I was sleeved 5/28 and my typical day looks like this:
Wake up: Protein shake - 30g Protein, 200 calories
Mid morning: 1 scrambled egg or 1 nutria rain low fat waffle w/sf Syrup - 7g protein, 70 calories
Lunch: broc cheese Soup with added unflavored protein or WW chicken ranchero wrap (sooooi good!!!)- 12g protein, 100 calories
Snack: Protein Shake or Protein Bar - 30g protein, 200 calories
dinner - small portion of whatever we are having...usually marinated chicken but I was able to eat some tortellini last night- ?? Protein, 200 calories
Will add a cheese stick or incorporate unflavored protein if I need more protein and around 800 calories.

Just wondering when you incorporated Protein Bars? I can start regular foods this week but I'm not sure when my stomach will be able to handle a Protein Bar. Just curious what others have experienced. Thx!!

I'm allowed to start regular foods next week and I'm so nervous!! Can anyone recommend some starter foods that they have tolerated well? Foods that didn't sit well? I will be 4 week post op at that time.

Anyone else dealt with fear transitioning to the next food phase post op? I have had no problem with the liquid phase and really don't desire anything more at this point. I'm allowed to start soft foods tomorrow but I find myself really nervous about it. With the liquid phase I haven't really felt the restriction yet but I have measured everything to make sure I don't overdo it. Maybe it's fear of the unknown? Maybe fear of failure? I don't know...just curious if anyone can relate?

Sleeved 9 days ago....still having some pain sitting & standing but I have 2 little ones. Yesterday felt pretty good but this morning I am having really bad "pulling" type pains under my largest incision...figure that's probably normal as things are healing. But I just looked and under the pain about an inch is a bruise (1" big). Just wondering if anyone else experienced external bruising?

I did not get approved with Aetna the first try...took a peer to peer review. Was approved after that snd just had surgery on the 28th. Good luck... I know how nerve wracking it is!!!!

I'm only a week post op and have zero appetite. Had a family birthday last night and had no desire to eat anything. Hope it stays that way!!!

Thanks!!! Yes, they gave me anti nausea meds in the hospital and it was only the 1st day preop. I was worried I was going to burst my stomach.

I was just sleeved on Tuesday. Tuesday night I felt great but Wednesday was horrible!!! Puking but nothing coming out, pain moving around, etc. the nausea has since stopped but my stomach is still really sore. I'm having a hard time getting up and can't roll over onto my side in bed. Bust wondering when the pain gets better?
I'm on straight liquids and even just the thought of food makes me sick. I am getting at least 48 oz of Water although not as much Protein as I should...that's coming from shakes

I was sleeved the 28th too and have zero interest in eating. I'm drinking Water and trying to get a Protein Shake in here and there. Yesterday was BRUTAL. I felt horrible! Today I'm feeling better but still no appetite..just the look of food makes me sick, lol.
