Newby - 2 weeks out



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve two weeks ago today and I am feeling great. Just started to look around online today and found these forums, lots of interesting topics and I am amazed at how different everyone's stories are. My story started Dec 1 with cutting out carbs and sugar, then 3 weeks out started the clear liquid diet. Doing ok, but I can't wait for some food to chew. I am now 2 weeks out from surgery, still doing Clear Liquids and have another 2 weeks before I move onto puréed food. I cannot wait for a creamy soup! To date I am down 46 lbs ???? I was down 31.5 before surgery, put on 7 lbs during surgery and have since lost another 14.5 lbs in the two weeks following surgery. I am excited for this journey. I have been feeling good, hungry, tired but luckily not too much pain or nausea but today my right hand side, the incision by the belly button that they stretched out to get my stomach out is killing me. I feel like I have done about 1000 stomach crunches. I'm hoping to ride through the pain and wake up tomorrow feeling better. I'm wondering if it was getting in and out of my car today ... I may of overdone it.

      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.
