Jchoate 1 Posted July 20, 2016 Hi my name is Jessie! I'm 23, my pre op weight was 230. I was sleeved on July 14th. I'm feeling really good. )Not sure if I'm getting enough Protein and fluids through out the day.) But other than that I'm great. I've been creepin' as a guest for a little over 6 months just trying to figure out what I was getting into. Thanks for that! hoping to get some support and tips for this 30 liquid diet time. I'm over everything already. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missblonde20 72 Posted July 20, 2016 I can relate -I am 2 weeks post op. It's going to be so worth it though!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Destinee_1 16 Posted July 20, 2016 I'm new to the site too. I got sleeved on the 12th. I am at the docs now about so see if I have lost any weight. I threw out my scale last year and managed to loose 25lbs pre op from 237lbs and 5'0... I'm over the Protein Shakes I think I need to switch things up or something.

Jchoate 1 Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah I'm 5'0 and I weighed about the same at my surgery date! And I just can't drink the Protein shakes they suck. But I need something, what were you drinking? And how much? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm over everything already. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was sleeved on the same day as you! I am 33 and my SW was 252 (After losing 15 lbs on the pre-op diet). I feel like my Protein intake is going extremely well, so I want to share the things I'm using. 1)Every morning I start the day with 2 servings of ProtiDiet Hot Cocoa. 30 g 2) I use Premier Protein (cheap at Costco). I use vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, but chocolate tastes the best. 30 g. 3) another shake type protein I use is Muscle Pharm's Combat Cookies n cream powder. Best powder I've had. Also from costco. 25 g. 4) powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored powder. I buy this through my dr. It works very well in chicken broth! I made Jell-O shots with it too, but they were a little weird. 21 g. 5) ProtiDiet juice concentrates. These are by far the most "normal" tasting Protein Drink I've tried. Very easy to drink! 15 g. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jchoate 1 Posted July 22, 2016 Awesome! Thank you so much! I did purchase a Protein shake that is 25g a bottle it takes me most of the day to finish it but it is very tasty.

How long do you wait between bites? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Between bites of solid food? I don't really time it. I just chew, chew, chew until there's nothing left to chew. I make whatever I am eating take 20 minutes. Right now I only eat 3 Tbsp, and I've only tried scrambled egg, cottage cheese, pimiento cheese, and tuna with mayo. My diet only allows Proteins for the first 2 months. How's your pain? Most of my gas pain is totally gone, but I've got a spot under one particular incision on the left side that still hurts pretty bad. It's like a stabbing pain that goes through my back. It only hurts when I'm in a bent position though, so laying flat and standing is almost painless. I can't sit though, and it's frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jchoate 1 Posted July 22, 2016 Not gas pain at all, I haven't taken pain meds since Wednesday I have a slight pain on my left side incision when I bend down. But other that that I'm good. My diet doesn't allow me to eat anything, liquids only ugh! I'm not hungry at all but I know I need some Protein.
