August Sleevers Check In

[angieprks 19]

I was on the 18th too and mostly I am doing ok except for having diareah anything milky or Protein Shakes and they just literally go right through me. I have no pain other than a little in my left shoulder I am struggling to do all the Fluid and Protein. I find Soups are the best.

So jealous.. Haven't ad a decent BM yet!! I get so jealous when I see people have liquid and I am over here like anytime now!!! I feel soooo bloated.

it will come. Had surgery 8/29/14 I had a bm 4 days later but not the norm, it was runny (tmi) now I can pass down there freely. My problem is I don't know wen I am full so I drink a lot of liquids so I don't get dehydrated. A lot of spasms though. And medication makes me halleucinate. Stopped taking it.

I too am on liquids until Wednesday. I do not feel full... And as painful as the spasms are, I'm glad to hear someone else is having them. I was beginning to wonder if it was hunger pains! I'm still having my head hunger. Is this an issue for you also?

OMG the spasms are horrible!!! I had tried to lay in bed the other night and had to get up because they made my chest sore!!!! I beginning to wonder if it's acid reflux. I have been taking a PPI but I think maybe I will try a tums and see if that helps. Glad to know I am not the only one.

I got my surgery on August 1st and have been on liquid since surgery.....so tired of liquid! I had a few bites of fish yesterday and it was great to get the taste of meat. I know that probably sounds so strange but I am so tired of sweet tastes! How soon did anyone try fish after surgery? I heard fish is the easiest to go down, that's why I tried it first

Angie, I have started using children's chewable Tylenol... Miracle workers on the spasms... I was actually able to sleep for 6 hours before waking up to a spasm:-)

I was sleeved on 8/20 and tried a piece of turkey yesterday... Just a small piece and chewed it a million times bc I know I'm not supposed to have it... But it was sooo good:-)

Yesterday I had a great day. Went to church then to visit my MIL at the hospital. Took a nap and felt great all day. This morning i feel terrible. Dizzy, nauseous, sore. I'm tired of sitting and hungry. Grumble!

[Thumper79 2]

Wow....you were able to have turkey? I heard turkey and chicken were basically a "you will never eat this again" food

Really? Unless you can't tolerate them, they are two of the densest and leanest Proteins you could eat.

I don't really know why? Heard from a few fellow sleevers. They could only do dark meat the others got stuck.

I got sleeved 8/12 and had some pureed chicken breast two days ago. Filled me up faster than anything else I've ate. We were taught that dark meat is generally easier to tolerate because its juicier, but you can do white meat if you can tolerate it. You just have to make sure to not overcook it as it dries it out and makes it tough. Same goes for beef. They also said to buy the more expensive cuts of beef as they have more marbling and are more tender.

Thanks for the info.....I thought I was pushing it trying fish almost 4 weeks out. Lol. Guess I wasn't. I just had some sliced turkey lunch meat. Soooooo good! So happy I have meats I can eat now!
