Is Something Wrong?



Recommended Posts

I can easily drink my 64 ounces of Fluid and get in my 80 g of Protein. Isopure in the glass bottles is how I get the Proteins and 40 ounces of fluid. I feel no discomfort when it comes to eating sugarfree Popsicles sugar free Jell-O sugar-free pudding and I was put on full liquid . I still have gas pain and abdomen pain. I'm starting to worry that maybe I'm doing something wrong or something wasn't done right. My surgery was on September 26

you really don't feel too much restriction until you move to food with more consistency.

Wow I am 20 days out and still don't get in 64oz and am full often to get in my two shakes. I know everyone is different but don't you feel any restriction or tighness when you consume your liquids?

I drink about one cup per hour. Milk fills me up but not Water. Don't get me wrong... I'm not hungry but I just thought drinking anything would make my stomach would feel so tight.

I do get all 64 oz of fluids in.

The Isopure in the Glass bottles hold 40 g of Protein and 20 ounces of Fluid each. So I add 20 ounces extra to that and it doesn't seem to bother me much. it does take me all day to drink it all . My doctor just called to check up on me and finally got cleared to take Gas-X strips and said that I'm doing great when it comes to doing my fluids and protein that way:)

My surgery was June 19th, and I've never had a problem getting in 75-90 ounces of liquid and 75-90 grams of Protein per day...regardless of the stage. Some days it took more effort, because I have no feeling of hunger, but it's been done.

I am now on pureed foods and I am finding it hard to get my Water in. I can never finish my supper (1/4 cup pureed chicken, 1/4 cup of carrots). I eat really slow but I get full before I can get my supper down. I am having great weight loss results. When I was just on liquids I always seemed hungry and never really satisfied...but now I get really full from eating very little.

It's working!

I also hated Protein Powder so I started drink 'High Protein Boost" and it is really good. I tastes like choc milk shake. Just a thought!

Wow I was sleeved on 9/27 and I am nowhere close to that. I can only drink a few sips of Protein, Water feels like I am swallowing a solid green been going down, and Jello is almost impossible. Maybe mine is too tight?

Don't worry I was the same way. I still don't do pudding and I never liked the consistency of the jello. I think that it is good to have restriction, part of it is your tummy is swollen and recovering from surgery. Everyday it gets better.

      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. 💗

        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. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
