Sleeve on 7/29 (or close), how are we doing?



Recommended Posts

Surgery on 7/29. Am on liquid diet, plus Protein Drinks. Suppose to do this until 21 days. I would like something more before then, some yogurt or watered down outmeal. Wanted to see where others that were sleeved around the same time is with their diet.

I was sleeved on 7/31 and I am feeling fantastic! I was feeling great the day after surgery and have had zero complications so far. I walk a lot, am getting 60-70g of Protein a day. I'm just working on upping my calories since I'm on the low end still and trying to drink as much Water as possible.

I'm on Protein shakes and broths mixed with unflavored Protein. Not sick of them yet, I'm stocked up and ready for my puree stage. Looking forward to a little more sustenance.

I was sleeved on 7/29 as well. I start my stage 2 diet on Thursday where I can eat eggs, fish, soft cooked veggies. I'm assuming all surgeon diets are different. I was able to have 1tb spoon of oatmeal during this stage, besides my Protein Shakes and broth.< /p>

I start stage two after 2 weeks. So this coming weekend I'll start easing into them. I'm taking it slow to avoid any complications and to get the maximum weight loss. I don't want to ruin this lol

Let me know how stage 2 goes, my dr does not move to stage 2 until 21 days. Let me know what goes down easy and what did not go so well.

Are you doing any sort of physical activity? If you are staying mostly sedentary that could affect it, or you may be shrinking and just not having the lbs come off. Up your activity and see what happens

That's great! Maybe try to break it up into a few walks throughout the day. Every bit helps.

You and I were sleeved on the same day. I still have 6 more days of liquid diet left before moving to the soft foods stage. I cannot wait.

      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.
