Considering gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hi all. New to this. Considering gastric sleeve surgery next year and have a couple of questions to ask before I make my final decision.

1. How do you combat the feeling of wanting to eat when bored? This is my biggest problem.

2. Has anyone had their surgery with a young family (bubs would be around 6 months)? How did you get on?

Any support would be much appreciated

Thanks so much

After the surgery many don't have an appetite, and if you do (like myself), you'll find it easier to reach for healthy foods and well, you won't be able to eat more than 2-3 oz before getting stuffed. After surgery, it's a good time to learn good habits since you have a great tool.

I don't have kids so I can't help you there. ^^

You have to find things to replace boredom eating. You really need to work that out before surgery. Surgery won't stop you from boredom eating.

I don't have a physical appetite but I still have cravings and tastes. Mostly for healthy foods but sometimes for not so healthy foods. That is something I have to mentally work through. Surgery doesn't help with that. It will support you in making good choices but you have to want to make good choices.

Good point, better to deal with it before than after if it's a real problem. :)

Oh and I didn't think about those who don't stick to the rules because I'm pretty good about it. One can always eat around the sleeve (candy, Cookies, milkshakes... Etc.). Are you committed to starting with Protein first once you get to the solid food stage?

Will be a good idea to speak to nuitrionist regarding BF options if your going too consider WLs - people are advised here to wait til either stop BF and move to follow on milk or wait til a year and weaning so they can drink milk instead. Research and basic common sense is that reduced goodness can affect production.

      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.
