Sleeve meals at phase 4



Recommended Posts

What is everyone eating at the life long eating stage of the sleeve diet. I was sleeved on July 18th. Lost 35 lbs after surgery and up to this stage. Now nothing. I'm getting bad headaches and I normally do not get them. I'm hungry al the time. I eat all my Protein and am having trouble with carbs. Carbs are in every thing. I use fitness pal to track my meals. I need more of a variety other than protein and vegetables and Benifiber. Where is the Fiber in this diet. They tell me no Cereal. I don't understand. Thanks for your responses. Debra

I was sleeved on the same day. I'm still on the soft phase. When did you move to regular foods? Are you still drinking Protein Shakes. I cannot move to regular foods for another two weeks.

I was also sleeved July 18th. I've lost 40lbs, but this past week I am at a stand still. I have been released to eat anything I can cut with a fork. Doing better each day. Still feel I eat only Protein. By the time I get my 1/4 cup of protein in, I can't eat anymore. I still do my shake in the am, but did try a protein bar yesterday. It did real well.

My fourth week was soft foods week three four and five... I wasn't released to eat anything until week six. I never worried about Protein until then. I just ate what I could three meals a day. Since week six I have been using my fitness pal and I stick to protein mostly salmon boiled egg whites... I give the yolks to my three dogs.. Hah steak once in a while tuna with light mayo and a spoon full of relish. P3 packs... I limit my carbs to 50 or under a day. Once in a blue moon I go over but not often. A typical day for me is three boiled egg whites for breakfast... 4oz of tuna and 2oz of fat free cottage cheese with pineapple for lunch and 6oz of salmon for dinner. Probably a Greek yogurt for a snack between lunch and dinner. I never eat until 1/2 hour after my last sip of liquid and I wait one hour after to drink again. I also have a pure Protein Bar once in a while when I get a sweet tooth. Or some watermelon! I have made turkey burgers from scratch they are yummy! I almost always try and map out my day ahead to make sure my fitness pal pie chart is where I want it! Haha I have it set at 800 calories 45% protein 30%fat and 25% carbs.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
