Congratulations! I am just over a week post-op and getting all of the Protein in has been pretty challenging for me - especially with food allergies to a lot of the common Protein powders. But, I am feeling great! I hope you are doing well, and if any of those pre-ops want to ask me anything, I'm an open book. I'm also a sleeve patient (from 2008) and can tell you all about what NOT to do

Hello!! I was sleeved in 2011.. My surgery is scheduled for May 10th.. How long was your stay in the hospital?

Hi there! I only stayed overnight. My surgery was around 9:00 AM on a Tuesday and I went home Wednesday afternoon. Good luck with your surgery!

Hi everyone,

I had the sleeve gastrectomy surgery performed back in 2009. Unfortunately, I have gained my weight back. Admittedly, I did not adhere to the diet and exercise plan and once I started gaining, I was embarrassed and stopped going to the doctor. Add a divorce into the mix and I gained even more weight. I take complete responsibility for the weight gain, and I am now considering the DS as an option, since my original surgeon had mentioned that this could be the 2nd step of my sleeve surgery back in 2009. I meet with the office next week and am very nervous. I was hoping someone could tell me some of your high Protein food secrets, as I am trying to start the 90 plus grams of Protein and 75 or fewer carb diet now. I am allergic to tree nuts, so the only nuts I can eat are peanuts and I don't like tuna fish or salmon, but like mild fish.

Thank you for reading my post! Have a great day!

Did you have the DS? I was interested in it, but didn't know what to do, I had my sleeve in 2011

I am about 1.5 weeks post op from the DS. So far it has been going well and the pain wasn't too severe. I miss solid foods, although I can start eating them again next week.

Has she tried adding Greek yogurt and Lactose Free milk to a chocolate flavored unjury Protein and blending it like a shake? I find this helps improve the taste and also bumps the Protein up considerably.
