Newbie Needs Help



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 2 days ago. I got home from hospital yesterday. This morning I started with my first Protein Shake. I am sitting here trying to get it down a tiny spoonful at a time. I hear lots of gurgling and some discomfort. I just want to know if this is normal and will it get better?

Yes, this is very normal. I couldn't even drink protien shakes at all because they made me feel sick. I drank High Protien Boost instead and it agreed with my stomach better.

I was told not to worry about Protein for the first week just to stay hydrated. Protein still makes my tummy bubbly at 9 weeks.

I'm 4 weeks out and my gurgling tummy is my alarm clock! When it's empty or getting full, it tells me! Annoying but it does remind me to eat otherwise I could go hours and hours now without eating/just don't feel hunger the same as before!

The first week, my surgeon wants me on Clear Liquids, but to add Protein bullets....1 42g bullet/day. Then the second week (after the first post-op appt) on to full liquids and the Protein Shakes.< /p>
