Hi, I am an Election Day Sleever, I think I am doing well. I have been walking everyday, cleaning and cooking. Pain is minimal...went to a huge craft show 2 days ago..going to the mall today. Getting in 50-60 oz of Water, I know I need more. yesterday close to 100 grams of Protein, I mix it in everything plus Isopure protein water (reason I am going to the mall) I do get hunger pangs.....I cant wait to eat a huge spoon full of Pasta and have a glass of wine.

Sleeved on nov 6. Doing ok, not getting all my fluids and Protein in, but doing the best I can. Have absolutely no energy today and yesterday. Feel like I sorta hit a wall....but I will try to get more fluids in and that should help. Walked some last week, but no so much yesterday. Today is pouring rain, so don't know if a walk will happen today. Glad I made this decision. Keep the healing going!

Sleeved on 11/1 and so far everything has been easy, almost too easy. I only had 1 day of liquid and then by day 2 was on pureed and soft foods. I have no problem getting all my liquids and can drink 16 oz in a half hour. I can do about 4 oz of Protein at a time before I get very full very quickly. The problem is that I will be hungry again in about an hour. In fact I feel hungry most of the time. I've been ignoring it but I've been surprised that it's happening.

Exercise has been limited to running on the elliptical. I am up to 40 minutes at a little more than half the resistance I was doing before being sleeved. This morning I went 3.5 miles which means I can probably up the resistance.

I have my 2 week followup on Thursday. I'm really hoping I cleared for yoga, coffee and some vegetables. I'm dying for a salad after a month of shakes and Protein.< /p>

I think the eas is cheaper than Atkins at Walmart..also I believe the best protien that absorbs best is a protien isolate..and Atkins has a protien blend..from what I remember..its all good though..we get what we can ..;)

Really wipes me out but feels so good to be outside. Still on clear liquid diet till tomorrow. Then I get to add Protein shakes. Hoping that goes down ok cuz I do feel weak.[/quote']

Hello!

I was sleeved the same day as you were. Can I ask, are you experiencing any mild stomach pain / discomfort? Mostly intermittent

wonderfuss

understandable that you are alittle tired. have a good nap

but.......i'm confused - ..if you are not too successful in getting in much of your Protein shake (which after one week or so is totally understandable)

how are you getting in 50 g of Protein, did i miss something???

just curious, but you know what they say about curiosity :wacko:

good luck with re-cuperation, getting all your strength back too, but take a nap for me too ;)

Proudgrammy -

I got 50g of protein in by drinking an Isopure with 40g in it. I haven't been successful in getting all of my Protein shakes. I want to get the Protein Shakes in but I just can't anymore. So I forgot about dry non-fat milk, bought it to put in things to boost the protein. Apparantly not feeling good yesterday meant developed a cold yesterday evening. Not pleasant at all. But I'm getting in fluids and sleep is awesome!

      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.
