What to expect after a ur with sleeve



Recommended Posts

Still trying to figure it out. Lost 125 so far & still dropping sizes. Sometimes I can do some food, less portions, more exercises... Just saying it's all inconsistent & believe me I'm not complaining, but this post is for the vets to explain expectations of weight loss surgery.

If you could be a little more specific about what kind of information you need, that might help us help you! Is the inconsistency in your diet, exercise routine, or something else?

All of the above.

Ok, but with the little information you have given me, I'm not sure what it is you need. For me, I have been recommended by my NUT the 2-3-2 plan. I eat within 2 hours of waking, then every 3 hours, then within 2 hours of going to bed. Diet is Protein first, then low carb. Little if any sweets/breads/starches.

Drink at least 64 ounces of fluids a day.

Exercise for me is minimal (at least "planned" exercise), which I know I need to correct, but right now I am so busy with dealing with my husband's cancer, I don't find a lot of spare time OR energy for it. It'll come, in due time.

Consistency is up to you. If it would help, write in a journal what it is you are doing, and correct the inconsistencies that way. YOU are the only one who can do that. Write down your caloric intake, weigh/measure your food, have a schedule for when to exercise and stick with it, get a guideline from your NUT. All of these should help you form a consistent plan.

We all will fall off of a plan; getting back on is difficult, but not impossible. I hope this helps a little!

      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.
