Recommended Posts

Time sure does fly !! I had my sleeve 4 weeks ago today. I was lucky that my recovery was quick and painless. The hardest part so far, is getting all my fluids & Protein in. I am getting there though. I just don't feel like eating so I do two Protein Shakes per day and a few small 3oz drinkable yogurts. I manage a few bites at lunch anda few bites at dinner (all protein, of course) I have a food and Fluid journal. I also track my BP daily since mam on meds for High BP. I am happy with the amount of weight I have lost and so happy I made this life changing decision. Wishing everyone well !!

Hi Shelly. I was sleeved 8/18 so tomorrow is my one month. Our diets sound very similar! I'm never hungry.

Just wondering if you experience nausea? Around week 3 I started getting random nausea, but two days it was SO BAD that I only had one Protein shake those days.

I'm hoping this doesn't happen while I'm at work! Returning to work on Wednesday.

Hello to all the 8/17 sleevers (and 8/18 :)

I can't believe a month has gone by either! Last year at this time I was unhappy with my weight and wondering what I would be able to do to get to a weight I would be happy with. I was wearing a size 22W, and just miserable. I could never have imagined that in March I would call the bariatric center and start this process and be ONE MONTH out at this time! I'm halfway to my goal...and I'm so thankful.

Everyone seems be doing so well! Keep it up!

      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.
