Recommended Posts

Was n a hurry for an appt and ate wayyyyyy to fast! Now I feel like I have the flu! That will b the first and last time! I have had no complications and even wondered if my sleeve was to big. I found out the hard way today it's just right! Never again!!!

Well, the good news is that now you're reassured that you are restricted. Now, don't forget to slow down and take time to eat right :)

I suspect I'll end up doing that at least once when I get sleeved, too - my days tend to be somewhat hectic, so I'll need to be sure and carve out time for meals and insist on them. How does everyone deal with the hectic factors of life in the 21st century?

Yep, I've had it happen a couple of times....you'd think I'd learn, but sometimes the food goes down too easy that I end up eating one bite too much. I'll eventually get this eating thing down... :D

Yep! I thought my sleeve wasn't working either. And I too learned the hard way. I'm still learning to live with it and I haven't quite learned what is one bite too much. It's like not full, not full, not full, to BAM one bite more and waaaay too full. It's miserable and I hope I figure it out soon!

Me too. So hard to change habits such as eating too fast. I had some Soup last night and ate maybe 4 ounces. Was too full! Hoping to get than hang of it any day now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
