Just got sleeve 3 weeks ago



Recommended Posts

I just got the sleeve 3weeks ago my highest weight was 441 when I had my surgery weighed in at 421 after 2 weeks post op I was 390. I have to admit its a little harder than I expected it to be the hardest thing for me is that I'm a big drinker of Water and only being able to take sips drives me nuts I don't get hungry but sometimes I wanna eat what I see other people around me eating but I do have control I just feel at times I'm really tired and don't feel like myself anymore .

You are doing great! One day at a time with the Water...you'll be gulping it down before you know it.

Hang in there. It gets easier and eventually you'll be able to take normal swallows.

As everyone else has stayed, just hang in there, it does get easier.

Just remind yourself when you find yourself wanting something that isn't on your plan that it won't taste very good.

You are doing great!

The unflavored works good for me mixed with a flavor pack like hi-c or lemonade. I try to stay away from adding milk, to keep my calories down. I also do yogurt which gives you about 8-15 grams depending on what kind. sugar free Protein Bars. There's quite a few foods and drinks that'll get you there. You always have the community here to help!☺

It gets easier once you can eat more.

      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.
