I was sleeved on the 20th 5 days post op. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the whole food thing. I was told my nutrionist to eat six small meals plus Water 64 ounces daily. Yesterday I downloaded an app on my phone to help remind me when to eat and drink. At times I don't want to eat but I find myself kind of forcing to eat at specific times so I don't eat too late at night. Then Im wondering what do I eat now I'm still on liquids which sucks not much choices. All I do is think about food and water. Anyone else feel this way! I also find myself mourning food like chips especially when watching a movie. Ugggh help!

Besides this I feel great no pain, surgery went well I'm down 6 lbs post op. No regrets!

Give your body and especially mind time to adjust. Your thoughts about food will take time to change. You are nearing the time where every day will get better. I'm 4 mo post op and feel wonderful. Give your sleeve time to heal. Look on the boards for stories of people further along to give you hope that things get better...they do. My sleeve is the best decision I could have made for my health. Good luck to you and it will get better. Take care.

sugar free Tropical Popsicles is what helped me through it. They add to your Water total too. Find a shake that you actually like, l like Pure Protein pre-made and powder. chicken broth is good when you want something hot. It does get easier, good luck to you.

Clear Liquids so I also had the sugar free tropical pops, beef , chicken, vegetable, broth, I baby food also different types (ofcourse banana is the one that has sugar) also I have sugar free snack well pudding In chocolate nd vanilla flavor also chobani Greek or vanilla yogurt.no fruit at the bottom . I have learned thru my doctor and other people on this site that every doctor has a different program set up for there patients. So make sure these things are allowed. Don't forget the Jello sugar free in all flavors that's available

While it is true every surgeon is different. I was told to eat Greek yogurt for Breakfast every day. That was when I got out of the hospital. I just could not stomach it at all. So I called and they switched it to low fat cottage cheese. I have eaten that everyday. It is loaded with protien and a sure hit. My stomach likes it! I had lots of low fat cream Soup strained. No meat chunks in the beginning. Broths.....chicken broth I liked the most. My nut told me to make sure I drank 2 premier shakes a day.(30 grams of Protein each) I still do this even with food. She told me as long as I do the shakes and drink total 64 oz a day I am safe as far as nutrition goes. Drinking the shakes takes the pressure off. I am almost 4 months out and still apply that basic rule. At least 64 ounces of liquids a day and make sure I drink both shakes equally 60 grams of protien. I hope this helps. Best wishes!

Get premier shakes from SAMs or costco, they are the best! They are thin and the choc is great, but to get more Protein I mix I cup NF milk in a shaker with a few ice cubs. They are really good! I can't drink the powder because if I have to mix up in the blender they always have to much air and I can't drink them. Good luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
