Eating After Being Sleeved



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I would like to know what are a few typical days of eating looks like after your are healed from your surgery.

And I know alcohol should be limited after your goal. Can anyone tell be about their experiences with this too?

Thank you for your help.

It was slow going for me with the solids. My surgeon said no liquor for a year. Since I don't drink, I didn't care.

It seems like I have more Protein from shakes than from the solids. I just can't handle more than 1 1/2 oz. of meat per meal. I try, but it's a no go.

You can eat maybe one bite of chicken and a piece of broccoli ;)

I'm only 4 weeks out but here's yesterday for me:

1 Protein shake for Breakfast (30g of Protein - Costco's Premier Nutrition in chocolate, the yummiest I've found so far!) 160 cals

lunch was 1/4 cup taco meat, a small amount of low fat cheddar melted on it and about a tablespoon of fat free sour cream (to keep the meat moist). That was 122 cals and 16g protein.

Dinner: veggie Soup (I probably should have added some unflavored Protein powder here but I didn't think of it) 32 calories 1 protein.

2 slices of deli ham: 30 cals 7 protein

Laughing cow light: 1 wedge (25 cals 2 protein) I smeared this on the deli ham and rolled it up

Snack: Babybel light cheese 50 cals 6 protein

2 slices of deli chicken breast meat: 30 cals 5 protein

Total: 67 protein and 449 calories.

Also about 48 oz of crystal light + Soup + Protein Shake for hydration, and random trips to the faucet for plain Water.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
