Hiya! Sleeved August 12th



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I was sleeved on August 12th. Had a very good surgery and have had an easy recovery. I am on phase 2 liquids, switch to puree on Thursday. Anyone who can offer some good foods for stage 3 i would love to see them.

Thanks!!

Jessica

I was sleeved on the 13th of August. It's getting really old having liquids. I have been adding a few crackers with cheese and chewing the heck out of them and it has helped me with getting some Protein. So far I'm down 26 pounds including the 10 I lost on the "liver shrinking" diet. I am still hungry throughout the day which I didn't think would be the case. However, seeing the scale number drop is totally WORTH IT!!!! I even had a small amount of frozen yogurt (the kind that comes out of a machine) and it was AMAZING and I didn't have any issues with it.

I was sleeved on Aug 11th. Everything has been going well, except I'm soooo tired of liquids and Protein shakes! 2 more days and I move on to soft foods! I'm down 17lbs which is amazing for 2weeks. I have been walking 3miles daily and I think that has really helped. Looking forward to losing more!

Focus on the future and not the food. Popsicles, broth, popsicles broth lol! Thousands have been where you are LOL, and that is such a distant memory 9 months later. Just improvise, add spices, mush and puree. Do not get ahead of yourself with the food. This is a life changer, and the honeymoon period is over for me and I am now having to work really hard to try to lose more. But it is the best time for you so stay focused and keep busy, keep your mind off food. Take a walk, do anything. I am happier than ever in so many years and my life (and my husband) has changed drastically. Wishing you so much happiness.

      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.
