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. 😉

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
