September Sleever-Protein Help



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I had the sleeve done on September 30th and it has been so hard for me to keep down the Protein requirements because I am always full. Two baby spoonfuls of tuna is about all I can manage. Anyone have any ideas to help me as I am trying to transition to the soft/purée food stage based on the goals my nutritionist gave me?

Welcome to the forums.

I am not a sleever, but at your stage things are not that different as you are just working to get past surgery.

This may be tough for the first few weeks. Just keep doing as well as you possibly can. Keep pushing to do just a bit more, and eventually you'll get where you need to be.

Soft/Puree you will get tons of options. I pureed my favorite Proteins. Thai chicken, chicken alfredo (very light on the alfredo), Mongolian BBQ. It's amazing how they still taste great pureed.

Hopefully your Doc/Nut also gave you ideas and concepts of foods you should eat. Our Docs/Nuts may not agree with your Doc/Nuts, best to follow your plan.

Good Luck and keep plugging away.

Thank you so much for your advice and I will continue to try daily and yes, definitely trying different options and will continue to try until I reach the goals. 😉

      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.
