The Gastric Sleeve Chat Room Is Always Open!



Recommended Posts

I messaged Alex and he said they took the chat program out because it was costing a lot to maintain on their server, and he could not justify spending the money because it was hardly being used.

I wrote back and told him if he ever decides to bring it back , to please but the button where we click clearly visible, and the reason it wasn't being used, was because nobody was using it.

If people want to live chat, message Alex and tell him you want it back. I think if he saw people really wanted it, he would bring it back.

Hi Pastano. I am just beginning also. I'm a bit overwhelmed with it all. Maybe I'm just afraid of success with surgery as I am failure (as so many previous times) without surgery.

I use my fitness pal and it always tell me to eat at least 1600 calories a day. I'm only getting in 800-900. I get in all my Protein, fiber and liquids. Should I just ignore it because I just can't do it. I feel overwhelmed

Hi! I use MFP as well. You can change your goals anytime in the settings. You will get a warning at the end of the day telling you that you need to eat more. I just ignore that. You can also set goals for protein and carbs.

      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.
