60 G protein) and 1200-1400 calories for men(100 G protein). Carbs under 100g was desirable as well.

I drank Powerade zero the first week after surgery and now drink Gatorade G2 from time to time. Should not be a problem to drink Gatorade but need to watch the caloric intake with fluids is my suggestion

grindnfool replied to Jrayeb93's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was at 7 days. Took Miralax during that time -
1) 1000-1200 for women and 1200-1400 for men 2) 60 G protein for women and 100 g for men. 100 g carbs max 3) None 4) No, but am lax on the carb requirement. Couple days a week go over probably

Average 850 calories per day with target of 100g protein/less than 100g carbs. Loving my decision and very hopeful for the future -
Sleeve over RNY what was your reason
grindnfool replied to LiLiTsc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I choose sleeve. Main reason was to keep same digestive process in place and also avoid need for continuous supplements and/or not have to avoid NSAIDs I may need later in life for other reasons -

How long is the hospital stay
grindnfool replied to crawford8903's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stayed 2 nights after sleeve and hiatel hernia repair. Would've went at 1 night but I had issues with vomiting which prompted the extra night. -
So... what is a good amount of calories intake?
grindnfool replied to ShilohD's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My nutritionist recommends 1000-1200 calories for women and 1200-1400 calories for men. 70 grams protein for women and 100 grams for men. Carbs under 100g per day. Thanks and keep up the good work -
I'm now about 18 days post op. I can eat much faster for soups and liquids. A protein shake(11 oz premier) takes less than 10 min, 1/2 can of soup takes 15-20 min. Ivan feel the restriction with a 1 egg cheese omelette. Sometimes I wonder if my sleeve is normal due to fast times for liquid consumption but I guess everyone is different. Thankful everything I've tried is going well.
