Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing with cravings? I had my surgery Monday and am salivating over the food channel and thinking about what foods I'll have when I can have more than Protein shakes and cottage cheese..

Sleeved 9/12/16

I'm in the exact same place - warm liquids are easier. Got maybe an ounce of Protein shake in. Good luck!!!

Surgery on Thurs (9/15) went well, although I had a terrible time with nausea and dizziness. I have 4 anti-nausea meds and a scope patch, and they still had to put something in my IV once I got up to the room. Friday I started walking and thought I was doing OK. A little discomfort, maybe some hardness in my abdomen, but I thought this was just from surgery. Then my blood pressure went to 180/85! Nurse had me take a pain pill and my bp started dropping. Who knew I was in pain and didn't recognize it! Anyhow I got my walking in and have had no trouble drinking my liquids. I was in the hospital from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon, and I'm glad I could stay that long. Now I just have to rest, walk, and sip. Seems easy after coming through surgery!

Hi. I was sleeved on the 6th. Recovery was way more intense than I anticipated. I won't lie. I have regrets everyday and feel depressed. I hope that changes.

Almost 2 weeks out. Still sore. Still on liquid diet.

Only lost 5 lbs. Disappoiunted.

Good luck to you on your journey.

I think some people's bodies go into shock. Weight loss doesn't happen because they go into starvation mode. Stay the course, I'm sure it will come!!

Thanks, and believe me, I am starving, which is probably why I am not losing weight. I hate every single food on my list right now. Right now I just hate everything- I hate feeling sore, I hate the time I have taken away from my young son because I have been recovering. When I think about how I let a surgeon take 85% of my stomach out, I want to throw up. It seems so barbaric. I wish I had tried harder to lose this weight on my own or love myself no matter what what size. I wish I could rewind time and cancel my surgery. Plus my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer recently and I just couldn't have done this at a worse time.

I'm really struggling.

I'm sorry. My mom has breast cancer, it was part of the reason I got so overweight. It sucks.

I loved myself at my size, but knew it was bad for my health - tired of not being able to park on the 4th and 5th floor of the parking deck and having to worry about getting back up the stairs, tired of the plantar fasciitis pain in my feet.

I'm sure it gets easier. ❤

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a rotten time I'm curious to know what sort of preparation you had before surgery? I hope things improve for you soon

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
