Need some advice



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Jennifer i am new here. I had my gastric sleeve surgery done on September 11th of 2018. Well since this stay in home thing, i have gained some weight and i am not liking it one bit. And my husband is home all the time now since his disability got approved, and i dont like doing things in front of people no matter who they are including my mom, i am weird i know. But my question is how can i lose weight, should i do high Protein Drinks for a week and nothing else or should i do the post op steps all over again?

I agree with the above posters. I'd just start really monitoring what you're eating. Start logging your food again if you're not already doing that, and try to figure out how many calories a day you're averaging, and then cut back from there. Gradually. As in cut out 100 calories a day for awhile. After a couple weeks, if nothing's happening, then cut by another 100. Rinse and repeat.

also, go back to what you were doing the first year, once you were a few months out - as in Protein first, then veggies - and then, if you still have room, maybe a small serving of fruit or whole-grain carbs.

      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.
