April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?



Recommended Posts

I'm using Premier Protein shakes, Isopure zero carb ( in the glass bottle) and Cocotein (similar to Isopure but tastes a little better).

How much are you able to drink in one sitting as far as ounces go?

I'm able to get in between 10-15oz in one sitting (over probably 10-15 minutes). At first it was not easy to get that much in at all. But in the last couple of days I feel like the swelling has gone down a lot and it's easier to get more in.

I definitely feel like staying focused on drinking is going to be one of my struggles when I return to work. I'm usually not one to drink a bunch while at work... so I'm going to have to try to come up with a way to keep myself focused on it... because it seems that if you go too long without drinking it's really hard to catch up.

Sleeved 4/23, down 78 lbs! Feeling pretty good!

I am finding that when I lost weight slowly and was this weight I "felt" a lot thinner than I feel right now which is weird.

      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.
