February 3rd Sleevers

[Jazmundo 58]

Jazmundo- out of curiosity do you know what size bougie your doctor used? Mine used a 40. I also go a few steroid injections during my inpatient stay to keep down inflammation. Sorry you are struggling.

I'm not sure but I have tons of inflammation and I'm on high dose steroids. I've been able to get two Protein shakes and a small amount of mushies. Hopefully I can avoid the feeding tube tomorrow.

Oh and I developed a stricture very early so I'll need that dilated at 4 weeks post op

In the mornings I'm not really hungry but from 12:00 on - forget it!! I'm worried that I'm not going to lose cause I'm so hungry. For dinner I ate a cup of Progresso Light Clam Chowder. I didn't feel full so I had some snack Pak Fat Free pudding. I still felt hungry so I started to drink another Protein Shake but after 1 sip I didn't think I would be able to get it down so I put it away. That was an hour ago. I'm feeling hungry again but I don't want to eat after 7:30 at night so I keep sipping Water

I had surgery 2/4/15 and still can not get all my Protein in. I go for my first follow up in 2 days so we will see what they say

[Jazmundo 58]

I have a follow up today that I'm nervous about. I really don't want a feeding tube. I've been getting my 60 grams of Protein just not my Water. Pray for me please!

I will pray for you Jazmundo. Having a feeding tube sounds awful, I hope you can avoid it.You are doing great with your Protein intake, so good job there!

I am moving on to purees today, sounds like nursing home food, however, my surgeon said I will probably like this phase (I am on it for 3 weeks) as there is more variety and flavor.

Best wishes for your appointment today!

[Jazmundo 58]

Thanks so much I appreciate that!

I was sleeved on 2/2 and get three Protein shakes in the day three small meals about 6 teaspoons each and it's usually Soup and maybe 20 ounces of Water I am really struggling with the Water.< /p>

Jazmundo I am really sorry you're still having problems.

Jazmundo, how did your appointment go?

I was supposed to have my 2-week follow up with my nut today. Since I had my surgery 7 hours away, my nut was just going to call me, but she never did. I've been feeling extremely weak, but now that I just started soft foods and will start Vitamins tomorrow, I hope that feeling will subside.

How have you been doing?

How's everybody doing? I am 35 pounds down since 2/3/15. Starting weight was 215. Now at 175!

[LSF 264]

Lucky you!! You're doing better than me. I'm only down 24 pounds and mine was 2/4th

[borg/assimilated 576]

I am down 37 pounds, 27 since surgery on 2/3/2015. I am really amazed at how well I've adjusted so far to the tiny tummy.
