Some feedback from others??



Recommended Posts

Hue everyone! I was sleeved 1/9/18. So it’s been almost 3 weeks. Things have been great until now- I just want some feedback on what other people think about the below based on their experiences

* my energy was good until 2 days ago. I’m thinking the lack of food and calories is finally taking its toll. I’m struggling to get all of my Protein in lately because I’m all of a sudden adverse to Protein Shakes. They make me gag so I’m relying on cottage cheese to get my protein in. Any suggestions? I’m struggling waking up, I need naps and I go to bed at 8...pretty lazy in between and this is SO unlike me.

* I’m in the purée phase- have 2 more weeks left and the only thing I can stomach is cottage cheese, yogurt, hummus and Clear Liquids. Any ideas for good food recipes puréed?

* my weight loss has stalled this past week. Once again I think it has to do with lack of calories- so little to burn so the above thoughts may solve this.

* Lasty, i can eat a whole 4 oz of purée at a sitting without issue. Could you guys eat this much? (The reason I’m struggling with the amount of protein is because after I eat this I am not hungry and forgot/don’t want to eat for hours).

I would just love to hear how things went for you guys on this. Maybe this will all go away once I can eat soft food??? Thanks! Ash

Ash, you are fine and on target. I was Protein Shake averted as well. Try clear like ready-made Isopure punch or blue raspberry mixed half n half with crystal light lemonade. For puree - try chicken or tuna salad or blended cream Soup with chicken. I still cannot tolerate chicken breast - I have to do thigh minced.

I had to take naps because i would suddenly hit a wall - bam - exhausted. It gets better in a month and is directly related to not enough calories, drink a glass of milk, get an ounce of tuna salad into you when you get tired, it makes a huge difference. And puree is not solid food so don't worry about restriction until solid or semi solid food. You might tolerate mild baked white fish. Hang in there, it gets better.

      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.
