Four weeks post op after sleeve- what are you eating?
Simpson062681 replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m not allowed steak or any beef products until the 6th month mark.. grr it’s rough but I too have felt like I stalled as soon as I started real food.. I have stuck with chicken, tuna, and eggs. I may have a bite of something here and there but I have not cheated like I could have.. I have even been walking over 10000 steps a day for the month of August. I had the sleeve procedure on July 10. Help!! -
Sweet Tooth

Thank you for your reply. I am going to try the sugar free jello and heavy whipping cream. I am allowed sugar free jello and popsicles, which have also been my go to when I can’t get liquids down. -

I am 3 weeks post op from the Sleeve procedure. In the evenings, about two hours after dinner, I am craving sweets!! Help!! What do I do? I don’t want to eat anything because I’m only allowed 3 meals a day. Any suggestions would be helpful!!

I found that the surgery was the easiest of everything!! Drinking after the surgery is my hardest part.. getting 64 ounces in a day is a struggle. I eat popsicles like they are going out of style so I can get my liquids in for each day!! Rest and take it easy!! Life is grand two weeks out!!

My doctor said as long as I was off pain meds, I could drive..

I am on day 6 post op.. I have developed a rash on my stomach. Benadryl has been my friend. Getting enough fluids is a struggle because I’m not thirsty but forcing myself to sip often. My struggle has been I feel good and I want to try to eat the next foods on my list but haven’t due to being nervous and messing something up. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Rest is the most important. Everything else will fall into place!!

I am amazed at what all the various doctors recommended. It makes me wonder, what really is the best way? For my two week pre op diet, I was allowed cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese sticks, and applesauce.. Right now they want everything thinned with milk or a protein shake. That’s fine but I would like to chew something too. We have made creamy soups too without chunks. I’m looking forward to July 24 so I can have canned chicken and canned tuna!!
-
I’m only allowed to eat yogurt and pudding.. no bowel movements yet, just gas. I haven’t had real food since the 9th of July. I stopped taking my pain meds two days ago. I would love to eat something else but not allowed yet!!

Which surgery? What scares you? I had the sleeve surgery on the 10th of July and I feel great 5 days out!!
-
Me too. A little sore still but manageable!! How are you doing?

Did you try Premier Protein drinks? Not the clear bottles but the little cartons? They are super easy to drink!!
-
Are you allowed any food at all? Greek yogurt and cheese sticks were my best friends for the two weeks. 3 protein shakes, chicken broth and popsicles helped too.
-
Does anyone else have stomach spasms? It’s weird to explain but it feels like my whole insides shake when I drink liquids. I have tried, warm, cold, and room temperature and it all feels the same..

Thank you for all the info. I am 2 days post op and it hurts to move. My stomach feels like it’s spazzing when I first get up. Today is my first day home so I am going to walk, drink, and rest!!
