Anyone Getting Sleeved On Leap Day With Me?



Recommended Posts

I checked, I can't have tuna or eggs until at least 2 weeks, but I can start on yogurt and ricotta tomorrow. YAY.

Somehow I managed to pull a muscle near my sorest incision. Ouch. And I'm having a reaction to the iodine stuff they clean you with.

Oh well, minor issues, hopefully I won't have any major ones!

I have to stay on liquids until two weeks. After that I can add on thicker liquids like pudding, yogurt ect. I did order the Unjury powder online and its helping me get my Protein in. The chicken flavor and the plain. Chicken blends in great with Soups and its 20 grams. The plain gets mixed in with Water and crystal light. So confusing how all the doctors have different diet plans.

It is odd. It seems I have the most relaxed requirements regarding food, but they were intense with all of the pre appointment and meeting and weightloss. (I had to lost 10% of my body weight first)

I went to the Vitamin Store to look at Protein powders while I wait for my unjury to come in, and they have nothing plain. The guy kept asking if I want something that tastes good or is plain. I said plain, everything tastes too sweet. And I don't want artificial sweeteners either. I have liked Jay Robb in the past, but haven't tried all of his flavours, so I'll try them.

Has anyone weighed themselves yet?

HI everyone!

I wanted to check in now that we're all a month out!

So far I'm good. I've lost 20 lbs (which I'm happy with 'cause I'm only 5'0")

I got stomach flu earlier this week , so it's been hard with that, but over all everything is good!

Hi!

So I've been on solids since 2 weeks... I did a week of liquids, then a week of yogurt and the like, then at my appointment we talked about how I can't tolerate Protein Powder, so I moved onto mushy foods, and I was told it was okay to move on anyhow since I chew everything so well.

I stick to mostly Proteins. A lot of chicken breast, sandwich meats (nitrate and nitrite free), a lot of whole eggs, some fish, and lots of chewing! I make sure everything is good and chewed before I swallow it.

I've had a tiny bit of bread, only once and it filled me up too much and I can't waste precious stomach room on anything that isn't Protein.

My biggest problem is that I don't have 45 mins to an hour to eat like was suggested to me. I have 2 young children. Time is a luxury. So I've had a few times where I've eaten too much and felt horrible, so I try to remember about how many bites I can have before I'm full. it's not the best way, but it's working.

I commented to my doctor at my check up that I was feeling hungry and he seemed baffled. I think I was feeling thirst. Although this week with having stomach flu, I felt hunger. But it's cause I hadn't eaten anything from tuesday at lunch until friday at lunch. (horrible flu going around here, it totally had me freaked out, but I'm okay!)

Anyhow, don't be scared! Just go slow to see what you can tolerate and chew chew chew chew chew, also chew some more. It'll be fine!

Have you started working out much? I've been walking a lot, haven't made it to the pool, just out of horrible schedules, but lots of walking.

PS congrats on 22lbs! YAY

I know I'm not getting enough Protein. It is very hard to remember on busy day sand like u don't have an hour! I never feel hunger so that's wierd!

Have a great day!

Just checking in on my fellow leap day sleevers. How is everyone doing? I am down 22 pounds not a, lot. I feel great. Eating is getting easier. Still having a rough time getting all my Protein and Water in but its getting better. Biggest challenge right now is knowing when to stop eating. Being full feeds horrible. How's everyone else doing?

I am working on fixing that with meds. I am down 20, been stalled for about 1 week. Need to start walking more. I feel like I am eating to much. Need to start measuring more. Been trying new recipes. Hope all is well. I am tired and going to bed.

      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.
