Veteran Sleevers Speakup Plz



Recommended Posts

I took a Tramadol 100mg extended release and a 500 methocarbamol.

That was the first pain med I had taken since Sunday am before my flight home. Now I'm not sure if it was that or something else but I stopped drinking at 645pm and still have not gotten down more than an oz of mashed potatoes. Highly annoying.

Hi Loser (sleeve-twin)!

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing these discomforts. Although I drank too fast one day last week, and had to vomit it back up, pronto... No other problems with drinking nor eating thus far (fingers crossed). I have a theory on MY experience thus far... and that it my having had the band before, perhaps my old "band habits" of slow and steady, and such... have kicked back in? I can't explain it. I will say the one thing that has been back for me the last two days is HUNGER. I can't figure it out... It's really bugging me. I didn't have my Protein right away in the morning the last couple of days, which is the only thing I can think would be the reason? I'm going to start my day with 35 grams of Protein (Jay Robb shake) tomorrow morning, and see how that affects my day.

If you need to vent or talk, I'm here for you, bro! If you want to email me a PM or talk on the phone, let me know.

Hang in there! :):smile::smile:

Loser and PNW, I'm so sorry you're both feeling poorly. It sounds like quite a humbling experience.

PNW, I'm also 8 days out. I don't get to advance to mashed potatoes or potato Soup for at least another week when I get to pureed foods. I'll be on full liquids until then. Maybe back it up a little and do more fluids and see if you feel better?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
