Sleeved 11/21 too much fluid intake?
lzucks replied to dreamingofasleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My program wanted 64 oz plus ASAP. It sounds like you’re doing great! -
@Yvonne47 I had a yeast infection about a week post op. Went away after 2 diflucan then I had to take steroids for an elbow injury which caused it to come back. Again took 2 diflucan and I’ve been fine ever since. I think it was the stress of surgery that caused it initially. I’ve been fine since then (about 2 months). Hoping yours resolves soon.

What do you eat in the airport?
lzucks replied to insta_adventurer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Most bigger airports have some sort of gourmet markets now. In Detroit, it’s Plum Market in the Delta terminal. -
What do you eat in the airport?

Yeah I get that. I travel a lot for work so I belong to the Delta Sky Club. They usually have hard boiled eggs... -
I did the home test that I connected myself. Apparently one or more leads were loose so they couldn’t use the results. Had to have an in-lab test next as a result.

lzucks replied to insta_adventurer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yogurt, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, nuts, Rx bars are the things I’ve found in airports that I’ve been able to eat. Hope that helps! -
How many days after surgery did you get your protein in?
lzucks replied to seashellz77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Started getting in 70+ grams Post op day 2. Mostly shakes, some Greek yogurt too. -
Post op day 3- dinnertime meltdown
lzucks replied to Martha88's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is way too soon to be going out to eat. I didn’t go out to eat till I could at least eat soft foods. Too much too soon, I think. It gets easier! -
Unjury chocolate splendor powder. mixed with Fairlife milk

It’s pretty hard to eat much salad at 3 months. I’m at the same stage but was cleared for veggies and fruit at 6 weeks. When I’ve ordered salad out, I get the smallest salad possible with some quality protein on it and focus on eating the protein. Salad dressing is very high calorie so be careful how much you use, if any.

How long dis it take to see your stomach go down
lzucks replied to shany1567's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was still pretty swollen at 2 weeks too. By 3-4 weeks, I started to see a difference in my upper abdomen. It was shrinking. Lower abdomen is slower for me. Sleeved 8/20. 53 lbs down, 62 to go. -
110 cal/container. 15 g protein.

Weight loss in first month
lzucks replied to Sheleybeth's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
18 lbs first month. I lost nothing the week after surgery because I gained so much weight (fluid) in the hospital. -
Siggi’s 0%. Icelandic style yogurt. High protein like Greek, not very sweet. I love it.

Contact your nutritionist. Every pre-op diet is different. I was not allowed to eat chicken. Maybe yours is different.

Feeling hungry 5 months post op
lzucks replied to Suzanna Kobiela's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am 2 1/2 months post sleeve and I feel hungry every 3-4 hours so I eat very small meals on that schedule. It’s working for me. I’ve lost 40 lbs since surgery. -
Hi I was sleeved 8/20. I lost 10 lbs pre-op and 40 post-op. Religiously getting in protein and fluids. Not as religious about exercise (3-4 times/week max). I am happy with my progress. Everyone is different. Hang in there and it will be worth it!

Ricotta bake and lentil soup were 2 of my favorites -
Where do people even shop?!?!?!?
lzucks replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m almost halfway to goal and I’m finding Kohl’s is good for the sizes on the way down. Not pricey. Good selection. No longer need to go to the Plus department—yeah!! -
Is one week off work enough?
lzucks replied to Samantha1324's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I took 2 1/2 weeks off and for the first week back was pretty tired. If I could do it over, I would take 3 weeks. One week doesn’t seem adequate unless you do nothing but work and sleep. -
@MMME have you tried soup? It’s been one of my go-to foods. Easier to get down than solids.
-
Unjury chocolate splendor mixed with Fairlife milk is the only protein shake I can drink post surgery (8/20 sleeve). Had to throw all the others away!
-
I started taking pills in the hospital too. No issues.

Infection prior to surgery?
lzucks replied to mousecat88's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had antibiotics in the OR. I would call your surgeon’s nurse and discuss your concerns. -
When I went for my surgery, I wish I brought/had......?
lzucks replied to DadtoSuperG's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Cell phone and charger was all I needed. Wouldn’t plan to bring any clothes that touch your waist. Those were pretty uncomfortable for about 2 weeks. I went home the next day and showered at home so didn’t need any toiletries. Hospital had toothbrush/paste.
