60 grams of protein and 2 litres of water. Forget calories

when you say eggs, beans, white fish etc, are you having them in puree form ? I am given paperwork that says until 2 months post op , its puree only , no solids. Is your paperwork the same? I miss sausage rolls, and no I do know that they are made in hell, but I miss savory.

oh, and watch out for the UK catering teams, they dont care that you have had a sleeve and will offer you the wrong food. make sure post op that you have water and milk until your are ready to make valid choices for yourself.

Gastric Sleeve, with a hernia fixed while he was in there, as I seemed to have climbed into my own oesophagus the hernia fix means that I have more to repair and a VERY small food pipe. When I woke up - the pain cleared up relatively fast and honestly - it wont hurt after that - you have made the right choice. By the end of the day, you will feel better and ready to start seeing your scales again without fear.

I had mine 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Trying to adjust in a world that throws TV adverts for food at you non stop.

Regarding the preop diet and dizziness, yeah , its your liver kicking in , good stuff, persevere. Ive been forcibly reminded that post op , I need to stay on liquids only for a whole month, so back on milk and broth for me Each of us seems to have a different answer to that issue depending on who is helping us. Regarding liquids post op, try adding some lemon to the water (in the UK , Robinsons zero cal Lemon cordial) it really helped me.

Phew - had it Thursday, only a 12 hour wait on the ward (first in , last operated on ). The NHS is clearly still overloaded in the UK, but still , it went well and a hernia was stitched Im told too , so thats good even if I am slower on the recovery now. I was home the next day (another 12 hour wait for my bag of drugs, glad Im an avid reader). I have strange pains in my left wrist which was a surprise - normally alleviated by raising my wrist or a heat pack. Fading today, so CO2 or canula related I guess. I am still on water , coffee, and actimel drinks, will try puree on monday. No hunger - instead a hard belly and only some grumbles in my head when my kids eat crisps beside me. For people to go through it - dont be a fool like me and try and pull 27 stone up into the standing position without going slow and careful . And dont dwell on what happens when you wake up , its not long and its over fast.

Thank you

I have 8 days to go until my GS and am beginning to really struggle with headaches, tension, dizzyness and flushes. I have called the NHS hospital that I going to's bariatric ward, but no response to my message... I am really finding 2 litres of milk a day + 1 litre of water (coffee!) hard. I never drank much before and this is a quantum shift for me, never mind the grumbly tummy

Im a 51 year old, 183 kg male and have an op on the 29th. I do hope this helps me , as all I can see at the minute is a growing hate for milk and worries about how I will eat during the recovery phases. Also worried as my NHS trust in the UK is in the headlines for being overwhelmed..
