Not getting enough...of anything



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved 5 days ago. I came home from the hospital Thursday, today is Saturday. I just added up what I have been eating realized I am consuming about 100 calories and 12g Protein. I am trying, but I.just can't fit much in my sleeve without feeling sick.

Is this normal this soon post-op? Or should I be concerned? I am still on full liquids and move to puree in about 5 days.

Thanks.

I put my drink on the kitchen counter, take a sip then walk around the house once and take another sip. if sip was too big then i walked around twice before sipping again. it took me an hour and a half to drink my Protein Shake but i did it. maybe you could try it. the walking help take my mind off of drinking. you gotta focus on getting the Proteins in since they help with the healing process and it ensures you lose fat instead of muscle. then move right into drinking your fluids. it'll get easier. good luck with it.

I did better with Protein sports drinks like Isopure and designer whey blitz early on. Cut them with g2 or a little Water if too strong. Sometimes the shakes are just a little thick the first few days.

      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.

      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!
