Im New On Vst- I Had Gastric Sleeve Surgery On May 27th,2011



Recommended Posts

I had Gastic Sleeve on May 27th, 2011 with Dr. Rodriguz, in Mexico. I live in Florida. I have lost 140lbs since my sergery date. I feel as if im slowing down on losing weight, i work out 4 days a week and i dont really drink the protien shakes, does anyone know any Protein Shakes that taste good? Ive very picky. But i found Protein pills i take as a supplment. I need advice on different types of food that people are eating? I hate Veggies and im not sure what i should do they wont stay down... if any one has any advice please let me know. Thanks

I like the Premium chocolate Protein Drinks from costco. They have 30 gms of Protein. Also have a Protein Powder by NuTek that also has 32 gms protein. When I mix it, (vanilla) tastes really good. Sometimes I put some frozen mixed fruit and it's a smoothie....yayyyyyyy. Congrats on your 140 lb weight loss! that's awesome.. ;)

Have you tried logging your foods and getting all your Protein from foods? My surgeon's manual says that from the 2nd though 6th month "patients should gradually increase their consumption of protein from food.....and decrease supplemental Protein Shakes and powders". Many of us here use myfitnesspal.com to log our foods. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

      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.
