Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Okay guys. I need HELP!! I am nearly 2 weeks post op (Tuesday) and I am having the WORST time getting Protein in. I'm supposed to be aiming for 48 grams and I'm lucky to get 10. Any of my Protein Shakes, unflavored Proteins, warm Soups just make me nauseous- INSTANTLY. I have found frozen yogurt Proyo that has Protein and is cold, but I can't live on that [emoji30]. I'm exhausted, weak and CRAVING chicken salad-the goupy stuff. I'm ready for the next level, but I'm not cleared yet. What are some things yall are doing to meet your Protein goals?

I had a hard time getting in the protein and 64 oz of fluids. My dr told me the Premier Protein counts as liquid and protein. So if I drink 2 of those a day it 60oz protein and 22oz "water" then all I have to worry about is another 53 oz of Water. That took me all day to get in the first few days. If that's tolerable anything extra eaten is a bonus. Yesterday I had some fat free refried Beans mashed up with some salsa. I've tried a little bit of low fat ricotta cheese. Little by little you will get there

Thank you for your encouragement! I wish I could drink Premier Protein shakes. I can't have anything with sucralose, as I'm allergic, but I am sipping on a vanilla shake with milk. If I can finish it, it will be 27 grams of protein!! I like your other options too, mouthwatering!!

Hit the losers bench on 3/15. Had to stay an extra night in the hospital and was sent home with my drain still in. Can't wait to be rid of the little appendage! Hope to get it out next Wednesday. If I hold still I am not in any pain but if my tummy muscles are engages...still pretty ouchie! I am having no trouble with Water but all food seems pretty gross right now. We will see what tomorrow brings!

Congrats!! I didn't have a drain. Wowsers!!! Some foods are still yucky to me, but I am really doing well with super cold stuff! Maybe I'm Iron deficient??

So who's up for surgery this week? Are you ready/excited/scared?

I'm scheduled Wednesday... however, I am on East Coast and not sure what this storm is going to do. DC is showing to be right in its path...

Well --a bright thought is: you may not have to use Uber or Lyft to get to the hospital, the wind might just blow you there!! Hasn't this been a crazy late winter on the East Coast? Might blow the Cherry Blossoms right off the trees and I had been hoping Spring would finally come, and come in softly Good luck to you, Purple Sleeve..[emoji14]

Day 7 Clear Liquids: soooo ready for a Protein shake!! Soooo sick of "sweet". But I've busted through the last of the surgery Water weight gain and I'm officially a loser now, so there is that! :D

My abdominal tenderness improves every day, but the incisions itch like crazy. I'm drinking 2 ounces of Clear Liquids at a time now, every 24 minutes over 12 hours -- its an all-day job!

Best wishes for safe, uneventful surgeries this week, peeps!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
