7 Months out gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello,

haven't posted in a while, hopefully there are still some good Veterans around here who can reassure me.

Lately i've been noticing energy drops but also notice that I tend to get full faster? I mean I normally have cheeze string with about 8 cashews for snack. but this week I can only eat half of my cheese and nuts and I feel like I'm about to bust. Do fullness vary sometimes? should I be worried? I get the feeling it's like this for all my meals lately. 2 bites and I'm full

I guess my "feeling" drained is a result of that eating less. but this week I can't even get out of bed to go to the gym.

just worried a bit

How fast do you eat? I find that 2oz of Protein takes me about 60 minutes to consume. Add a vegetable and it bumps up to 90 minutes. Last night I was pressed for time because of a meeting and ate 1oz of salmon and 2 asparagus spears in about 40 minutes...I was uncomfortably stuffed even though it was half of my normal quantity intake. As for the feeling lethargic, I would recommend taking a look at WHAT you are eating and making sure you are focusing on high Protein, nutrient dense foods. Put good stuff in, get good stuff out. These are just my opinions and experiences.

Definitely something to mention to your surgeon. Any sort of "back sliding" is cause for discussion. (Not necessarily concern though, so don't panic!)

Are you still drinking Protein shakes? They might help get you more energy.

      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.
