I did buy injury protein chicken broth and a orange protein water so I think I will be able to set in at least 40-50 grams of protein daily. The doc also said to use milk instead of water in my cream soups add extra and sip on it for hours...... Eating all day? He said by drinking this should not build grazing habits.

Just had my appointment and the doc Wants my to be at 800 cals and 65 grams of protein daily. I am hardly getting 300 on my best day. Any advise on how to accomplish this.

Sleeved on October 13 Please add me Melissav526@hotmail.com

I am a bedside nurse and plan on taking 3-4 weeks off. I currently am 6 days postop. I need to be able to get more calories in so I can make it through a 12 hour shift.

Thanks ! I am 6 days postop and hope the more support the easier this change will be!

Would anyone be interested in "friend requests" on my fitness pal? Just would be nice for encouragement 526melissag is my id

I went up two pounds when I came home from hospital, I promised myself I would not weigh myself and I will see where I am at my one week post op appointment on Tuesday

WLS was 10/13, only off my cycle for 11 days and now its back, very light but back????

6 days out for breakfast 8 ounce orange protein drink Sip, sip, sip water for snacks and lunch then 6-8 ounce protein shake. I am trying so hard to get my water in but am not doing great

I was sleeved on 10/13 also and if I take to big of a sip of anything I also get that pressure and pain. I am on full liquids so no beans or yogurt for me. I did drink my 4 ounce protein share with non fat fairfit milk and have had chest pain and gurgling intestines..... Then with in 20 minutes diarrhea. Sorry probably TMI but that is what is happening to me.

My doctor told me he doesn't care about calories the first week, he said focus on getting your water in the first week. He said it won't hurt to just drink water with very little calorie intake

I just had my sleeve on the 13th and heck yes had bad leg pain. The only other pain was the gas they use to expand the abdomen that cause the worst pain I have ever had.

My sleeve was done October 13

A lot of emotions, my only fear is something going wrong in surgery

Reno Nevada. Surgery is Tuesday October 13

Hi, I works as a bedside nurse on the Med Surg unit and my surgery is Tuesday October 13th with a check-in of 2pm. I am scheduled to work graveyard tonight, Sunday and Monday getting off Tuesday morning. My question is do you think it is smart of me to work Monday night or should I take the night off to get a goodnight sleep prior to surgery?

Mi doctors has allowed my diet to be protein shakes and meals under 300 cals. Tonight I start my full liquid first and Monday all clears. I am a bedside nurse and work graveyard, how did you guys deal with the hunger while at work, my head already hurts and I feel am hungry and it's not head hunger.

I live in Reno Nevada and go to WBI my surgery is October 13,I am self pay

I just got my date! October 13

Just finished my steps to success class, one step closer and even more nervous. I feel kind of scared, just needed to share what I was feeling with someone who understands.

Any one a bedside nurse, how long did you take off work after getting sleeved?

I am a a self pay patient and am hoping to complete everything I need to do by mid October!

I think many people can relate to this posting. It might be easier on your system to stay on the FLD since that is what you will be on after your surgery. Do you have local support groups in your area?

Sometimes if walking away and hiding is what you need, then use that as your coping skill for now. Stay strong and remember you make your own destiny
