Sleeved 5/17 And I Have Questions



Recommended Posts

ease up on the chicken and turkey now, 3 weeks out is still needing softer food. I bet thats the whole problem. Try tuna, salmon and fish.

the moister the better now. I always try not to expand my time of eating to more than 20 mins. Our sleeves really cant hold more than few bites. The real question is, are you satisfied after eating? or do u feel hungry? or do u feel like u are sweating and over done it? (chest pain)

Again I will confirm it for you it gets way easier, your stomach is still swelling and still healing and the real capacity is ahead of you. Be kind to it and go for softer food. I will be it will makes a difference and you wont feel like "eating" is a lot of work to do.

best of luck

Loo I am full after eating. I have learned when to stop. My problem is I'm hungry an hour or two later. I do eat more fish than chicken or beef. I tend to eat chicken and beef at work to not have the breakroom smelling fishy. I eat fish at home. I am going to try more Protein Shakes in this coming week. Maybe my sleeve wasn't ready. I will take a step back and see how it goes.

      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.
