What Amount Can You Eat After Sleeve?
JentryB2020 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
What's a typical meal look like for you after the sleeve? 1/4 cup? 1/2 cup? 1 cup? Just a couple bites? Or more like 15 bites? How long do you wait to drink before or after? -
Do Sleevers Absorb Alcohol Faster?
JentryB2020 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
My hubby has a bypass. Half a glass of wine, and he is drunk. Is this true for sleeves as well? -
I was told no soda for six weeks after surgery. I had a band for six years, so I'm used to not having soda. So even though my Dr allows it, I don't drink it.

What Is Everybody Having For Lunch?
JentryB2020 replied to Lauranbob Mc's topic in Food and Nutrition
I had cauliflower crust pizza! -
I'm released this Friday to regular foods. Just curious how long you waited for foods that I think might be painful. Did you react to them when you did? What foods are difficult, and I should wait on?

Oh cool. I was on 7-13. -
The breath test shows how many calories you burn a day on average. It's an estimate of your metabolism.

Is The Band That Bad?
JentryB2020 replied to SleeveandRNYchica's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The band was that bad for me. No matter how tight or loose it was, I vomited and choked every night. I would wake up covered it puke, I was refluxing in my sleep severely. I didn't have a slip either. I would quit eating or drinking 2 hours before bed, and it still happened. I couldn't eat much of anything, unless it was buried in sauce or gravy. I hated every minute of it. -
I'm on soft foods. How much should I eat at each meal? What do you average. I'm worried I eat too much sometimes. I've never thrown up or had pain. Just don't want to stretch and gain.

This diet is to shrink the liver. Cheating risks your surgery having dangerous complications, or even not being completed. Time to get serious. The post op diet is much harder, and longer time.

Mine was 2 weeks of protein shakes, sf jello, broth, and raw veggies.

Curious- What Is Everyone Elses Diet Post-Op?
JentryB2020 replied to GoState's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One week clear liquids. Four full weeks of full liquids. Then regular foods. Not sure why my Dr skips the soft food phase?? -
Just had to share my excitement. I was sleeved 3.5 weeks ago after having a crap band for 6 years. I love having a drink at night, anytime, laying down, and not waking up choking on vomit. This was my fear with a sleeve. It doesn't happen to me. Sooo happy. It's the little things!

I Love Having Water At Night Again!
JentryB2020 replied to JentryB2020's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I puked non stop though for six years. Despite not eating or drinking two hours before bed, I always woke up choking on my own vomit. I want to yell from the rooftops, "Don't get the lap band!". The pregnancy only made it much worse. It was bad for the entire six years though. I lived on greasy Mexican food covered in cheese, pasta in sauce, or anything in gravy. Healthy! Not. -
I Love Having Water At Night Again!
JentryB2020 replied to JentryB2020's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My revision was done about 9 months apart. I lost my band at 19 weeks pregnant. I swelled inside and out. That made my band close off, despite being empty. Total nightmare. I had a healthy baby 18 weeks later. Thank God. When baby turned six months, I went back for the sleeve. The Dr didn't mention anything about scar tissue at all. -
I Am So Lost On Post Op Diet. Please Help.
JentryB2020 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved july13. No complications. I did clear for 4 days as instructed. The rest of it is confusing me. What do I eat now? My drs papers are so vague. I'm scared of hurting myself. What do you eat 3 weeks out? -

The papers say anything from oatmeal, to soup and crackers?? Like one cracker drowning in soup? Thin watery oatmeal? I just don't want to screw up. -

That's one big problem. They didn't give me a NUT. Not sure why not. -
When did your dr have you add soft foods? My drs post op phase is 4 days clear, then 5 weeks of full liquids and soft foods. I'm so confused. I'm 15 days out of surgery. No complications. That just kind of leaves it wide open as what to try, and when. What did you do?

Thank you for responding. I don't get many responses. Not sure if I am posting in the wrong forum or what?? Anyhow, I appreciate it.
