Sleeved May 9. Since surgery lost 6lbs. I don't weigh every day cuz I am still bloated and distended. Between pre-op appt and surgery I lost 10lbs. Trying not to obsess about weight but instead focus on walking (only at 30mjns daily so far), Protein (getting in 20g-40g daily vs 50g goal), and Water (getting 25-50oz daily). More work to do.

Total loss 16lbs as of yesterday.

Sleeved May 12th, had a setback on May 13th (Dehydration) and ended back in the hospital for two more days. I am struggling to get all my fluids in let alone meeting any Protein goals.

I've been averaging 30g Protein but should get in more. Sources for me include Premier Protein shakes (split across the day), milk, using unflavored whey isolate powder in bream of wheat and sugar free instant Breakfast or Soups (1 scoop is 13.5g). Also I like Isopure Clear Zero drinks - ea 11oz bottle is 15g protein and a great way to get Fluid in at same time. Found on Nashua Nutrition site. Grape frost is best flavor.

For me I need variety and lots of it in small amounts. When I wake up I try to drink Water first - sipping 8oz water. Then I get ready / dressed and have a small something for breakfast with Protein (4oz milk, instant breakfast with whey, 1/2 premier shake, or a few tbsp of cream of wheat with whey powder). A little at a time adds up.

I was sleeved on May 10. Doing well so far. Had my one week followup with NP and NUT yesterday. I've been able to meet my Protein and Water goals but NP suggested increasing Water by 16 oz since I seemed dehydrated. (I had been meeting my 64 oz of water with 48 water and including 2 Protein shakes toward the total. This is allowed by my plan but they suggested trying for more water this week.) My typical day is as follows:

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury with 8 oz 1% milk 29g protein

Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt 15g

Premier Protein 30g

Snacks: SF Jello pudding, SF Jello, SF Popsicles.

I've been lucky to feel very little restriction or pain. I'm dealing with some head hunger and cravings but generally making it through pretty well.

Hi guys I was sleeves on May 11 and I'm doing OK I'm only getting about 30 ounces of Water and about 50 grams approaching. I really been trying hard to get in the Water and Protein but it's like I'm not even hungry nor do I feel like drinking. I also have applesauce and Jell-O for Snacks sugar-free of course. However i'm feeling very sluggish I'm also taking my Vitamins and I took a B 12 shot for my preop visit with the nurse. I'm really feeling dehydrated in on my postop visit tomorrow I'm gonna let them know.

      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.
