January 2013 Sleevers?

[asifitsthelast 31]

Ok...I'm hungry...starving a little....sooooo I chewed a piece of baked chicken about 30 times and swallowed....nothing happened. My sleeve accepted it very well. I am 9 days postop' date=' but so know that I didn't eat another piece...Ughhh[/quote']

Don't feel guilty I did the same thing with fish not bc I was hungry. Its mental for me. I don't feel hungry anymore my stomach just makes weird noises or moves a lot. I am 24 days out from surgery and I cannot get Protein in to save my life the shakes make me gag...long story...but you will know if you have over done it you feel it in your chest.

Shirtsleevedkay- are you drinking all your Water and Protein? I was hungry earlier and thought about trying some food but decided to follow my instructions and had some Soup and water.

I' be been freezing since surgery!

I am right there with you. I am normally the hot one... But since starting the pre op diet and surgery I have noticed that I get cold very easy. I have been told it is due to not eating as much fat

I'm always cold, I've started wearing jumpers all the time. This started a week after my op, and has continued. My daughter says its due to me loosing my installation

Right now, I am required to drink 32oz Of Water and 40 to 60gm of protein....with my Protein Shake, its 60gm when I mix it with 8oz of water...I get that in by noon, and the water is smooth sailing...I am drinking Isopure or flavored water during the day and drinking my chicken broth...today I will switch some things around and see if I can work something out...because I have truly been hungry since surgery, lots of head hunger and lots of stomach hunger too...ughhhh

Yes I am getting it in....I decided not to try it again because I want to stay on track because I am losing weight real fast...but I must come to some kind of happy medium because I am truly hungry and I thought I wasn't supposed to feel this kind of hunger all the time. I will talk to my doctor and discuss if I need another type of ppi or something..i start back to work in almost 2 weeks, I want to have it all together when I return back to work.

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

Hello, my name in Jon I'm 38 married with two great kids! I had surgery on 01-23-2013! I am currently down 30#! I had surgery at Fletcher Allen In burlington Vermont.

My 3 week post op doctors appointment will be on the 14th of February. So far I am very optimistic about the surgery! My surgeon Dr. Patrick Fagione has been the BEST along with the entire staff at FAHC bariatric center!

They do according to my doc, but some people have problems with them if they're overcooked because they can get a bit rubbery.

[ashiashley 42]

How far out are you ash?

I'm on my third week and just moving to soft food. I have been on liquids for all two weeks plus the one week prior to surgery.

Mine says the harder fish might have to be pureed
