I have switched a couple of time, I will try the Atkins one next. Thank you!

I am 1 week postop and my doctor and nut keep telling me I have to have at least 30 grams of protein, I have just been on the shakes for so long I am over them.

I am 1 week postop and my doctor and nut keep telling me I have to have at least 30 grams of protein, I have just been on the shakes for so long I am over them.

I am having so much trouble reaching my protein goal, that I feel like hungry ???? I can drink water all day but the protein I just can't do anymore. Feeling discouraged, because I can't even tell if it's head hunger or am I really hungry.

So I have been diabetic for years, blood sugars always 250 or higher even with medicine. I am one week postop and my blood sugar right now is 80 and I feel very sick, I forgot to ask what I can drink to bring my sugars up a little, everything I have is sugar free. Someone help?

Thanks! Big adjustment to my body.

I figured 80 is normal, but I just don't think my body is used to it. My speech seems slurred and I am very shaky. I am going to try watered down orange juice. Thank you ????

I had my postop appointment today, I had my stables removed everything went good. I am under 300 pounds ???????? my surgery was 1/15/2015 HW: 324 SW: 310 Weight when I left hospital: 313 CW: 295

I was on preop liquid diet for 12 days and then for 2 days after the surgery. I was able to have creamy soups, creamy yogurt, and unsweetened applesauce and 1 protein shake per day. I thought that was fast I have not really been able to eat that stuff well, my stomach feels full and like its stretching out with just water. Tomorrow is my 1 week postop appointment and if my doctor clears me I can have soft foods eggs, refried beans and cottage cheese. I drank to much protein shake this morning and have felt bloated on left side I can't get comfortable. I am still learning on what I can do and not do.

Question how did you guys set different goals for and by when you want to reach them. I have my overall weight goal but I would like to setup mile stone goals for me. How do I figure it out?

I am not weighing myself till Thursday the day of my postoperative visit. I purposely did not buy a scale, I obsess with it to much.

I was wondering the same thing. Even the preop diet some doctors allowed you to have some calories, I was on all liquid for 12 days. But I only had to do two days of liquid after surgery. Now I can have cream of wheat, yogurt, and creamy soup and protein shake. Maybe it does depend on the individual person.

I was sleeved on 1/15 and went home 1/16. I could not tolerate the pain meds at all, so my doctor put me on extra strength Tylenol and Advil that has helped a lot. The worse part has been the Gas pain horrible, horrible it had me in tears. I bought chewable gasx the strips did nothing for me. Today is my first day of purée foods, had cream of wheat for breakfast 1tsp, and I am now having some creamy Greek yogurt it taste so good. I am also to have 1 protein shake a day. I am taking 2oz in between meals. I am also having a lot of trouble getting in my water. I still have a lot of gas and feel very full. I am happy to say that I have had no issues with feeling nauseated, not taking the pain meds has helped out. I am praying for the rest of this gas to go away so I can feel better.

I had a bm after drinking 2oz of protein shake. Tmi but it felt so good, it got rid of some of my gas pains.

No it's a closed group only the people in the group can see it ????

I am finally sleeved yay! I was pretty much in and out of it all day. I started walking yesterday, I am not in a lot of pain from my incisions. The GAS PAINS are the worse. I have my closed group page were I will be updating my daily progress. http://www.facebook.com/groups/NewYearNewBeginningNewme/

Heading to the hospital, I am nerves and anxious. I can not believe the day is finally here. Please say a little prayer for me this morning!????

My anxiety is in full attack mode. Wow! I can't believe tomorrow is the big day! ????

The first 3 days were the worst for me. Keep busy! I did a winter clean on my house, I got rid of things reorganized every room. For me it was all in my head I was day dreaming of food, I would even smell food that was no where near me. WILL POWER it will be so worth it later.

We are all having the some thoughts, my biggest fear is also leaving my kids with out a parent. And the other one is what if I don't like the way I look when I am skinny. I think I have noticed more food commercials in the last two days then ever. I can't even believe the day is almost here. I am leaving everything in gods hands, praying for everything to come out good.

I have been the same way hungry, hungry! Me to the "what if's" are driving me nuts. I am also trying to focus on anything else I can do but it's hard.

I am scheduled for surgery on Thursday, I am just wondering for those of you who have had surgery what kind of yogurt did you get? I am able to have some on the 3rd day I was going to get stuff on Wednesday just to be prepared.

I guess I should call my dietician, because I am a little confused because my list says light yogurt or Greek yogurt. It says do not add fruit so do they mean plain or no chunks. Confused???
