Sleeved May 9...depressed, regretting having they surgery!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved may 1st and its been a rough road. I didn't like any Protein Shakes I tried a bunch and have plain Protein Powder added it to cream Soup and choked it down. Now I'm on puréed so I try to eat tuna eggs and cottage cheese and drink sugar free carnation Breakfast. I am hoping to come across a Protein Shake that I like. I can only eat 3-4 bites at a time then am full for hrs. I did miss food at first and was miserable but now I'm use to it. I don't even crave chocolate for some reason I am craving a big fat turkey sub lol I'm nervous to eat regular food again Idk how my stomach will handle it. In the beginning I the puréed stage and even now every now and then I puke. I don't regret it though I've lost 30 lbs and look forward to keep loosing I also started walking I really want this weight off and feel good being 30 lbs lighter!!

I went through a period of wanting a sandwich so bad! You just want to bite into something, huh? When you're on liquids and soft food you just want some "real" food! Have you tried Premier Protein ready made Protein drinks? I love the chocolate one! I've tried several and this one was the best fit for me. I get mine at Sam's and they come in vanilla and chocolate. Walmart may have them too and in a smaller thing to try...not sure.

No laura I haven't tried those but I'm willing to try anything that will help me out

If you go to GNC they will have a variety of drinks that are not milk based..

Grape is my favorite. Alpine Punch isn't too bad either.

Ah good! I've never had a problem with the milky shakes, I still drink the premiers 6 months out!

But some people just can't stomach those.

So sorry you are having a time of it. As people said above, try the Isopure. Best source of Protein. I second the grape. I lived on it for several weeks.

It will get better.

Hang in there.

I drink GNC premade Total Lean shakes. If you put these in the freezer for a little bit they taste just like a chocolate shakes. Take it from me you will have up times and down times. You are not alone please find someone on here to lean on and you will get passed this.

      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.
