Hello, I had my gastric sleeve 6 weeks ago in Mexico, it was a wonderful experience and if given the chance I would recommend it to anyone who has tried absoulutley everything with no prevail. This is a tool to teach us how to rethink our choices and retrain our brains on how to eat what to eat. When to eat. And defiantly not to over eat lol. As I mentioned earlier I am 6 weeks in and down 30lbs and stuck not losing and not gaining thAnk GOD. Is there any advice on what more I should be doing to get the ball rolling again? I do mild excercise when I have the energy but for the most part getting it in. Thank you in advance

Kiddo

sounds like you are doing just fine.

do you have a NUT - off Clear liquids, where are you with your meal plan? doctors all give different time periods to eat/drink different stages of food.

being 30 lbs down, post op? thats great

don't worry - all sounds good - keep up following the "rules", weight will go down slowly but surely

good luck

Thanks. I'm sorry if this may sound ignorant but what is a nut???? :)

I'm still on liquids it. Depends on how sensitive my stomach is but for the most part I eat like a bird, I do my Protein shake three times a day and then I eat either tuna, sardines, mashed cauliflower/broccoli, potato. Shrimp, beef is to heavy for now but veal isn't so much. I juice my fruit with my veggies. It still hurts my stomach on the solid foods but I just take smaller bites and chew longer then it's not so bad. I enjoy an avacodo every now and again one of my most favorite things to eat yum!!!!! I take in my Multivitamin and Biotin for my hair skin and nails and just started to take my potassium pills. I try to drink a minimum of 2 3oz glasses of milk or some kind of dairy, I think that pertty much sums it up. I thank for your help

      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.
