Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Thanks Aniraclre for posting this! I am scheduled to go back tomorrow as I had my surgery on 3/7. I have the same concerns about eating at work, so if anybody has any suggestions I would be grateful!

Travel peeps! I took my first trip today and it was an easy day trip NYC-Toronto. I brought a shaker bottle with Protein Powder that I filled up with Water upon arrival as well as one of these Mama Chia pouches. They are 3.5 oz which is great because you can take them through security. Have an over night trip coming up next week to Vegas and am a little more concerned. Will keep ya posted on what I figure out! Sleeved 3/12.

Good to here someone else still has ab pain...I was beginning to think it was just me.

Not just you. My 6 incisions are painful, particularly the right side. They are just starting to itch a little bit. My sleeve was 3/16.

Omg! I am so sensitive to smells now. I’ve always been a little sensitive, but cooked foods literally make me nauseated now.🤢

I am noticing the same thing with certain smells. My hubby made burgers for lunch yesterday and I asked if he could eat them on a different floor of the house because the smell made me sick. I heard this will pass soon.

Food smells aren't making me sick. They're just kind of pleasant now and don't trigger hunger like they used to. I think though that I am ready for actual food. I'm sick of Liquid Protein. This next week is going to be a long one.

Just an hour flight in and out. I thought of it like a long commute. I feel mostly normal except mild abdominal pain when I move from sitting to standing and the fact that I can’t eat actual food. Hitting fluid/protein goals helps a lot as well as the belly binder. Also, I’ve been taking small walks every few hours since surgery which totals almost 3mi/day. I think all of these factors are helping with a speedy recovery.

OMG, do I agree. I am really ready to move on to mushy food but my surgeon says 2 weeks of Protein Shakes -- and i just started those today. How are we gonna do this?!?!?

We'll make it because this is a rite of passage: something we must do.

Good point, sigh. If I could do a week with diluted apple juice, I can do this, too.

Hey guys!! I had my follow up with my Specialist today. They did a body composition and showed how much not getting all my Protein in was hurting my body post surgery. [emoji21] My body is using my muscle for energy!!! Not my fat reserve. So I've decided to get serious. This little cup is what my body can tolerate at one time. That's 2oz. I mean- I feel like I could eat that in one bite BEFORE. What are some of your go to protein favs that you'd like to share? [emoji173]️

I’ve been doing fat free retried Beans with little bit of salsa and little bit of low fat shredded cheese. Also made ricotta bake which is really good. It’s lasagna without the noodles! I’ve also done tuna with low-fat mayo and pickle relish(sounds weird but is pretty good to)!

Ricotta bake sounds tremendous!!! Where did you find that recipe?

      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.
