January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is my sleeve too big?

Well' date=' I am 5 days post op and I can drink normal, without sipping, no pain meds and I can walk a half mile. I feel some hunger, I am starting to wonder if I really had surgery.

I can get in my full 64 oz and 60 grams of Protein with out any problems at all. My weight loss post surgery is 9 lbs.

Does this sound right? I am getting nervous that my sleeve is too big or something.[/quote']

Oh this sounds just like me but I'm 7 days postop today!! I guess we should be thankful!!

I have lost slowly in my opinion. Almost 3 weeks and I'm 15lbs down. I was losing slowly before I changed my diet though. My whole 2nd week I didn't lose anything. I'm not too concerned about racing to the finish line. Sure it would be nice but I know I will continue to go in the right direction. Also I start back to work next week so wanted to be on a more regular eating pattern so I have some idea what to pack for lunch.

I feel so good that I am thinking of going back to work next week too. I hate to jump the gun and then be sorry if I do go back and regret it.

I am/was the same way. I just started on full liquids and there is total restriction for me with creamy Soups and yogurts.

Your weight loss is great. Obviously starting weight and how much we each have to lose is a big part of it. I am 10 days out and 11 lbs down and I'm very happy with that!

I am so glad to hear that others had the same situation that I have, I feel great, this is so incredible. I can hardly believe it.

      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.
