Ok I was sleeved on 3/16 and to this day have lost a total of 23 lbs. I lost those quickly within the first 2 1/2 weeks. I've been at a stall since last week and still nothing. Its aggravating! I kno I'm not getting my protein completely but I am getting a little. Probably about 40 grams a day..and not enough water either, it takes me a half day to drink a bottle even with crystal light. Ugh! I'm so upset! Hellllp

I was thinking that. Thanks

Soooo I'm headed into my 3rd week post op on tomorrow and was wondering what about ground chicken? I saw it on my paperwork but was wondering if anyone had it and how'd u cook it? Also how did it go down?

Wow u can have shrimp at 10 days? No fair! I was told No Shellfish or anything til 6 weeks!

Yes it gets better! Take your time. Take your pain meds but try to walk a bit. Don't rush. Sip on your drinks and try some popsicles. I live on sugar free popsicles. My NUT counts those as fluid intake too. But I promise you it gets better. U have to walk to move the air down in your tummy. Hope you feel better!

Welp I had my follow up appt today and all is well. Yes I am on protein now and all vitamins. Full liquids and looking forward to mushy foods next week. Down 17 from initial weigh in back in February! Yayyy!

You may need to take a swig of Milk of Magnesia. That's what I had to do and the gas started and I had a bowel movement.

I've been one to deal with migraines regularly (at least three times a week) since my hysterectomy in 05. They were horrible pre op diet but after surgery I haven't had one! Altho I'm only 7 days out its God sent to not have one! Count it all joy!

Oh geez I was looking forward to my 3rd week so that I can have something different. Sigh

I've just been walking with my hubby. I think we walked for 40 mins total.

Also I'm itchy around my little wounds. I guess that means I'm healing on the inside huh? All of my tape has fallen off and I'm so ready to be able to sit back in my tub, as I'm no shower gal! I love a bubble bath! So I'm hoping that I can get in my tub soon...sigh! Is this normal to itch?

Great! You guys kno what I'm talking about. I was wondering what was going on with my body! Now I want to start introducing other stuff into my diet. I was on another site and saw that in week 2 you could have nonfat yogurt, sugar free sorbet, and watered down applesauce. I bought all those at the grocery store yesterday but haven't tried any. I think I will wait until after my follow up appt tomorrow.

@@Bonawanabfree how far post op are u?

Hi everyone, I'm exactly a week out today and feel great. I had absolutely NO nausea at all and I'm doing just fine. I'm down 10 lbs as of today and have been living in crystal light and popsicles to say the least, jello hurts my tummy and don't care for chicken broth so I've only had 2 cans within the week. No protein at all nor am I on any vitamins, Idk if that's a good thing tho. Got lots of energy, been driving since Thursday last week. Idk tho this is scaring me, I've stopped the pain meds since Thursday also and have only been taking the other 2 prescriptions I was given. My hubby tells me I'm moving too fast, but I'm full of energy and can't keep still. My only downfall is I've been craving some McDonald's fries! Lol...otherwise all is well.
