Had the sleeve this past Monday.



Recommended Posts

Also sleeved Monday
I feel like fluids I could suck down a solid 4-8 ounces in one shot.
Protein has been a struggle, fills me up incredibly quickly. So I've been cutting down on many of my clears to go full effort on protein.
I get really full and some pain in my stomach (usually short-lived lasts for 1-5 minutes max )
Then I just back off consuming anything for a good 45- hour and try again.
I probably got close to 40g/day of protein the last 2 days, think I'm on track for 60g today which is right where I wanna be

I wish I could say the liquids or Proteins fill me up. Lol..i seem to be able to drink all I want

A couple of things I learned after my surgery on 8/24/17...

Sometimes, the hunger pains aren’t actually from hunger, but from thirst. Make sure you are getting enough Clear Liquids, but take small sips over a period of time, not big swallows. That hurts!

Try to remember, your surgeon removed 80 percent of your stomach through a very small incision, so pain is normal. Really normal. I had more than a few “What the heck was I thinking?” moments for the first few weeks after surgery. Why did I even do this? My recovery was hampered by an extended hospital stay and extreme blood loss resulting in transfusions and major weakness and fatigue.

Also, don’t worry if you can’t get all your food in right away. You’ll be able to eventually. Take baby steps! More important to get your liquid in at first. I’m three months out now and although I get full super quickly, I feel great and am pretty much eating a regular diet. It’s definitely a process.

Good luck, everyone! You’ve got this!

      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.
