doingitforme18

I'm not quite 2 weeks post op and am already driving myself and my family crazy about the scale During my first week somewhow I lost 18 lbs which I think has set me up to be miserable because now I'm not losing any weight!! I want to buy a new scale!! WTH?!

I'm drinking Smooth Move tea right now lol

Yeah, I eat a ton of vegetables, tempah, tofu and fruits (well I did presurgery). It is definitely a challenge without any of the beans, etc. I had 3 weeks of starch free preop and that was interesting

My nutritionist told me (as a Vegan) not to eat all of the beans and quineo that I used to eat, because of the starches and carbs did anyone else hear this message? I dont' want to have to eat meat to get my protein. I am a Vegan for a reason! I'd love to see recipes.

Does anyone think we could have sugar free Popsicle like ice cream? Chocolate or other flavors now? I guess it would depend on the # of carbs...

Love these suggestions!! I've been craving something "good" too

Hi there! I'm just starting to feel "hungry" after 1 week post-op. I am adding unflavored protein powder to everything, yogurt, cottage cheese, soup, to get some protein in!

How long are you on liquids post op? I ate popscicles, yogurt mixed with soy milk, creamed soups mixed with extra soy milk and put through a blender, snowballs (chopped ice) with sugar free syrup,

I was sleeved on 7/24. Since first appointment I'm down 34 lbs. Since surgery last week, I'm down 18!!

Hi everyone!! I'm one week out and doing great!! I can't believe the difference these past few days. It feels like all of a sudden my stomach started to work again and now I can drink much more than I was a few days ago!! I started on pureed today, which for me is cottage cheese consistency. I'm retraining myself that I need food to live, not live for food How is everyone else doing?? Thanks

Hi all!! I'm 5 days post-op and feeling so much better!!! Good luck to all tomorrow! I could easily drink 100 oz prior to surgery..with the sleeve, I'm lucky to get in 20 oz...

How much water/liquid did your dr. recommend when first out of surgery?

I'm afraid to try Protein Shakes! LOL I don't want to feel sick I've been sticking to water and Popsicles so far, but it's really hard to get water in that I need.

Surgery 7/24...how's everyone doing? Gas pains are no joke and it's hard to take all the meds/vitamins

I'm enjoying his approach and am anxious to see if I an adapt some of his ways, such as the texture scale for eating.
