My nut said that by 1yr out I would be able to eat 1 cup at each meal. I'm a yr post op and I am eatin about a cup twice a day. I can't tolerate anything at breakfast except my protein shake and I follow it up with a cup of coffee with protein. I have at least 2 snacks like 1 oz beef jerky or a Greek yogurt with nuts added(sometimes it's too much). My nut said I need to up my animal protein but I'm struggling with that still. I TRY to keep each meal at about 250 cal with protein first. Do y'all ever get tired of eatin meat and just want a salad?? I do A LOT! Good luck!!

Diabetics - Sleeve Results? Rny Better?
PokeyJo replied to bearman99's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have had T2 for about 15 years and was on oral meds. May of 2012, I was put on injected insulin because things got out of control. I was sleeved on Sept. 20 - my numbers are technically still high and I will probably end up back on oral meds, but my surgeon said not to worry about it until 6 months out. If I get too high, I'm to take fast acting insulin on a sliding scale as needed. I've lost about 50 lbs since surgery and notice the side effects of diabeties have all but gone away - thirst, frequent urination, etc... If I could do the sleeve over again, I would 10 more times! There are other things to consider with each of your options - not just diabeties. With the RNY, you don't absorb calories, but you don't absorb nutrients either. The weight loss will happen very quickly, but if you're not careful, you could have long term problems other than diabeties. With the sleeve, the weight comes of slower. You still need to make sure you're extremely careful with what and how you eat, but there's less problems. As far as the diabeties, I'm fully prepared to go back on oral meds. Hoping I won't have to, but preparing myself for it nonetheless. Not sure if anything I'm saying will help... It's just my opinion. -
5'2" Shortie - Size 18 To A 2! Pics (Panties For Those Faint At Heart)
Ree replied to Jenny12's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You look great! I know you said you don't exercise but what about food? Do you stick strictly with the foods your surgeon told you to eat? I know eating a very small amount of food won't be a problem after the surgery for me, and even eating healthier options and Protein first. My concern is not being able to eat the vegetables they want me to eat and actually sticking strictly to their approved foods list for the rest of my life. So that's what scares me. And Congratulations on your weight loss! -
Diabetics - Sleeve Results? Rny Better?
TheNewSusie replied to bearman99's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm type one and barely take insulin , a few units a few days a week. I keep my carbs extremely low and follow the high protein concept. I was sleeved 7-2012 and down 92 pounds. -
My team says fluids are more important, but get as many protein shakes down as you can, since they help on both fronts.

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on November 30 and have lost 24 lbs. I have not lost anything for the last two weeks and I am terribly depressed and worried I'm not going to lose anymore. I feel like a complete failure, I have tried to do everything the way I was instructed. I do have trouble drinking all my water and the protein shakes make me sick at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to get my weight loss going again. Thank you for any comments!

@@richieoneal411@gmail.com Its still an option. Your Dr will let you know at what point after surgery it is allowed. -
Hi everyone! Which protein do you recommend??? My doctor [emoji67]⚕️ recommend me the brand “Celebrate”.... have any of you tried that one already???? Gret Quesada

I only used protein shakes for about a month after surgery while I was on liquids and mushies. Now I get all the protein I need from food. Haven't had a protein shake since. I was pretty stoked to see the back of them.

I have posted this suggestion in several threads. I cannot stress enough how AWESOME Organic Hemp Protein Hi-Fiber powder is. Everyone keeps suggesting drugs. This is all natural. One of THE best plant Proteins out there. Put it in your shakes. Three tablespoons is all you need. I put it in my first shake of the day. Been regular ever since and it is not painful cramping like what Milk of Mag or Mag Citrate, Dulcolax or any of those other drugs cause. I bought it at Wegmans Grocery store in health food section. Check out the website www.Nutiva.com Good luck.

6 months out/slow loser/stopped losing...
birdmadgirl posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Tell me I will start losing again? I am worried that this is as much as I am going to lose. Ive only lost 50lbs in 6 months and I have stalled for the last 3 weeks. I admit that I am not making all the right choices and I have a hard time gettting all of my Protein and Water in lately. If I get back on track will I start losing again? Tell me its not over!!! -
Traveling, need some food suggestions
newat52 replied to mandavander's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
String cheese. You can get it through security and it really doesn't need to be refrigerated. I took some with me at 6 weeks out. I also took nectar Protein mix. It was a great way to make sure I kept up with my protein. You are probably to early out to be able to handle beef Jerky. I travel a lot and I always take some. The sodium is high but sometimes you gotta pick the lesser of the evils. Also a big edemame fan! It's packed with protein. You can get it roasted. It's a still a go to for me! Good luck! -
Traveling, need some food suggestions
Fluffnomore replied to mandavander's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
When I traveled at 5 weeks I stuck to: scrambled eggs, chili, meatloaf, soup. I had some RTD Protein shakes and some Protein powder. I did this as a road trip so there were Cracker Barrels and Wendys everywhere (if you're comfortable being somewhere like that. I liked knowing that I would know what I was getting.) I had just been cleared to soft meats at that time; I don't know what your diet is like. -

Worried sleeve will not work as well as band
waiting2bthin replied to PeachyDexter's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor told me the people who have revised surgery lap to gastric sleeve lose weight very slowly. It's been 14 months since my surgery and I haven't lost any weight. I recommend your dr take the lap band first then wait a couple months before they attempt the gastric bypass. the wait will help the stomach get back it's shape. My physician said my stomach was so misshapen after band came off that he eyeball how much to take off - he doesn't use a bugie. I believe the reason that I haven't lost weight is that dr left my pouch big - I was able to drink 14 oz Protein with no problem after surgery -
How much weight did you lose in pre op diet??
BandedInNY replied to BandedInNY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really wish I could eat a protein meal. I wonder why some doctors require different diets. I am on 5 shakes a day, no food, for over 4 weeks. -
Rapd Weight Loss During Liquid Diet Safe?
elfnow replied to kpay10's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's a medically-supervised "crash" diet... It is NOT a sustainable weight-loss option. having said that, I lost 40 lbs in my first 30 days (pre-surgery diet and 2+ weeks post-surgery). Then I halted for a week as I reintroduced food -
Desperate: any ppl 5 years out?!
Miss Mac replied to Kateness777's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been trying to lose weight on my own since 1976! I just finally got sleeved to break the cycle, because I would not have even been alive in another five years. With my compounding weight-related health issues, my body was shutting down fast. As soon as I heard about the sleeve, I knew that was the answer for me. If you do decide to hold back, look into the Paleo / Primal lifestyle of eating and letting go of fake foods made in factories. Those of us who have had weight loss surgery are typically eating high Protein (60-80 grams a day) and as low carb as we can go. I wish you good luck and good health whatever you decide. -
I just google search, protein shakes sold in United Kingdom, and about 25 sites came up.

Hey girl! How ya been doing?! Is that you in the photo?! You look great! I asked my doc on the phone when I made an appt. so she said to stick to Protein Meal Replacement bars or shakes. So I'm going to try that. I found these really nice cottage cheese and fruit combo thinggies in the yougert isle that I eat for a snack that give me some good protein.

Hello I was sleeved on January 31, doing well, but still at times very tired. Anyone else experiencing this? What types of protein is everyone eating? I will start the soft/mushy stage this weekend.

My mom passed away and now it is hard to stay on track.
BellaHugz replied to BellaHugz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you ladies for your response to my call for help. It is nice there are people I can ask for help on these forums regarding eatting right after having a Sleeve Revision and while trying to be smart and not fall into the wrong way of looking at food now. hhhHappy- i did put a call in to Nut/DR office but they havent called back, yet. Ktklass- I will go out and buy some Premier shakes from costco this weekend, they have 30gr of Protein and that will help me get the protein in that I need. EscapePod, thank you for your words of kindness and wisdom. Your right grief isnt normal there are days when it hits you and days when your just numb. I do appreciate your honesty. I lost my father many years ago and turned to "comfort food". This time I wanted to be smart. It is true that I havent been getting my Water in and that is something I try really hard to do. When i realized that I also figured I wasnt so hungry either just 3 meals a day instead of my 6 small meals. hugs to all of you again. -
i think our body is already used to the Protein diet when we had the band and also used to less calories... so loosing weight is all the more difficult. I have not lost any weight in the 2 nd month...infact I am gaining... I agree my life is erratic..some days I eat less...and exercise is a problem...but with hardly 600 calories...but my body is stubborn... I was not successful with the band...now I must try very hard with the sleeve.

So I am 4 days post-op. Was in some pain those first few days and had to force down those protein shakes, but I am now starting to get an appetite. Did any one else try any soups like tomato or cream of mushroom (strained of course)? Or anything before their first post-op appointment? I know I am still suppose to be on clear liquids, but can't help but want to start trying some puree's. Nothing to crazy, because I know my stomach is still healing.

Okay so it had to happen right, a little over four days and I am going crazy! I don't mind the drinks - muscle milk, premier Protein, EAS, they are all pretty good, but they are all sweet! I want something savory.....something that tastes like dinner, not desert! I just fixed the kids macaroni and cheese, and I chewed it and spit it out! Sad, I know, but I am going crazy! HELP please.
