    July Sleevers

    I just had surgery the 3rd of July. I was on a two week diet of two Protein shakes a day (60 grams) of protein and one meal that consisted of 3oz lean meat, 1 cup veggies and 1 cup of fruit, no bananas. I could have the fruit with meal as a snack or in my shakes. I could have the sugar free Popsicles and Jello I wanted. Just need to get as much fat off of liver as you can, it hard for surgeon to work safely (your safety) with a fatty liver. I had to do the same when I had the lap band. It was unsuccessful so I converted to sleeve. I am so happy with !y decision. I have not been hungry nor have I taken pain meds since Sunday. Granted I am a little sore but not enough to take meds. My diet is a week of Clear liquids and Protein Shakes. chicken or beef or veggie broth. Week 2 I can add thicker Soups but no chunks of anything or fibers that could hang on staples. Week three I can add soft food, anything u can mash with fork. Tuna, soft chicken, green Beans, etc. Scrambled or soft boiled eggs, just a few bites and she said I would be full. I have not been hungry, yes my mind would love a bite if something solid but stomach reminds my I'm really not hungry. I chewed up two cheeze nips crackers and spit them out. Satisfied my urge. Good luck on your journey. I'm so happy I a! Taking this route
  2. Tomorrow will be 5 days post op for me so I am on liquids only. I have not been hungry but I feel I am still not drinking enough. I am staying with my sister until my Dr visit tomorrow then I am going home. My sister and her husband cooked their supper tonight and last night and only the smell bothered me. My mind was hungry but when I saw the food my stomach let me know I wasn't hungry, if that makes sense. I hope things get better for you on being hungry. And I hope I continue without the struggle. I was told when I can eat to eat 5 times a day

    Crying happy tears..

    I had my lap band removed and converted to gastric sleeve on July 3rd. I have done good on liquids and have not been hungry. I follow up with doctor tomorrow. I have never been one to drink a lot of fluid in a day so that's my biggest adjustment and I still have not found a protein shake that like. Good luck to you and I look forward to stepping on a scale now. Best decision I have ever made
