3 Weeks Out

[Cas714 4]

So 3 weeks ago I has the band to sleeve revision and so far I'm ok. The only problem I'm having is getting all my liquids down or drinking or eating any Protein. I feel so full once I drink like 3 sips of my shake and that's all I can get down for the rest of the day. My dr said don't worry but I'm weak and can't even exercise because I have no food in my system. Has this happened to anyone else?

I couldn't get much down either. You will be fine. It gets better every day. Just make sure to get the fluids in first, however you can.

yes, I know how that feels like. even know (5weeks post-op) I can't seem to take down all of my required Protein, but don't stress out! drink fluids, don't eat "real" food. kinda starve yourself, but in a good way hahaha, I hope I'm making sense... like for instance: if u get hungry drink cool ice chips, Water, liquids, sugar free popsicles, anything with ice/water!! it helped me a lot, during my first 3-4 weeks I never ate food and I'm now 30 pounds lighter. and my hair has not fallen out. I feel sooo good!

best of luck!

I'm 3 weeks out also. I get my Water and Protein in both by drinking special k protien water. It taste really good and it really just became a habit for me try that and see if that works my favorite is the pink lemonade
