Thanks hun. Sounds Right what you said about getting our protein with shakes . How often are you eating , every 2-3 hours ?

Is hard but you need to make sacrifices to get great results at the end . I was on a liquid diet for 4 weeks total and I never cheat . I don't compare my self to others because my surgeon is the one who decide what's best for me . You CAN do it . I don't know your surgeon but mine won't operate on anyone who didn't follow the pre op diet. I think one single cookie won't hurt but dont do it again . You need to start from now to follow your dr rules so you can successful with your sleeve . Good Luck!!!

Awesome : ) Thanks Lissa I have fitness pal on my phone but I haven't try it yet I will now...

Ok so I will be 3 weeks post op this next wednesday and I just started my mushies recently. I been having half of 1 scramble egg with a bit of fat free cheese and I made this with a bit of lactose free fat free milk. I can only eat half, I think I probably can eat the whole egg but I stopped when I feel full. I want to try to get as much as protein I can with only food so I can have at least 2 shakes of protein a day and complete the rest of my protein intake with foods. Anyone can recommend me a website or something where to calculate how much protein,calories etc you are eating. I am confused because I don't know much protein is in every food I eat. So far I tried refried beans and I able to eat 2 tsp at once,with a sprinkle of cheese. I can't eat much beans ( I LOVE them ) but they are causing more gas than I already have . How much you could eat at almost 3 weeks out? what are some normal portions to eat? Is half an egg ok? I don't want to over eat. Is hard for me because when I get full,I don't have any signs like burps or chest pain I am taking my time eating,I ate half an egg in about 20 minutes and then I wait 30 minutes to sip on something.TIA

Best of luck!!!

AWESOME Thanks a LOT

I had miscarried before, I am sure you can DO this, Im here for you if you need to vent or talk,send me a message,would love to read from you,Sorry for your loss,big hug!!!

I thought this day was never going come lol I am finally starting my purees after 4 weeks in liquids pre op 2 and post op 2 as well. I am excited to use my blender for something else that is not protein shakes LOL I know people asked this question before but I would like to see how your menu consisted when you were in puree diet? Like any ideas besides tuna,green beans,refried beans? I am quiet confused about the amounts I am suppose to start eating. I will see my surgeon tomorrow so I will ask him as well but I want different opinions to have some more ideas TIA my lovely sleeve sisters

I am in the same boat as you and today is my day 15. I am trying my hardest still to get my protein daily intake and my fluids. I started taking B12 too and it seems to work a little with my energy. I was dehydrated around day 6 post op and they gave an IV.You can call your Dr and ask to get an IV I felt much better after just one. I still struggling with fluids intake at day 15, but I have faith it will get better with the time as my new banana shape stomach heals lol Get well soon!!!

Congrats!!!! Get well soon

Just checking in, I am doing better with my protein and water finally Feeling better today that I am 13 days post op I can't wait for my 2 week check this friday so I can finally start my purees lol 28 lbs gone since pre op liquid diet,not bad at all

I have PCOS an I am 13 days out and my weight loss so far ( still VERY early ) has been wonderful 28 lbs gone and I will start working out as soon as my Dr give me the OK to start. I off my metformin since my surgery and I am doing good without my insulin meds I think having PCOS won't stop you for losing weight as others and your symptoms will improve as you keep eating healthy and exercising

Thank you all, I am taking it easy,trying to get my protein and my water daily

Ok so I really need to VENT all this out. Today is my 11 day post and I am feeling terrible,emotionally and physically. I am so tired of this liquid diet . My surgeon's plan is 2 weeks pre op of full liquids diet,the day prior surgery I was on clear liquids and post surgery 2 weeks more of full liquids and after my 2 week check which is this December 9, I can start my purees. I am not drinking enough fluids I am doing horrible with my protein and my water. I tried but I get tired of drinking the same stuff over and over. I am trying different protein shakes to see if that helps but I get tired of them easily. I am feeling weak with no energy . I get really sad because this whole liquid diet makes me sick. I want to try something in puree but I need to wait till my 2 weeks check. I know is very important to follow my surgeon's instruction because I don't want to be back in the hospital due to an infection in my staple line or whatever. But I am seriously really tired of having broths ,jello etc I tried to make them in different ways,bought them. I been VERY strong on cooking for my husband and 2 year old regular foods and not even thinking of try the regular food. I KNOW this is all in my head. I really NEED some support and help now. I am scared I won't do good with my sleeve :frown5: :frown5: :frown5: :frown2:

I am 10 days out today and so far I have no regrets. It was not a hard decision for me to get sleeved since my Dr recommended weight loss surgery due to my health conditions . My BMI was 39 before surgery but I have health issues related to being obese. I had 80 lbs to lose only but I struggled with diets and working out for years and I could not lose weight . I am having reflux daily now but I haven't start my soft foods yet until next week,but the anti reflux medicine seems to help a lot. I had GERD prior surgery so I guess that does not help. I love your nick name My daughter's name is Ophelia. Good luck!

@Longerlife Thanks love. I don't know what is wrong with me, I get tired easily of the protein shakes lol I bought a chocolate one from GNC yesterday and an unflavored one too. I need to experiment more with protein, I don't use ice either,only lactose free fat free milk and the protein powder. I am just SICk of almost 4 weeks doing this liquid diet lol,it sucks to eat the same broths etc, I want some real food,like a few bites of soft mashed potatoes ,beans,soft fish etc lol

I will for sure talk about this with surgeon on my ext appointment ,thank you so your advise =)

Yes I am drinking only lactose free fat free milk,no other dairy products

So today is my day 9 post op and I have this horrible belching that doe snot stop I heard the gas gets better after a week of the surgery . Even if I don't drink I am having this issue. And yes I am on Nexium for now twice a day to see if it helps but is not helping I s horrible because I still in my post op liquid diet and I can't even have my broth because of this discomfort I need help!! Also I still have not had a bowel movement and I am taking colace as it was prescribed and nothing yet. When I can expect to have one after this surgery? TIA

Hello ladies, I thought I say "hi" I am 7 days post op today and feeling a little better. My incisions are healing pretty good. My recover has been hell so far. I was not getting enough liquids so I was a little dehydrated and I had to go the clinic to get an IV after that I felt much better. I am not getting all protein I need I need suggestions to try new protein shakes? like is Glucerna fine? They gave it to me when I was in the hospital. Also where I can find optifast shakes? I trying my best to get my protein but at least I am sipping y water all day. I can't wait to start my Stage 3 diet lol. I am so tired of this damn liquid diet pre surgery 2 weeks and post surgery 2 weeks more,is hell lol. For those are about to start the soft foods,which foods I can expect to be allow to eat? Thanks girls!!
