I cant believe how happy I am with phase 3



Recommended Posts

I am beyond happy and pleased. Last night I had my first meal which included a piece of thin deli meat and a slice of cheese and it was delicious. Today for lunch I made a tuna salad which included dice onions, light mayo and lemon and pepper and I LOvED it. It tasted sooo delicious and my sleeve loved it and accepted it. I was so scared that I was never going to be able to eat again but that was not the case. I took care of my sleeve though and I ate by my doctors rules and ate very slowly. I was so scared to eat the tuna but I felt normal again. I could cry from happiness. Only my mom, 2 sisters and 3 closest friends knew of my surgery and now that I am eating more "healthy" food the rest of the family are not suspicious. I try to eat every 4 hours just like I am told too but sometimes every 3 hours because I do get hungry. I also work out so for 4 weeks I ate between 300-420 calories and yesterday was the first day I ate 690 calories and I did burn 390 at the gym. This is my phase 3 so not sure how much calories I should be eating. I make sure each of my meal had lots of Protein and low carbs. Just a week ago I was barely getting 20g of Protein and yesterday it was 63g I was beyond happy. I also take my Vitamins everyday it's part of me now and I don't want to get sick. I drink lots of Water especially at night I have a bottle next to my night stand and I am surprised how much I drink. I used to love sweet food but I am starting to hate them a lot. Like I loved my yogurt in the morning which is light and fit Greek yogurt and now I am finding it to be really sweet lol. Not complaining because sweets are the reason why I got into this place.

I have a lot of energy. I work full time and I am a full time student taking 6 classes and I still make time to go to the gym 3 times per week and I walk everyday during my lunch.

Knock on wood, I have to gas or acid problem at all. I wish I could use the bathroom more often but I will get there soon enough. Sometimes I think I did not have the sleeve at all haha. I remember the first 2 weeks were hard and everyone told me how it will get better to hang in there and I would say to myself no this will never get better but it's true it does get better. Just have patience and you won't believe how fast time flys.

Ok going to do homework now, I just wanted to share something positive.

That's wonderful! And it's also so nice to hear as a pre-op girl who is worried about those first two weeks.

Congratulations and keep it up!

That is great. I am just 4 weeks post-op. My NUT just allowed me to eat Protein in normal consistency. I had some fish Friday nite. Imagine that. Fish in WISC. On a Friday. Lol for those of you who don't know. Fish fry's in WISC on Friday is like a national holiday. Lol. Anyhow today I had a bacon cheeseburger. It was wonderful. 1st red meat in about 4 months.yes it does get better each week you progress through this journey. For any pre-op. It is the best thing I did for my health and well being.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
