I went to see the NUT this morning and it turns out I'm not taking the right Vitamins. All thou it says its a Multivitamin it's missing some of the nutrients.

I am 7 weeks out and she told me I should be getting all my Protein from solid food and to stop drinking the shakes. She gave me a meal plan that is so do-able.

She also recommends that if I can't finish my meals to try to eat it within an hour.

She also told me to stay away from oatmeal' date=' and keep the carbs down. I should be eating about 70 gm of protein a day. The only time I should have a shake is at night and only if I didn't get in all my protein.

I am happy with this NUT as I've been seeing her since before I knew I was going to have the sleeve done.

BTW.. I tried the Jennie-o turkey patties that are seasoned and it contains 27 grams of protein. And they are yummy I wrapped it in lettuce.[/quote']

Can you give us an example of the meal plan?

How much protein are you getting in a day?

I eat the light & fit yogurt but didn't know they made a Greek one' date=' not that I like Greek yogurt but I'll give it a try.

Yes I have tried other Greek yogurts & I don't care for them... This is the only one I care to eat & w/ 12grams of Protein - I really like Yoplait but so much sugar but I still eat them sometimes cause they are so good...

So you saw your NUT - well I'm bad w/ protein to -have the time I really don't care to eat b/c of the way it feels after it leaves my throat all gurgley, bubbly just weird & stuck a lil & just don't like it but I make myself anyway...

On Monday they are doing a barium swallow test to make sure all is ok & I'm wondering would a heartburn/antacid help... Also blood work came back & my liver levels & something else was high so my fam Dr ordered me a sonogram of my stomach for the same day... So we'll see what all the outcomes are...

Take care of yourself...

How much Protein are you getting in a day?

I'm getting about 70 grams of Protein.

The idea is to get about 22-25 per meal.

Breakfast

1 scrambled egg with 2 oz turkey sausage= 21

1/2 banana.

2 tbs avocado.

lunch

3 oz moist chicken 21 protein

1 cup salad

Low fat dressing

Apple

dinner

3 oz baked white fish= 21 protein

1/2 cup zucchini

1/2 cup low sugar fruit cup

Before I get any grief about this being to much food, hear me out.

My NUT said to focus on the protein first with a little of the veggies (to avoid constipation) if you can't finish everything try to come back within an hour to finish

the meal. If not split it into 2 small meals.

I have been doing this and it really does work. I haven't had another Protein shake which is okay with me.

Well sleeve sisters...it CAN be done! I went to my Houston Texans football game and had a blast..even after the sleeve. Well, I am too scared to partake in the alcohol just yet so stuck with Water, a few sips of gatorade and about 1/2 of a Diet Coke. I had a few Cheetos and one hot dog (no bun) while tailgating and then inside the game I was able to tolerate part of an order of nachos. No puking. No problems. Just feel super dry and dehydrated tonight so now drinking more water. But man, all that cold beer sure looked tempting!!!!

Falling off the face of the earth for a bit it seems. You all are doing awesome! I've been ridiculous when it comes to cheating. Halloween was not a good thing. I still seem to lose though? Of course I'm probably exaggerating a bit with saying how much I'm cheating- I feel like anytime I have something out of the "norm" is cheating when in reality it's not. Ah well- here's to another good week for everyone!!

Ready- keep posted on your testing- thinking of you!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
