HELP ! 13 days post and Im eating tooo much



Recommended Posts

Morning,

I'm 13 days post op I had gastric sleeve surgery on May 12th, as of yesterday I was able to finish 3 cups of Soup not at one sitting but throughout the day. I'm very concerned others I have spoken with have said they have only been able to get in a few tablespoons here or there. Please help me I'm still in the semi liquid stage and I think I may be consuming too many liquids please respond with your experience in the first few weeks of your surgery. Also, I am only down 4 lbs.

I need your help desperately, I don't want to stretch my new stomach.

It doesn't sound like you are eating too much if you are eating 3 cups of Soup all day! Calm down, if you feel that you are doing something wrong, call you surgeon's office. 4 lbs in 13 days sounds awesome, goodness, it is not magic, phoof! the weight is off forever! You are in the healing stage, so don't worry, so much, just follow your surgeon's restrictions. Best wishes, welcome to your new life!

Thank you, I didn't think it would be magic, I just have seen so many people with 10 + lbs gone and had surgery either on the same day or later, so I felt I had been doing so etching wrong. Thank you for the information.

Hard as it may be, try not to compare. We each put weight on for individual reasons and we each take it off at our own individual pace. I'm not an expert on the sleeve at all, since I have the band, but it seems that it would take repeated overeating of bulky food to stretch out the stomach, not liquids that are passing through at a pretty quick pace. I may be wrong on that theory, but if worried, do what @kil724 suggested, and call your surgeon.

Even though you shouldn't compare yourself to others, go ahead and use this one ....I lost 3 pounds in the first 17 days post op. Better yet, stay off the scale for at least a month. Get at least 64 oz Fluid and 60g Protein everyday. That's all you need to worry about this soon out.

You are doing GREAT! You really can't overdo liquids. You can get dehydrated much more easily than the opposite. And please if possible, DO stay off that scale. You KNOW you are losing weight. Just give your healing body a break!8 weeks from now you're going to look back at this post and smile. I promise!

I've lost thirty pounds in three weeks, but gained five the first six days before I started losing...crazy, because half that time I was eating nothing!

Don't compare. You're an individual. Stick to your plan and you'll get there!

What is your food plan per your nutritionist? Whatever that is follow it & do not compare your plan to another's .

      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.
