Any People With Gastric Sleeve Leaks?



Recommended Posts

Yaaay on the good report! It is definitely interesting to live with a new way of eating. I knew how to make healthy food choices before the surgery--unfortunately, I just didn't do it most of the time. Thankfully, the sleeve is helping me because I'm just not as hungry, but I still have those psychological cravings too. I've been to some really nice restaurants in my time, and had some really good food...but the two foods I seem to miss are Hardee's Sausage Biscuits and pizza Hut Super Supreme Pizza with a Pan Crust. Go figure. What do you suppose the hidden addiction is in our fast food loves? Too bad we can't figure out how to add it to broiled fish!

I am doing great. Blood work and pressure is great. My doctors are so experienced they new what do and got me thru it. I have lost a total 129 lbs. My golf game is back and I even hit the ball better. I can play up to seven days a week. There are times regret it the because I can't take a huge bite something or eat bread. My only real problems is contistpation and heart burn but I am treating them better. I love going up to people who I havn't seen In awhile andwatch them do double take.

I'm so happy your doing better. . . i understand totally about the not being able to take a big bite of something. . .it sucks sometimes, but that is the lifestyle change we must endure. . . i eat my meals on a teacup saucer or in a small dessert nappe. . . i've been doing this for 9 months so can you imagine how i feel when i go out to eat and they bring out the food? I'm like, "ma'am, could you bring a to-go box please" most times they look at me weird and one time one said "but you haven't even started eating" but got it for me anyhow. . . hehehehe i love it:lol0: have you tried the benefiber powder? I use that along with metamucil wafers and Fiber advantage gummies. . definately don't have a problem anymore

      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.
