    7 month update...down 103 lbs

    Congrats on your success so far. Good job. Such great information. I am 3 weeks post op and feeling frustrated already. I hope I can share such great news down the line.

    Hunger...

    Newme69 replied to kelliekell's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    12 days post surgery. I'm not really stomach hungry, I guess I'm head hungry. Still on full liquids. Hoping to skip purée straight to soft. I know how all of you feel.

    @nurse123 my surgery was Dec 5th. I am four days out. I went through the options program, so the phase plans are set out for you. I was worried about the same thing. According to my paperwork, I should be getting in equal to or greater than 48 ounces of liquids this includes protein up to easy 28. Puree does not start until day 15. I set a timer for every 15 minutes, and I am able to drink 2 ounces every 15 minutes, that's 8 Oz's an hour. This is working for me, I started this on day 3 yesterday. I know how you feel. I'm one day behind you.

    Surgery is done, now time to start losing.  How long does it take to start feeling normal.  Still in a lot of pain, but I'm glad the surgery is done.

      Congrats on your surgery! For me, the first 3 days were difficult. I day 4 I felt so much better!

      Take your pain meds, sip as much water as you are able. Are you still in the hospital or home. The advantage of the hospital is you are on an IV giving your water.

      Keep us posted and ask questions. You’re going to love it.

      @ShelbyMoore I'm at home now. I'm trying to get proteins and water in as much as possible. The weird thing is, I can't tell what full is.

      If I started reaching my limit it began to feel real uncomfortable. Plus I remember the dr telling me my stomach can only hold 4 ounces. So I measure, still do, everything to be sure it’s not more than four ounces. The week or so after surgery I was only eating 1-2 ounces at a time. I hope you are feeling a smidgen better. Be sure to rest! Don’t push yourself.

    Newme69 replied to j.sierra05@yahoo.com's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am on my last day of preop diet. I lost 4 lbs 8 oz, notice I didn't say only lost. We need to celebrate the small victories as victories. I was somewhat apprehensive when going in today to weight in, but it all worked out. I scheduled for surgery in the morning. @Jessie_5 I'm sure you will be fine.

    @Frankette thanks so much for the encouragement. Hope all goes well for you. Actually my hunger has decreased, three more days to go. They say that after surgery the hunger hormone is gone, I hope this is true. 😁

    ddhudak...I wish you a speedy recovery from your sleeve. Thank you for the kind words. I actually will be glad when my surgery is over. I am already preparing my family. From now on we will look at food for what it is. We will, for the most part eat to live not livr to eat. And you know what, since my options class with Kaiser, I don' even enjoy food like that anymore.
  21. Newme69
    My surgery is also December 5th. I cheated, but felt guilty. But today is a new day. I will do this, I can do this. Also nervous about post op.

      Wow, great job. Thanks for the advise. I sure would like the recipe for the broth. To be honest, I'm not really feeling this holiday. I'm looking forward to my new beginnings. I hope my experience is similar to yours.

      Thai Inspired Chicken Broth

      • 1 tsp of Better Than Bouilion Roasted Chicken paste (little goes a long way)
      • 2.5 cups of water
      • dash of lime juice (RealLime brand is what I use)
      • 1 tbsp of Huy Fong Chili Garlic Paste (not Sriracha in the tube....it has sugar -- I've attached a photo for reference) - optional
      • 1 small dash of soy sauce (low sodium)
      • 1 dash of garlic powder/onion powder (no salt)
      • 1 scoop of kimchee - strained out after cooking -- also optional

      Try it out and tell me how it goes. You could also do a Thanksgiving inspired chicken broth with some seasonings like Rosemary and Sage. :D

    Anxiously waiting on approval for VSG with Kaiser.  I had my preoop last week.  I thought that was it, however, I still need another approval.

      You need another approval?? I was approved for surgery BEFORE I even took the options class. When I finished the classes the bariatric dept called and scheduled me with one of the surgeons. Two weeks later I met with the surgeon and the surgeon and I picked a date.

      What did they do at your pre-op appt?

    2. Newme69

      Newme69

      Let me know about surgery. Go over pros and con's. And then tell me I have to wait for surgery approval before setting a date.
