January 2012 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

So I'm trying to gauge if what I'm feeling is normal, but my left side where I assume that my stomach is is still very tender and if I move in the wrong direction I feel like my insides are being ripped. If I'm sitting it's not bad at all. Walking is a little painful, but not overly so, but no bending over, no stretching my left arm. My right side, if it wasn't for the incisions, I wouldn't even know I had them. I don't feel them at all.

My doc said to let him know right away if I had a left side pain.

That is exactly how I feel.

My doc calls full liquid, Protein Shakes, Soups, greek yogurt, sf pudding as long as I add Protein (need 60-70gm/day) and as long as there are no pieces. What does your doc allow on the full liquid phase?

Soups not creamed and with only Protein Powder added, protein shakes with Water milk or yogurt, broth, Jello, milk, Meal Replacements, yogurt drinks, oh and I was allowed pudding or applesauce only for taking my pills. If I had to blend it to make it drinkable then it was puréed, whatever I ate had to come in a liquid form

THANK YOU! :)

I did email my surgeon this morning and he got back to me a few minutes ago and said it's all normal, don't push it and take some liquid advil 2 times a day for 3-4 days. He said in a few more days it shouldn't be as much of an acute pain as it is right now.

How long are you all on Clear Liquids, then how long on full? I was told two days clear but it's a week out and I'm still doing it because I don't feel ready though I added Protein Shakes. Do for me one week out I'm doing broth, tea, Isopure, Water and Protein shakes. I have zero real hunger and occasional head hunger but it's getting better. There are so many food ads!

My dr. pt me on Protein shakes and clear liquids as soon as I was able to eat them...I was not hungry at all, but tried to drink them for protein intake...I am 4 weeks after surgery nou and I still have zero hunger :) and I like have protein shakes twice a day to make sure I am taking in my Proteins...biggest problem I have is eating slow...I am not the most patient person :))

I was on clear liquids for 2 days, but did them for 3, but I just wasn't hungry at all so I didn't drink as much as I should've and now I'm a little constipated. Passing gas just fine, but still constipated. I started full liquids yesterday and took some plain greek yogurt and blended in 1/2 a Protein shake and drank that for Breakfast and tolerated it fine. For lunch and dinner I had some Cream of chicken Soup with unjury unflavored Protein made with skim milk and that went down just fine too.

I haven't had any issues with gas pains or nausea (KNOCK ON WOOD). I know I need to increase my Water intake. I do well when I remember, but it seems there's chunks of the day where I just forget.

I do know that my head is craving scallops. It's almost like I'm pissed at myself I didn't have a 'last meal'. I told my hubs that when I'm healed and can eat regular food I'd like to go out for good scallops. I'll take 1 and he can have the rest. LOL

I was sleeved on 1/17/12 and I cant seem to get my Protein Shakes down... I can drink liquids fine and I have have tried everything under the sun... I started with a choc shake from muscle max, then Isopure from GNC (gross), then the vanilla shakes from costco (was ok at first)... How the heck can can I get Protein in??? I was thinking about trying an unflovered powder and geek yogurt with some fruit and make a smoothie...

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
