My docter wants me to be on liquids for another 2 weeks my sleeve surgery was may 31st. The taste of protein drinks i just cant doo anymore. Id rather starve litterally. I added in protein yogurt today which wasnt that bad but can some one explain explain why liquids for so long? Doc says its too retrain your brain to dominate your hunger sensation........ thats why iam on liquids so long. It doesnt make sence to me. If my body is in starvation mode cuz i want to cry and starve than drink another protein shake wouldnt it be best to add it other puree protein to help me be more active in life than weak and tired. I dont think waiting 2 weeks is going to change this brain training will it. Does anyone understand this ???

My docter wanted me to be proped up with pillows or in a recliner for 5days then on the 6th day i was able to sleep on my side with a pillow between my leggs

I feel like i should just add in pureed protein like chicken or eggs on my own and not listen to the T my docters instructions..

They said 4 weeks of liquids, then 2months of pureed food then on 4th month soft food. I asked the surgeon today and thats when they said well u have 2 more weeks of liquids. But in 6days or so if i wanna call back theyll put me on pureed food early. They said liquid stage is to retrain ur brain to be dominate over hunger. But if they will pit me on liquids in 6days how is 6days going to change anything in my brain.

I had my sleeve done may 31st 2019. My surgeons office isnt the best with giving information unless i ask them. I emailed them asking how much excercise am i supposed to be doing right now? Im in liquid stage still. They said excercise is always good but remember u just had surgery so baby steps. What does that mean?? I like directions and that wasnt what i was hopeing for. Am i supposed to be walking everyday for 30mins or an hour? Am i supposed to be jogging i just dont know what will help my weight loss. I have been the same weight for 3 days now and not exercising until my docter said it is always good so wondering how much?? I dont think getting a gym membership at this point is good right? I guess i thought the first month was healing time so i didnt need to do anything???? Someone know whats best???? Thanks

I slept in my regular bed but with about 8 pillows behind me and next to me to prop me up and my arms as well. Worked nicely

How many calories am i supposed to be consuming. My socter didnt say. I hate protein drinks with a passion so i only have 1 a day thats like 150calories and then the rest of the time is broth thats only 10calories each time and water. So all in all maybe 250 calories aday. I dont know what else to do. My body would rather starve than drink isopure and protein drinks.. ok maybe not my body but my taste buds any advice? Ive tryed so many protein drinks its not funny. Cant stand them.

I can have unsweetened almond milk??? I didnt know that. Thank u.

Ok. Awesome thank you!

Oooo i didnt know pureed egg salad was ok to eat in pureed stage awesome!!! I get to do pureed foods in alittle over 2 weeks. What else are you able to pureed in that stage?

I think something is different with my body than it should be. Im able to drink half a premier protein drink in 10 seconds litterally. I didnt mean too one day. we were running out the door to get to swim lessons and i forgot to have any protein so grabed it out of the fridge and downed a bunch. I got in the car and thought whoops i didnt think i was supposed to be able to do that. Anyways im only 2weeks post op. Idk why or maybe im looking it wrrong maybe people choice to drink slow cuz it makes them feel full im not sure.

Im what you call a debbie downer! I had my surgery may31st and regret every day i wish i wouldnt of done it. I didnt do all the research i should of just listened to the docters counceling class. Major mistake wish i would have never done this. Maybe it will change when im thin and wearing fun pretty clothes and feel sexy again but for now my attitude is it sucks!!

Wondering if its ok if i suck on sugarfree mints or is that a no no in the first stage of liquid diet? Also does gum really put air in your stomach or is that ok to chew? Sorry cant keep calling the docter with my dumb questions!!!

Im wondering why they dont give appetite suppresants when your in the liquid faze. I litterally told my surgeon im only eatting 4oz of protein a day , 6oz of broth and then 60oz of water on good days. He said perfect keep doing that till i see u again in a month! I cant drink more protein its so disgusting i want to vomit im starving to death is what he wants and im losing my mind. Im sick of my stomsch rumbling cuz its hungry! So why dont they give appetite suppresants?Anyone know?

I had my sleeve surgery may 31st. The night i ran out of pain meds my toes tingled at night which kept me up most of the night. Its so annoying i want to bang my foot on the floor. If i put preasure on my toes it feels better but its driving me nuts and even taking ambien at night im hardly sleeping because of it. Does anyone know why or how to stop it? I tryed drinking more water like maybe its from dehydration but that doesnt seem to be the case. Anyone know?

I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday he just said lets leep an eye on it. He said there werent anyother symptoms to suggest anything else. He said if its still going on at our next appointment then maybe i need restless leg symptom medicine. Im not diabetic ether so i just dont know. Hoping someone had same issues. Ive always had a problem with my hands going numb at night when i sleep on my side and thats do too nerve problems in my shoulders and neck but to have my toes tingle now its getting harder to sleep.. it must be a nerve issue in my toes which i hope somehow goes away. I kinda wonder if this WLS triggered a bigger problem in my body. My sister has alot of nerve issues and is misserable. Oh dear i hope that doesnt happen for me. I didnt even think about it till now.

I had the sleeve done 11 days ago and for me i kinda thought this surgery was going to give me energy to be able to play with my 2 kids but i found out that the energy comes much much later. Like months! I also thought (from my surgeon) i wasnt supposed to be hungry sence they removed the appetite hormone in the part of the stomach they cut off that hunger wouldnt come back for 3 yrs. Apparently that was a load of crap! Unless my body is the one in million that doesnt work like that. Im starving and i know alot of people are starving in the liquid faze but goodness gracious its harder than i thought it was going to be. I thought i was going to be comparing the liquid faze to the hcg diet but its much worse. Im kinda a sour person right now so hopefully i dont offend anyone im tired, weak and feel like i have no muscles in my body to hold me up and that doesnt change if i drink more water or protein. My body just doesnt like this. Im actually giving my kids a bath right now sitting here exhausted and i havent even washed there hair yet.. Anyways i wish u a better journey on ur weight loss. on a positive note i have lost 18pounds!

What protein powder do you use? It must taste good to be able to add it to other things.

Qbaby08 you will do great! I was scared and nervous the week before my surgery too. I kept thinking bad thoughts and over thinking what will happen and got cold feet thinking if i should go through with it. Dont worry i just had my sleeve done may 31st and its finally easier. First 2 days sucked for me and were awful no lie gas got stuck in my chest for days and nurses kept saying to walk as much as possible and sip water to try to get the gas out. Found everytime i had there nausea medication it made me dry heave and id actually burp a bunch in stead Anyways first 2 days were horrible But got easier after that and now im a week post op and im finally able to sleep on my side and hold my kiddos and do alot of things. Some docters say drink a certain amount of calories but mine didnt he said the number 1 thing in the first 2 weeks after ur surgery is getting hydrated so water, water, water i have to put crystal light with my water to get 60oz a day. My doctor said dont worry about protein right now just water. So now i drink lots of water and about 2oz low sodium chicken and beef broth at different times a day and maybe only 2oz of protein drink from costco and im doing great. Just be carful to not over strain or over do it in anyway like picking heavy things up. You will be a whole new person next year and u should be so excited. Im happy for you! Everone that i ran in to before surgery that had the sleeve done said to me they wished they did it sooner in life rather than waiting cause they were scared. You got this!!!

I dont agree with your lose slowly advice. If people want to lose weight slowly they would just do weight watchers till they get to the weight they want. With having the sleeve done is the time to lose as much weight as you possibly can as fast as you possibly can. I would think more than 85% if not more over weight people who lose the weight have to get skin removed somewhere on there body. so why not lose as much as quickly as possible and have a new start to look the way u want and feel good and be healthy and get fit and into healthier foods. I have had 2 C-sections my stomach fat hangs over my scar so much no matter how much weight if i lost it slowly or fast i will still have hanging, sagging skin like a pancake when i reached my goal weight.

Hi, so what ive been told the best ways to help your skin right now is too moisturize with lotion and put sunscreen on when ur outside and keep your body well hydrated. When you can start exercising toning your muscles few times a week and even with that if anyone has been obese like myself i know i will have alot of lose skin on my stomach hoping my arms wont be a problem and my thighs. But will see. I started at 245 heaviest and before sleeve surgery i was 237 and i just had my gastric sleeve done last week and weigh 233. My skin is very thin and i feel like with my genetics im screwed with how my families skin bounces back. Age, skin damage, and how much u stretched ur skin all take a play in it. So i know when i get under 140 one day im getting a mommy makeover and getting my tummy tucked and my boobs put back where they go. I wish u the best!

I dont understand why so many people are cheating already on there diet plan.
