littleperson?

I don't have the hunger feeling as well ( sleeved at 7) but I notice that today others' food bother me l WANT IT with my eyes. no idea why. I am not hungry and so far I am good at warm stuff going down. the chicken broth is my favorite. another one what is going ok is chamomile tea. I tried it today and it was fine. Today was the first day when I think I was able to keep down 64 oz. 50g Protein from shake and I hope another 10 from chicken broth. ( anyway I will drink more shake at night) I had 5 oz of tea and I think 10oz of chicken broth.

Scorp I was sleeved on Sept 4 and I feel the same way I'm not hungry but watching my friends and family eat is killing me!!! I lost 12lbs since the surgery. I eat and suck on Sonic ice and use the Mio, Propel Zero, Crystal Light, Isopure Cookies and Cream Protein Shake and chicken broth too. I cant wait for the soft foods. Tommorrow I start full liquids yogurt, smoothies, grits, and oatmeal, cant wait to have something with texture to it. I went to Walmart and bought the GE single use blender to help get fluids down I make an ICEE with Mio or Crystal Light to make it taste better.

How much have you lost since surgery day?

Ok guys, I've been sleeved!! The 1st night was hard but today has been much better. I definitely recommend the gas x strips. See you guys on the post op side.

Where do you live? I have almost a case of Isopure I'm not using! Or, I would be happy to send them to you. I'm in NJ

Did it taste bad. I'm in TX.

Thanks OTR, I'm going to order some.

Im just reading so much from other peoples post op diet progression, and nothing has been as extream as what my doctor is asking. Im 1week post op, and am still on Clear Liquids. Here is a time line of his phases he gave to me

1-2 week (15 days) post op - clear liquid ( week 2 incorpate protien shakes and vitiams)

3-4 week - (15 days) puree foods - and he is very strick on this stage

month 2-4 -(60 days) soft food

month 5- finaly regular food

So pretty much 5 month before regular food, just comparing to all that I've read this sounds crazy, and almost torturous! Give me your thoughts.

My diet is just like this during the1st week how do you get your Protein in??? I don't wanna lose my hair?

Ok.

My doctor has a nutritionist in his office and its mandatory you meet with her, you pay for a 7 day supply of nutrimed products, you eat smoothies, shakes, broth, lots of Water, and protien bars instead of meals. Your surgeon should tell you what they prefer check out preop forum on foods.

I had my EGD today, they used versed and Fentanyl IV, lets just say I dont remember anything. They did give me pictures afterwards. Ive been sleepy all day but I needed the rest!!

My surgery is scheduled for 9/4 . I am only required to do an 8 day liquid diet, but I started today. I keep getting these "lasts" cravings. I want my last burger for a while. I want my last bunch of fries. I want my last steak. If I don't start now and restrict myself and gain some control and simplicity, I'll eat the last 18lbs I lost right back on my body.

So, I started today. We will see how it goes!

You can do it!! Im Sept 4 too and I start my liquid diet Tuesday!! Cant weight to lose weight!!!

I have mines today 0730!!! Anxious and cant sleep!! Ill be sleeved on Sept 4, let you know what happens 2morro.

Mine is scheduled for September 4th. I start my preop diet this Tuesday!

me too!!! EGD at 0700

I'm not sure who you're asking littleperson?... so I'll just jum in lol!

I'm not having an EGD. Or at least I haven't been scheduled for one. Is an EGD standard? I had an endoscopy a couple of months ago, just before I buckled down and got serious about VSG. My surgeon got a copy of that report and pictures from that fun event.

How long have you all been workin on this? Getting through the approval process, I mean?
