Hi! I just had the Sleeve done on December 2, 2014 (two weeks ago today) and I am having a hard time! I am down 27 lbs already and I cannot stand the taste of any Protein drinks. I have tried Atkins, premier, carnation instant Breakfast (sugar free), and I cant even remember others. I do not like the way it makes me feel. I feel very sickly after I drink it and it feels like there is a ball in my throat afterwards. My doctor started me on soft mashable foods 7 days after surgery. I feel like the best thing I can tolerate is baked tilapia and I can only get down a very small portion (which I know is ok) but its like maybe 2 oz. I can also semi tolerate to get down ground turkey (about 3 or 4 bites). I am eating/drinking about 200-300 calories, and it is so hard for me to get down liquids as well. On a good day I drink one standard bottle of Water and maybe 1/2 of a G2. I TRY to do 3 meals a day, but no Snacks because my appetite is just not there. A typical day: Breakfast: I have attempted oatmeal with protein, and I am full after 2 small bites and it begins to come up my throat and is very uncomfortable. Lunch: Tomato Soup with cheese for protein: I get maybe 3 bites and I don't want anymore. Dinner: Baked Fish and Grits with Parm in them for added protein. I get maybe 3-4 bites total mainly the fish and I don't want any more. I don't feel as if I am getting enough fluids or even calories per day, and I feel weak even with the Vitamins and B-12. Headaches have been more common then un-common and I am just miserable. Please help me with some suggestions! I am miserable. Is this way of eating normal. When I went to my 1 week post-op they told me I should be eating 1/4 to 1/2 a cup at a sitting, wait 1 min. between bites, and focus on fluids, vitamins, and protein. I don't feel this is feasible and I am just lost! HELP!!!
