Recommended Posts

I am going on my 6th week almost with my new sleeve and i just want opinions with my diet.

for example i wake up take my Vitamins go to work drink Water then usually have a yogurt or boost then more water then maybe for lunch lentil Soup or veggie chili or just a Protein Shake then more water then a small cheese circle or stick.

dinner is like chicken with ff brown gravy or tuna or chicken salad. soft carrots or soft broccoli

weekends is 1 to 1.5 scrambled egg, vitamins water lunch is tuna or chili snack is yogurt cheese

lots of chobani and lots of SF pops

tonight i branched out. i had a thin baked pork chop. scraped all the breading off.

plus i had 2 long asparagus.

with a fork full of whipped mashed potatoes.

am i doing ok? am i eating too much or too little? is what im eating ok for my sleeve?

am almost 14 weeks out; when I was first cleared for the stage 5 diet I was very concerned with how little I could eat and how difficult it was to eat things like chicken. My surgeon said don't worry, everyone is at their own pace and it is okay to stay on mostly liquids longer. He was right, your body lets you know if what your eating is not working. I can eat almost anything now, although beef and pork are still easier for me than chicken. Morning shakes also work well for me, I get half my Protein and a quarter of my Fluid on my drive to work. I started with premixed but now make my own with skim milk, protein, and fresh fruit using a ninja.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
