Only 35Lbs Down And Able To Eat Too Much :-(



Recommended Posts

Wow thank u all for ur support and encouragement. I love this site and the people in it :-). I have been trying to get the Protein in but its been tough. I ordered some unflavored so I can start mixing it with everything. I also can't seem to keep Water down... so I crush ice like a snocone and eat it constantly... usually an entire ice cube tray a night. I will keep on it, have a better attitude and come here often.... yes, we will succeed together! Thanks again... all of u!!

If your not able to tolerate Water - I was told this happens and I have the same issue. I put cukes, citrus, a table spoon on cranberry or pomegranate juice in it, drink unsweet teas, and crystal light. I thought there was something wrong with me. My surgeon said it happened sometimes and that it would change over time. I also have intolerance for sickly sweet. I have been drinking the Isopure Protein rtd which I am able to get down easier than the milkshake kind. I tried the unflavored Unjury protein and it smelled so bad i couldn't tolerate it. I'm not sure if it was bad or if it is all like that.

I had my surgery the day before you, lost about the same as you and I feel like

it's a nice amount of weight lost. I stalled for a couple weeks, ate a little more carbs/calories and voila! the scale moved-- but that's controversial and my opinion only.

If you're doing the Protein, Water and whatever else the doctor said to you you can only go down.

^^^ This. Your body may be going into starvation mode if you are not getting enough fuel. Sleeved or not this will happen. I have had to up my intake several times to break a stall a few times.

      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.
