ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted June 25, 2012 welcome indianveg congratulations on being sleeved. i hope you are recovering nicely there are so many things for you to learn - i'll try and help you with a few basics. after weight loss surgery (also called WLS) rest alot from this board you have been through major surgery - and you might be very tired for a period of time. You must rest and take of yourself. No heavy lifting You must drink as much as you can, this is very important. You also should be drinking Protein Shakes if you can, but if you can't at first thats ok. Later though Protein is very very important most important is to DRINK as much as you can. people usually drink Water - plenty of water. eventually after you heal you should be drinking 64 oz. thats alot - do the best you can after surgery and a period of time then you should be drinking 64 oz a day protein is very very important - the main thing you should eat as a meal for example eggs, chicken, fish, meats - anything that is full of protein - to name a few - have a lot of lot of protein. very important - as important as water. You should walk alot too - you might have gas after surgery (which can last awhile) and walking is the best thing for to help get rid of gas. take some sort of gas pill to help get rid of the gas. You will go through different stages in the following order clear liquids other liquids mushy foods soft foods solids each stage will last a few days the above are just the very basics this is just the beginning many more things to learn that other people on this board can help with do you possibly have anyone to talk to about the surgery. any dr.? please read this board and you will get alot of information. ask specific questions and we will do our best to help. the board is very helpful good luck come again kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
