Maybe pick up some flavorless Protein Powder and add it to your broth. Extra Protein and will fill you up for a portion of the day. Or drink protein waters, I used Protein2O. SF Jello and SF ice pops were a life saver as well. Good luck to you.

Hi, I also had my sleeve done on 8/6 I saw my doctor yesterday and only lost 7lbs I have 2 shakes a day and Water I also have broth, Jello & popsicles. I wonder if my body is in starvation mode. I hear you about the veggies. I have baby carrots in the fridge I want one!


I don’t see my doctor again until 9/5. I see my nutritionist 8/21 and I’m excited about that. On my home scale I’ve lost 13 pounds or so. TMI:Are you pooping okay? I poop everyday and I notice I drop weight when I get my Protein in as scheduled.

Wait, you're starving? Actually eating solid food is the last thing I'd be interested in. I have to force myself to even drink Water or broth..

I was sleeved 8/1. I started pureed on the 11th. Saw my surgeon yesterday. I told him in the Morning I scramble an egg with a tiny bit of cheese and then add 3 Small dinner spoons of Low fat cottage cheese . I eat half for Breakfast and then the other half at lunch. Throughout the day I'll have a few sugar free popsicles maybe one sugar free pudding and then in the evening if I'm hungry about 4 spoons of refried Beans. He told me I'm eating too much

Depends on your surgeon's plan, some are ready for,it, some aren't. Your doctor probably tailors his advice to your need. A blanket Yes or No can't be given on here.

Is chocolate Protein Shake ok post op 6 days out?
I was given premier chocolate shake the day I woke up from surgery. It was okay for me but your nutritionist will know best.

During liquid I ate:

Yogurt, blended Soups, Jello, sugar-free popsicles, Fairlife milk (has WAY more Protein than regular milk and no lactose), chicken broth, sugar-free pudding

It's rough - but it's really a pretty short amount of time. I just graduated to pureed diet and that transition is going slowly. My new tummy doesn't like some of the foods. I didn't digest pureed ground turkey well...at all.

It is definitely a lot of trial and error!

Best of luck to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
