My gastric sleeve story! Surgery on 12/5/17



Recommended Posts

Your highest weight and goal weight is similar to mine. I’m glad you feeling normal again. It’s a long road but definitely worth it! I’m almost 4 months out and down to 168 from a highest weight of 235, my surgery weight was 218 so we are really close to the same weight loss. I wish you the best on your journey! It’s exciting times ahead for you! Not to mention it’s so much more fun shopping for clothes! Sale racks and thrift shops are my friends! Take care!

Hey. Your numbers sound awesome! I am exited about the journey. I ate tuna today and it was a mistake OH THE NAUSEA!!! But is a trial and error thing I have to relearn how my tummy works.

I'm very surprised that your doctor is allowing you to eat all those Proteins, my diet from week 1-2 will consist of pretty much of liquids except for cream of wheat made very thin with skim milk. Then on weeks 3-4 start on pureed food, then on week 5 I can start having some chicken and turkey but it still has to be pureed, and finally after 8 weeks I should be able to start eating normally.

      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.
