Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

No, no GasX for me. Doc doesn't want me taking anything pills, chewables, Vitamins even until I see him at my one week post-op next week. Maybe I am not walking enough. I am walking but not very far in the neighborhood because my incisions hurt so damn bad. I am so craving food today!!!!

they make Gas-X strips that melt in your mouth.. that way you don't have to swallow anything! :)

I'm having a hard time with food, so far I've had a scrambled egg with a little cheese, Tomato Soup, and today went out and got a few different Soups. I'm big into sf Popsicles, yogurt isn't fun for me, I've had sf pudding, but I mostly just do shakes because I'm nervous. My doc said to finely chop some eggs and some fat free mayo for egg salad, I may give it a go tomorrow. But everything just seems uncomfortable for me with food. I plan to try some tuna fish soon too.

I have drank more Water than I ever thought possible... I cannot tolerate ANY of the Protein I have tried.. I ordered egg drop Soup and added a bit of chicken bullion in it to add more flavor... SF popsicles and so far, that's it but yippee... not much if any pain anymore..but GAS? OMG ugh....the more I walk the more I have LOL

mdm you are not missing anything when it comes to the oatmeal and cream of wheat i think its a waste and i should be able to have something else. i follow the phase two letter by letter. i start phase 3 thurs i cant freaking wait 4 wks on liquid is no joke man. i was so tempted today to eat cottege cheese instead of the Soup but i ate the damn soup. i cant stand the milky shakes at all i get so nauseas when i drink them and some go right through me. my necter is taking to long to get here. as for the insicions i put bio oil on anyway all of the stuff they covered them with is gone but it dont help with the itching i tell you that.

momo the whole chewalbe crap sucks mines are so damn sweet. i got mines online through kaiser i hate them and they have Iron and you can taste it in your mouth afterwards and iron taste yuk.

today i met a personal trainer the first thing i noticed was his arms so nice. it was like a scene from the movies we started talking and we stood in front of the store for about 3 hrs and still didnt want to leave each other i felt something with him and he did as well but he said he will be professional and wants to take me under his wing and be on my team to get me fit and his gym has a scholorship program that i can get. can you say wow and he is a possible love intrest

Starting to really miss eating food.....had my sleeve 9/18. It is good to read these posts, as I don't feel so abnormal now. Really getting sick of all the Water I have to drink. Damn food commercials on tv don't help. Plus I cooked for my significant other today....had to keep my mouth closed. At least someone in our house had a great meal today.

Newgrandmother - where is that gym? I was told in my options class not to go to a gym for 3 months. Anyone else told that?

I keep reading how people are walking a week after surgery, I'm still in pain

I was told i could go back to the gym next week and resume my normal routine. As women we aren't heavy lifting really so i can go back to doing my weights like i normally do. i cant wait..walking is boring. I was sleeved on 9/5 so its just 3 weeks for me not working out in the gym...3 months seems a tad long?

Any of you guys on the puree stage. What are you eating?

I'm a little confused with the pureed stage and full liquid stage.

I am on full liquids I'm allowed to have:

Yogurt

Cottage cheese

Sf Jello

Sf popsicles

Sf pudding

Sf custard

Pureed and strained Soups.

broth

Either way I've tried some soups like egg drop soup; miso Soup of course without the garnish and creamed.chicken soup and my stomach started hurting.

What are you eating?

      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.
