shortyvel 42 Posted January 10, 2016 I too had my sleeve on 1/5/16. I was home on Thursday. On Protein diet and liquids diet for one week then on soft foods the next week. Everything went well. I was nauseous and in pain for one day. The Meds helped a lot. By Thursday I felt much better. Today my fifth day I was out at Aldi's getting organic stuff to make my protein smoothies. I can drink about 64 oz of Water in 12 hours and two Protein Drinks in 10 hours. I try to have broth with my Vitamins so it won't upset my stomach. I have not weighted myself yet. Will do so on Sunday. But I know I've lost weight. The Victoria's Secret Pjs I got for Christmas wouldn't fit and now the pants is lose and feels comfy. Scars are healing well. I am not hungry but it could be the protein drinks. My Breakfast one almond milk and is filling with Protein Powder. A little Greek yogurt to change up a little.

Just curious what other's are experiencing for stomach capacity with their newly sleeved stomach; after two weeks I really have no problem knocking back an 11 oz Protein shake, ditto for broth etc. My biggest problem is remembering to drink Water during the day at work, I rarely do though I am trying to drink a couple bottles a day while working. I really have no problem drinking...just remembering and making myself do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fat2Phat2016 541 Posted January 11, 2016 Just curious what other's are experiencing for stomach capacity with their newly sleeved stomach; after two weeks I really have no problem knocking back an 11 oz Protein shake, ditto for broth etc. My biggest problem is remembering to drink Water during the day at work, I rarely do though I am trying to drink a couple bottles a day while working. I really have no problem drinking...just remembering and making myself do it. I didn't have any problem drinking Protein drinks or broth. But can only eat a half of cup or less of real food. It has been very restrictive which is good. Down about 43 pounds in 5 weeks. ???? I do have trouble drinking Water because I stay so full for so long after eating and don't feel like drinking up to two hours after eating sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
