Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

@momof.....you should try the liquid diet. If one of your kids got sick, you would do that until they started feeling better. Treat your" tiny tim" like a baby tummy.....after all it is!!

I agree w/ the above - go back to the basics of just Protein Shakes, juice & etc & of course lots of Water & then work your way back every couple of days just like we did when we 1st got sleeved... Hope you get better soon & can eat...

momof i just went through that. i had stomach flu like symptoms aka dumping. my eating wasnt back to normal till today. i had no appetite i could barely get anything in. my nut said i went through something violent with my new tummy and it takes a while to be ok. you will be fine. it took me 11 days before i was back to normal. by smart Water for the electrolytes. i lost 5lbs of water that night so give your body time try a full liquid diet for a day and slowly add soft foods thats what i did. i really had no appetite for food for 11 days. its back in full effect now. lol

ready its called a yeager meister i dont know how to spell it. it was my first time having it.

i had the best sandwich today. i went to trader joes my fave spot. i purchased whole wheat hamburger bun, breaded chicken breast, light sliced cheese lettuce and Tomato. omfg it was so good.

1/2 bun

1 breaded chicken brest it was small

1/2 light chedder chesse slice

2 slices of tomatos

1 lettuce leaf

under 300 cal

14 grams of Protein

less than 20 grams of carbs

Okay, I am ready to join the Sept 2012 Sleevers! I was sleeved on September 27th and 15 days later they found a leak. Needless to say I am WAY behind you all........I have been on TPN with PICC line since Oct 12th and nothing to eat or drink. This ended last week and I am now on all liquids and excited about finally dropping some lbs! Lost 11 lbs since removal of TPN. Having a hard time getting enough in though. I am only getting about 32 oz of liquids, but I add Protein to EVERYTHING so I am getting my 50-60 grams. I don't remember having such a hard time "liking" Water before the leak but now, can't stand the taste of a lot of things!

Welcome k9qt, sorry to hear how rough things were, I hope everything gets better!

I will be trying my first drink since surgery on Friday, I can't wait!

Omg I bought a sample pack of Vitamins from Celebrate and I feel like I'm going to vomit. I don't know how you guys chew those chalky vitamins. I've never been one to put things in my mouth unless it tasted good, no wonder I got this big :-/

At about 5 weeks on TPN I did tell the doctor I was about ready to take a syringe of Tequilla and add it to my TPN....I'm not even a drinker! But what I wouldn't give to calm the nerves at that point! She laughed at me and said "well technically, it is sterile"......

      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.
