April Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello All. I was sleeved April 19,2011 ! I am one week and one day post-op. Still a litte sore but doing better than I thought I would be when it came down to my attitude towards food. Right now it's hard enough getting the liquids down so I'm "not soooooo" ampt about food. As of today I'm starting to feel the need to chew but the fear of swallowing food right now just overwhealms my desire to eat. To spite all of this I am getting enought Proteins. One of the Protein sources I'm using is called Nitro-Peak 50X. It's carried by GNC, and EDGE Nutrition. Not sure about any other stores. It's contains 4oz content of pure protein. I recommend mixing it with Water or what ever works for you. They come in different flavors.

Can somebody who has been to Dr. Aceves recently tell me what hotel they use for the night before surgery? I'd like to try to look it up online, if possible, since I'll be traveling alone.

does anyone else feel they can eat more than 4 oz. of mushies??? i am only 2 weeks out (surgery on April 15th) and I'm hopeful that it is just bc they are mushies and not solid food - but i'm concerned that i take down 4 oz. very easily. i do not rush, def. take my time, but i do not feel uncomfortable at the end of 4 oz. i am NOT experimenting and taking more in - but i'm concerned that i think i could.

anyone else a couple weeks ahead of me understand? does it change when you get to solid foods?

i'm nervous that so many people said they could only have a couple bites of eggs... i ate 4 oz. egg beaters - NO problem. how about those who said they can only do 1 oz. cottage cheese??? i can do 3 oz. mixed with Jello for a total of 4 oz. NO problem.

is there something wrong????

Just Jess

there are days when I can definately get in more and do! then days when I cant, the solids are more filling and Mushies flow a lot easier.

I felt the same way you do , and I will be 3 weeks on monday. I havn't had much trouble at all with the liquids either. I chalk it up to my stomach healing quickly. Hopefully that is the case. .Ive been doing really well with keeping things down and havnt had any trouble with any foods so far. Hopefully it will stay that way....

Congrats on your weight loss was it all post op?

Sometimes I can eat the whole 4 oz and sometimes no. It also seems to depend on the food. I can do yogurt, cottage cheese or pudding no problem, but have more trouble with tuna, tilapia or pastina. I guess it is just trial and error. I, too, think I'm doing something wrong but then I realize it's not even four weeks from my surgery yet...

I had Surgery April 11th and i feel great!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
