March sleeved buddies.

[LaTrisha R. Lake 36]

For those of you how are you doing on the liquid diet? How is it going for you

Hi, I was sleeved on the 16th, and am on full liquids. I was doing ok, but the last two days I've had bouts of loose stool, and bad gas. But, I'm still hanging in there. I need a pep talk, so I want to go to the support group at my local weight loss center. I'm so sick of drinking sweet things. I've started adding Soups but, I can't seem to get past another sweet shake, another sweet shake. Oh! I know, how about another sweet Protein Shake? No? How about a sweet Protein juice then? Lol. Tomorrow marks one week and I have no p,and to cheat or advance until the doctor or NUT says I can, but seriously...I want more savory before I scream!

I was sleeved 3/12 so I thoroughly understand... Since you are looking for some savory... Look for a Soup that is savory, butternut squash soup perhaps? The sweet, chalky Protein Shakes are killing me too... Try some unflavored Protein in a Tomato soup... I know this too will pass, but getting use to the changes in taste as a result from the surgery is a tough nut sometimes!

I was sleeved 3/16/15.

Lost 10 lbs so far since surgery. I'm on full liquids. I start pureed food on Thursday. I'm getting so sick of these super sweet Protein Drinks. Every Time I think of drinking another one I cringe!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery yesterday and am in the hospital recovering . My heaviest was 289 and after losting my inital 10, I went on to lose another 17 on the stage 2 diet. Yesterday I was 262 before surgery. I am sure I have dropped a few lbs just from not eating anything at all yesterday, but I'm waiting until I get home to weigh myself. I would love to be on the buddy page to share ideas, struggles, triumphs etc.

I was sleeved 3/16/15 too. I have my follow up appointment tomorrow. I've had no issues until last night when that dreaded left sided pain started.

[angelad83 1]

I am really tired of the shakes too. Sometimes the thought of drinking another one makes me sick. Lol. I keep trying to remind myself they are not for always.

[jhowell 11]

I wouldn't weigh yourself right away. You are still filled with gas, and IV fluids. I weighed 6lbs more 2 days post op.

This sucks lol. But it's worth it

I was sleeved on March 27th. I would love to keep in touch with others sleeved around the same time. I have a goal of 100 lbs. I am down 17 since surgery. No problem with nausea or pain. Some Constipation. I know I'm not drinking enough Water. I have been slowly adding new soft foods but seem to resort to a shake to keep my Protein up.

Sleeved on March 24th. Doing well but I too am getting tired of sweet shakes and Soup.< /p>

[Mayra21 3]

Sleeved march 27th as well im down 22lbs but i hate the shakes im soo over them but still getting them in and still need to get more Water in. I would also like to keep in touch with others since no one else really gets what im going through besides others who've done this procedure

[angelad83 1]

I've been adding flavorless Protein Powder to things so I don't need to rely on the shakes as much.

3 Weeks out now. Starting weight 289, weight before surgery 265, and am at 248 this a.m. It was a great feeling breaking 250 finally!

Things are going well, sick of shakes as well. I bought Protein shots online which are 38 grams of Protein, figuring at least I'd be getting a huge dose of protein. Maybe its the flavor I bought...Berry Frost, but truly, I'd rather eat my own ankle. It was disgusing. I am going to continue to use them but now know have a chaser of Water and hold my nose the whole time. I joined a support group through the hospital where I had my surgery and found out about the shots there.

I found out 1 week after surgery that when they tested my stomach that they took out (which I didn't know they did), that I have H. Pylori and am on 3 antibiotics which in addition to the Vitamin, B12, Calcium citrate, Iron is tought to have all that during they day. Still not sure why I wasn't tested for it before my surgery, would have been nice to have taken all the meds ahead of time instead of now when it is tough to swallow and makes me sick to my stomach.

All in all, still all worth it, just some little bumps.

How is everyone else doing now that we are hitting our 3 and 4 week marks...?
