Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hi to all u guys & I'm glad ur feeling better Ms Ready! Wanted to ask' date=' do cold things or hot things have any affect on that stuck feelin in ur throat? Cold made me feel that way for the 1st wk or so...I had surgery on the 14th, & doin pretty well...I stick with full liquids, but I have been blending Soups for a 'regular' dinner...I'm dyin for refried Beans, but nervous that they'll b heavy on my belly...

1 other thing I do is I eat with a baby spoon...helps me keep the bites small, & things go down smoothly (yogurt, pudding, mashed taters, potted meat)

Hope u gals start feelin better! I pray for all of us to be healthy <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

Somewhat feeling better but still having the same issues... Glad to hear you doin well...

Well today I wake up not wanting to do anything including going to work' date=' it's a good thing I set my own schedule or I'd be late already. I don't know if I feel depressed because I was so disappointed with my first soft foods yesterday or the fact that its my birthday and I can't have any food or drinks that I like and my incisions are irritated and itch so bad, I'm leaving marks on my stomach from scratching so hard.

I really wanted to have my surgery before my birthday so I could start my new year with a whole new life, I got my wish but don't feel happy about it now. My surgery was 2 weeks ago today so hopefully things are better next week.

Sorry for the whiny post, I don't have anyone to vent to since I'm told this is what I wanted. Yes I wanted the surgery to hopefully not have the rare condition I have anymore since it might be weight related but it doesn't mean this isn't hard.[/quote']

Don't feel bad some of us are doin better then others & prayerfully our issues will go away soon... It can bring you down but just know that we will look back & laugh @ all this one & let's hope that's one day soon... Got on tr scale yesterday & it showed I lost 3lbs so that lifted my spirits some - wont weigh myself again till next Wed even though the scale seems to call my name every time I go into the bthroom - lol but I will try to resist the urge...

OK friends, just tried this Protein Shake recipe: 1 cup skim milk, 1 scoop Jay Robb chocolate Protein Powder, and 2 Tbs creamy peanut better (oh yeah!!!). Pretty darn good! I can't just eat Peanut Butter yet on day 10 but my doc said I could blend it into my shakes. I am feeling pretty shaky this afternoon so decided to drink a shake. I just can't drink it fast enough before it gets separated and warm. Oh well. Anyone else feeling shaky in the legs???

Ok friends... I need your help!

Im about 2 weeks post op and I'm having a very hard time getting in my fluids and Protein.

I can't stand the taste of any of the Protein Shakes I've tried, I can eat Soups and yogurt but that's not giving me enough protein. I've been able to eat babybel light cheese... Hope that's ok!

I can't seem to get more than 25-35oz of Water in daily. I can't explain why... It's just very hard.

If I force myself on any of the above I slime. :(

What an I doing wrong???

I hear u-honostly today will b the 1st day I've gotten my water in...as far as protein, ur doin soups-so this eve I blended 4 oz of lean roast beef into some Tomato basil soup-the Soup alone has hardly any protein, but since I added the beef, it does..the meat is around 7grams per oz...now, it made a whole cup-but I'll eat what I can, & at least get more in than just soup alone...do u flavor ur water? Does the temp matter?

I do flavor my Water with CrystalLight. I do tend to do better with warm liquids. I tried to eat some turkey chili today for lunch. I did ok but couldn't get more than 2oz in.

Well, as of this evening I learned that refried Beans are NOT my friend...sigh..not yet anyway. I heated up some fat free spicy beans with a wedge of Laughing Cow Chipotle cheese and OMG so yumm-o....until....they got stuck.

So I got up and walked away. Came back later and took another bite and the same thing. So I guess my body isn't ready for that one. Oh well, the taste I had was great!

I tried the refried beans too and they made me soooooooooo sick. I stepped back to the liquids for a day. Today i made soft eggs and i had about 1/4 cup of that and I was full. It tasted great. I use 1 egg, a little 2 milk, and a sprinkle of cheese for extra Protein.< /p>

Wow glad to see everyone is doing good. My surg was on 9/12.... I'm already on soft foods but actually I can eat just about anything, and it seems like more than I should be able to. I must say this makes me a little nervous. Only being 2 weeks out and I'm already on a week stall is this normal????

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
