leesakake 10 Posted May 6, 2012 Is anyone afraid that they are making the right decision? I am. I want to be thinner and healthier more then you can imagine. Being on this prep diet do a week and half and lost 12 pounds. I say should I just keep soon this? Then I say. But I want real food. I am getting so confussed. I guess I also want to know say a year from surg what can we really eat? I haven't gotten a real answer from previous sleeve people. In will post again. I know Protein first but I wanna hear. Do you eat half a sandwich do you eat a cup of Pasta do you eat half egg omelet. Sorry I am saying all this. But I a scared! Thanks for listening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki147 10 Posted May 6, 2012 I understand your fear. My surgery is in the morning and once I go under, that is it, 80% of my stomach is history. I will not be able to eat when and how I want, I have to learn to eat the right amount or I will get sick. BUT I am going to be healthy, and I am going to look great! And Live longer. When you get concerned, think of those things...is eating the way we used to eat worth losing 10 or more years of our lives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barngirl 5 Posted May 6, 2012 Sleeved on May 3rd, got released from the hospital 8pm on the 4th. Feeling better each day-still feel beat up, but better each day. Had a hyadle hernia they had to fix as well so maybe that's making it worse? I have my schedule of 2oz every hour your awake and protien (I'm using Prostat 64so I just drink 2oz at a time-15 grams of Protein in those 2 0z). Doing my breathing exercises and I have to inject myself with lovanox 2x a day for next 2 weeks to reduce risk of blood clots. I was scared to death b4 surgery, showed my husband where everything was the night b4 ( papers, jewlrey etc) but after meeting with the team of doctors I felt much better on the day of surgery. The anasethiologist group was very nice-asked a million questions and made me feel better. I still had that "oh my god I'm alive reaction" along with what did I just do when I woke up-but I'm sure I made the right decision. I've been up walking around but I feel better laying down trying to sleep. It's strange, like time moves slowly- I look at the clock and it's 1 and I fall asleep- think ove been sleeping for hours but it's only 1:14. Today I'm able to move around much easier and getting my Proteins and fluids in. My new tummy growls!! Feels weird when it does, hurts a little andd makes a rather large noise for such a small thing.

D1NOnlySexyLady 70 Posted May 6, 2012 Hey barngirl I was sleeved aswell, I May 1st to be exact and have yet to have Protein Drinks, I thought that while you're on Clear Liquids you're not supposed to have Protein Shakes. Which one's are you having? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
