  7. Hello all!! I'm 3 weeks post op well 19 days and down about 17 lbs so far which I'm thrilled about.I am on the puréed food stage and I have about five small meals a day no more than 4 ounces. Sometimes I still feel hungry afterwords. I don't know if it's the anxiety or is it me not having enough Protein in my diet. When I eat pudding I don't care for off of the one little container I don't want to over eat nor stretch my sleeve. How do you know when you start your sleeve. And how do you avoid this? Please give me your input

  22. Hey guys !!! 1 week post op and 5 lbs down !!!! Woohoo excited to say the least so I am doing syntax nectar currently BUT want to switch to premier for the conscience of on the go Protein and not having to buy a huge jug of Protein powder . Currently do 1 scoop (23g) and 6g of milk=6oz but don't drink it all only about 4 oz . How do you do premier in your diet with a small stomach and in how many intervals ? Since I'm so new post op I want to try to do 4 small 4 oz meals and meet 70gtams of protein ... What do others do to meet their protein goals?!?!? Thanks in advance I am just thinking if I make a switch to premier I will be drinking way too much !!!

  24. @@BLERDgirl Thanks!!! I did go on the scale and feel disappointed but I also know it's not going to be 30 lbs lighter overnight and I need to incorporate some movement like watching or stairs as soon as my pain goes away. Today I did 54g Protein and 30 oz Water all day which was an accomplishment . I just have to stick to protein shakes in 4 oz increment though as it will be what keeps me losing and keeps me sane !
  25. Sleeve a week ago Thursday 1/8/15. I see food and want to eat it but don't . I get full easy about 3-4 OZ of Protein shake or cottage cheese or Greek plain yogurt ... Problem is i don't think im losing nor do I get gas pain whih is a relief . I can't drink too much after eating because I'm still full and I feel like all I do is eat... Can someone please advise me as to how often and how much I should eat ?!? Ps- since I havnt not had solids I have not had a bowl movement ... Has anyone else experienced lack of bowel movements ?!
