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!

      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.
