Well, it appears that any Protein that has ANY sugar in it, goes right through me... Spoke with the nutritionist and they moved me to pureed so that I can start taking my protein via food. My blood pressure is down low and I have no energy because I was only drinking Water, sf popcicles, and cream soup.. YIPPEE now I can have anything that is mashable EXCEPT meat, bread, and pasta...

Oh and Sonic sells a Sunrise Smoothie... it is NOT ON THEIR MENU but they do make it.... strawberry, banana, a splash of orange juice and a scoop of their "ice cream" which is actually ice milk... YUMMMIEEE! and here is the nutritional info... a little high in calories BUT VERY high in protein and that's exactly what I needed right now... http://calorielab.com/restaurants/so...oothie/14/2046

I was sleeved on the 17th. Really thought I was doing well. Last three-day I sleep a lot and have gotten behind on my Water. Not having pain, but burning if I bend the wrong way. liquids really getting old. Anyone else have these problems or am I worrying too much?

I was sleeved on the 17th too... Are u taking your Proteins and your Vitamins? ? And dont slow down on yr liquids or you might get dehydrated... Dont worry our bodies are just reacting to the loss of more than half of a major organ...just keep a track of your fluids n proteins and u will feel better...i am taking my Multivitamins religiously and it works wonders...cheers !!!

Sitting here waiting to go home after 2 nights in the hospital. Pretty rough. Hopefully this was all worth it.

just wanted to reach out to u and tell u it will get better. this is temporary- when u graduate to soft mushies- it gets better fast. do EXCTLY what u r supposed to- do nit get dehydrated. For the next two weeks- getting ur fluids and Protein in are a full time job. hang in there- its soooo worth it- 4 mos here- 70 lbs.

I had the sleeve doneon Monday Sept 17th--had alot of pain (more than I had anticipated) but today - 5 days post op' date=' I finally am feeling better-showered, hair washed and styled and mascara on! Off for a short walk and then spending the morning on the porch reading and enjoying the beautiful fall day!!

My question is: How many of your surgeons/doctor groups called you at home post op?? Mine has not, and I am kind of pissed about it!

Mine called 2 days after then the following week. Also the hospital bariatric nurse called to check on me and also mailed me a get well card. I was very surprised

My surgeon n NUT gave me their cell numbers ....that was pleasantly surprising!! But i guess most surgeons in India do that....what was even more surprising is that they actually reply texts :P not immediately but they do....:) :)

1st night at home and pretty rough. Very hard to find a comfortable way to lay down. The hospital beds weren't the best so have bad back ache to go along with the pain in the front. Stomach is going crazy so going to call the Dr for Prilosec and anything else he can give me to help out.

      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.
