I had a strange day yesterday... I took three different acid reducers cause I was having bad heartburn and doc told me a combo to try and bang it worked no heartburn but what replaced it was hunger(also the upset stomach feeling left) I ate a god awful amount yesterday slowly and over hours but I was allways hungry I don't get how I am four weeks out Monday and so far little if any problems eating just till now not hungry Breakfast -1 egg 1/4 cup cheese omelet shake 11oz 40g lunch baked tilapia 2 ounces 1 ounce potatoes Shake 11oz 40g dinner 2 chicken tenders baked and 3 carrots Snack five flat bread crackers with laughing cow cheese Is that to much I never felt pain or discomfort everything was nibbled on slowly.

Scared Of Post Op
I had mine 4/23 a Monday.......Thursday before hand I had a freak out night I didn't sleep I worried all night. But after that night I found myself at peace and focused on getting stuff done before hand, I never felt anything I used my morphine pump freely, I might have sleep with my finger on the trigger hehehe..... I was really surprised how comfortable I was after surgery, I walked sleep and drank protein....chicken soup unjury mix, and went home day three. I told my doc up font I want to stay as long as I can cause I know the good pain killers are in the hospital and wanted the rest and r&r. He made sure I had great pain meds and a qpump thingy that keep numbing meds on my inside so i never felt a thing inside but some sore muscles..... Just tell your doc your worries upfront and they will take good care of you... I m so glad I did this and keep comming here these people are truly amazing for friendship and info

I Miss My Food
I am feeling the same, I want pasta and pizza and omg just a blt or some cheese burger off my grill with all the topics onions tomatoes lettuce ect.... I want fried fish and chips and I miss so much each day is harder and I have stronger temptations I work hardto ignore them and focus on my shakes and couple bites of solids I can get down, I want a big bit of steak take a big bite and not chew it to death. The only thing that keeps me sane is seeing the scale drop daily and how far I've come.

Er For Fluids?
Well he talked me into staying home and helped me remember to drink when I slowed down ie forgot and I am doing great now I even am getting more than recomened and no long dizzy or foggy headed feeling so much better. I realized while protein drinks are good if I want lots of guilds just drinking plain water works best I love the stuff and drink a lot more of it than anything else if that is what's in my cup

Not sure if i am aloud fruit other than bananas yet- Shakes
Ideas tired of chocolate. Been making my body fortress with peanutbutter bananas and need new to try.- Is There Something Wrong With Me? I Have No Problem W/3-4 Oz
I think your fine I hit about 4 ounces per a meal since week two. I eat all kinds of stuff I started crackers this week, I have had bean burritos (ate the inside out) chilli, devised eggs and grilled perfectly so that it was tender and moist inside chicken and turkey. There is more but you get the point only thing I didn't like was when I made pudding and grabbedvtebone for the kid and got sugar.. Way to sweet- Horrible Pulling Pain
Try a heating pad. I had a similar pain, it was tight and the muscle was knotted up over my left incsion, I started using a heating pad a bunch and I am so much better off and moving better too- I Don't Regret The Sleeve Surgery, But....
- Er Fluids How Long
F you went to er for fluids how long did it take with the I've part- Rant On Men
I just have to say something I made this post 6 days out and three days home from surgery I was cranky and just moody I ended up breaking down later that night in the shower and things have been fine since. This is a women's room I figured most women would understand the need to vent emotionally only driven thoughts and frustrations my guy is wonderfully carrying and a great friend and parent to my son. He looks after us and has been cooking what ever I want and helping me a lot but in his own time with the dishes still.... Can't win them all lol- Er For Fluids?
So I get my recomened fluids of 64 ounces and 100 g Protein. I take all my vitems daily. I have been dizy since Friday and now I have had a headache for two days. I called my dr but he has been so busy and is over booked they say to just go to the er and get fluids. Problem is I know my man he will be worried even more about me and be more drink eat drink eat with me. And then he will feel pressure to make me better and not let me end up in the er again. I feel bad I don't want him to feel pressure like it is up to him to keep me healthy one that's my job and two sometimes things like this happen after this surgery itching could be done right? I was thinking about going to the er for guilds tommrow while he and the kid are at work/school and not saying anything.....but then if he finds out will be cranky I didn't tell him saying I am stubborn and need to let him take care of stuff....why can't he be like that about taking out trash and dishes lol I gusse the point is could I be dehydrated even if I am drinking what they say and should I go get fluids tonight or put off till tommrow I been feeling crappy since Friday. What's one more day- 2Nd Day After Sleeve
I buy isopure by the case one grape and one alpine punch add a squirt of mio fruit punch and grape to match and it is like koolaid i love it, Aldo for half the liquid and 35 g protein try protein power it is great comes in a can banna cream and chocolate are best. I do one isopure and one slim fast low carb and one power protein a day for all my protein I am allways drinking something before surgery so after want to make sure it counts, then at night I drink my water and eat a good dinner. Still of soft menu but got to have saltines today finnaly- On My Way.
Good luck I am sure you'll do great and enjoy your morphin pump I know I did.. I sleep great that first night next was good two but you know... Also I worried about liquid after surgery but honestly i was so un interested mentally in eating it didn't bother me. Nothing really has. Just drink your Protein and try the unjury chicken Soup if your hospital has it, I ordered that for every meal while in I could stand even the sweetness of sugar free stuff, I drank my soup and ate ice all day. Congrats it is the best hospital stay aide from becoming a new mom- Suggestions On Protein?
Slim fast ready to drink low carb chocolate is my favorite for Breakfast and lunch I have power Protein which has 35g for only 11ounces they are 3.45 a can at my Vitamin shop bannana cream and chocolate is good the Cookies and cream I couldn't drink. Then I sip on Isopure 40g thru the day. At 20 ounces. And 4$ bottle squeeze in one shot of matching flavor mio and it doesn't taste like Protein Drink just like koolaid. Then I have eggs for breakfast tune for lunch and then some sort of dinner tonight I made roast chicken with garlic and onion stuffed in the cavity and between skin then baisted every twenty cooked till just done but supper moist, sweet potato chucked tossed in olive oil red pepper chilli powder and pinch of salt and brown sugar roasted 45 min on 400 then made steamed carrots mine cooked all three baby ones till the were mush. I chew everything till it is nothingness before swallow and I have had no problems I am three weeks out and was alllowed saltines today yay! They went great with the tuna salad i made..... I can't wait for raw veggies! Btw I only had three baby carrots, 1 ounce of sweet potatoes and 2 ounces of chicken and it took me a hour to finish. I been working on eating slower between bites hoping to help heartburn... And I chew everything to nothingness. It felt so great to cook a real normal meal for us tonight. Next week I'll be a month out I can't wait- Dizy?
Am getting all vitems two Flinstones complete b complex b12 calciumx2 Biotin probiotic I get 80 grams Protein a day and 70-90 Water I am feeling dizy when I stand and I am tired a lot I am two weeks out any ideas- Motion Sick Post Op?
I never have had a week stomach even after getting my sleeve so I was surprised when today I had Wendy's chilli with a backed sweekpotato without toppings, I could only finish a few bites of each then back on the road we were on the highway 10 minutes and had to pull over I didn't get sick but came close it was like my stomach wanted to but didn't have the strength to. Any one else?- 2Weeks Out
I cheated...two weeks out..I ate cheese off pizza at a gathering to be eating with everyone and wanting solid food not just my isopure..... It went down easier and tasted great. I fact nothing has given me trouble, insides of a bean burrito, sauce and ricotta from inside lasagna yogurts cream soups and my fav laughing cow caso cheese so spicy!! But lentil soup tonight omg ouch why- Whats Everyones Vitamin Regimen ?
