Late June Sleeve Buddies?

[Camber 30]

I'm supposed to be getting 90g of Protein a day but at 12 days out I'm struggling to get the Protein shakes down. I didn't mind them so much preop but now the flavor is gag inducing and everything else I've tried has been worse. After the first one I feel very full for the rest of the day. I'm only getting 25g a day. I know I need more. I get faint several times a day and my Dr. wants me to eat more to remedy that.

I'm a bit frustrated and hoping it will get easier. On the happy side, I have no problem getting my fluids in and I'm down 14 pounds since the surgery and 39 pounds overall.

My surgery was the 27th, I am supposed to be getting in 60-80g of Protein daily through liquids. I was able to start Protein supplements the day after surgery. My post op follow up is tomorrow and they will likely be advancing me to soft food/puréed food.

I'm dabbling in puréed food a few days early. I tried a little bit of hummus, but no chips, and mashed up a hard boiled egg. So far so good. It's been Almost five weeks since I had food between the liquid pre-op and post-op. I just felt so very weak. I'm ready to chew!

I'm day 9 post-op and since the surgery I've been having severe mood swings. I'm angry most of the times and feel like fighting with everyone. Anyone else with this problem? ??

Yes I do. Do not want to be around anyone. People drive me crazy quick. I'm hoping this passes

Me too. I had a soft scrambled egg today and a spoonful of hummus. Both went down fine, although I realized my new stomach only holds 3/4 of one egg. Weird thing is I find it much easier to drink Water now that I've had "food". I've gotten a lot more Water in today. And the egg and hummus improved my mood considerably.

I was able to eat the entire egg, but I felt full after I ate it. I feel so much more satisfied. I have no regrets, but I will probably take it slow for now.

I completely understand. Also going through so many emotions and completely regretful. I'm so incredibly weak and tired. I have zero energy.

I'm also very emotional.

I had my surgery on he 27th and started my full liquid yesterday. How much Protein are you guys getting a day or how much were you around this point of my process?

I too was sleeved on the 27th, I'm getting in close to 60g of Protein via shakes and powder protein plus I am having skim milk and chicken broth. Included I am getting close to 60 oz of fluids in (sigh my Soup, Water to mix with protein etc) . I swear it's all I am doing but I am determined to get my recommended amount in . I'm having no issues with getting Iquitos down what so ever.......craving real food like no body's buisness...I miss chewing

[chycky 671]

Stop talking about eggs So jealous! I would never have guessed I would crave an egg so much!

I had to do Isopure Water and Protein broth for first week post op because after one day I couldn't tolerate the shakes. I just got back on a morning Protein shake but still can't think about drinking vanilla yet.

My 2 week check in is tomorrow. I too have nibble a few small things. So far luckily no problems. I am 65 G Protein and that is hard. I can't imagine how one would get in 100g right now!

My surgery was June 29th, I have not stepped on the scale yet. I'm feeling better but still having pain to left side of my abdomen. I'm able to tolerate cream Soups and some of the Protein shakes. I also found an unflavored Protein Powder by unjury that gives 21g of Protein per scoop and I add to my Soups and drinks like crystal light or my other Protein Drinks. This helps to boost my Protein intake. How long those the pain last?

Hi. I'm 6 days post-op and I'm still on clear diet. I get hungry a lot. But the worst thing is I'm getting depressed a lot! !! What's wrong with me. I'm already on antidepressants but it's been 3 days I'm always either angry or sad.. anyone has the same problem?

[SunshyneRN 4]

I too take anti-depressants and have been struggling. At times I cry and other times I'm angry. It does get better a bit each day. I find if I go for a walk or keep busy it's better. I live near a lake and find the Water and fresh air comforting. I hope you feel better

[chycky 671]

Isopure unflavored is 25g per scoop good to know unjury is a favorite of some.

I had more pain in first few days, more discomfort that pain. Thankfully mood is only thing that I think is improved maybe because a bit tired at first. Now energy is good I agree with others moving is key. I have been doing some light cleaning/reorganizing that I have been putting off. I am not looking forward to return to office tomorrow though!

If its gas pain its going to come and go for a few weeks most likely but you are swollen from the surgery so that could last a few days. I hope you feel better soon. I was having pain too and took a little bit of tylenol liquid and I felt a lot better. Ask your doc
