Any other newbies on this journey out there?? Had my sleeve on Tuesday, 7/16; so I'm 9 days out. Day 3 has been the worst so far. Think I possibly have temporary (I hope) lactose-intolerance as I'm struggling with some bowel issues; but beyond that, I feel very good. Not being hungry all the time is wonderful. Still hard to get in the habit of not drinking for 30 min. before; during; and 30 min. after eating. How is everyone else making out?

Just follow the indications and state focus on your goal!

Debbie- I'm one week post op and if I have to drink one more sweet Protein shake I will barf! Just not toleerating sweet vanilla all liquid shakes! I struggle to drink anything and it worries me that ill struggle next week. I'm not hungry st all!. Good luck on ur jouney!!

Why don't you try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored and stir it into your Soup? You get savory instead of sweet and 20 grams of protein at the same time. I also eat the chicken flavor. There are ways to get around sweet.

My Dr put me on puree today at only one week out. I had 1egg and 1egg white with a little cheese together totaling 3oz. For lunch I had shrimp brown rice with a milk and broth sauce to blend it and for a snack I had greek yogurt 4oz. I have come to hate protein powder in just 2 days :-/. From what I can gather my breakfast was around 19g protein, my lunch was 12-15g of protein and the yogurt was 10g of protein totaling around 42 for the day without protein powder and I have yet to have dinner and an evening snack. I think I can get to 60 without any powder. I will however continue my calcium, iron and other vitamins.

Just had my sleeve on Monday, July 26th. Feeling surprisingly good. My gut gurgle like crazy but nothing solid has come through. I am on a puréed diet for the next three weeks. I don't understand what is happening. I am so hungry! I thought the surgery suppressed hunger for months and months. I have been able to keep down every purée I have tried so far - dairy, peanut butter, chicken, tuna. I have been able to keep my proteins near 60gm but they are not keeping me full. I could eat at any moment. I have no sense yet that I have been appetite reduced. Boo hoo. Anyone else have this issue? Any advice?

I'm the same way. I was sleeved on the 24th and I still cannot tell hunger pains from full pain. It's seems like I have hunger pains all the time. I jave a yogurt or a few bites of cottage cheese and i get this little pain so i stop. Also, i think i made the mistake if drinking right after i ate because i almost threw up. Anyone else ever expwrienxe that? I know I'm not getting my water or protein in though and today i started purée. Does anyone know if baby food would be ok? Some of it does have sugar but its way down there on the list of ingredients so I'm not sure? I am, however, down 20 lbs since last Thursday so I guess I'm doing something right?

Hi I had my gastric sleeve july 18th. The first 2 days were the worst for me with the gas pains. I am doing very well now & I am 15lbs down since friday when I came home from the hospital. It may be more then that but I forgot to weigh myself before just going in & my scale & the hospital scale is off by 7lbs. At home I weighed 321lbs when I came home but at the hospital I weighed 314lbs... I am able to get in my 3 protien shakes they told me to drink but I know I do not get in as much Water & other fluids as I should. Next week I start the pureed food & was wondering what did many of you eat during that stage? I am thinking baby food may be the easiest on my belly but would love any suggestions for all of you

Feeling the same way. Gotten a bit crafty with adding the unjury Unflavored Protein in Mashed Potatos and Refried Beans but still searching for something that makes me happy...struggling to get both food, Protein Shakes AND liquid...

I make a shake in the morning and use a scoop and a half of Protein I add 8 oz of almond milk and some ice and that is half my protein for the day. I drink it over two hours or so.

It seems to set up the rest of the day and getting in protein easier. I also eat every four hours. After Breakfast that leave three meals to get 30 grams of protein in. So ten each.

Bariwise had a strawberry kiwi flavored protein that is 15 grams and I will sip it over the course of the afternoon. Oh and the Syntax Latte is also good too to sip over time.

The ice tea syntax flavor was beyond gross. If anyone who reads this forum has any influence, instead of ice tea how about a Chai tea flavor? Because that would be awesome.

My nutritionist actually suggested baby food multiple times... Especially the meats.

Baby food would be ok, my NUT suggested it.

Did anyone else get told to drink Boost Protein? My NUT wants me to drink 2 a day--to get in all my calories (800-1000/day)...but it's sickening sweet! And the first two ingredients are high fructose corn syrup and SUGAR...each time I drink it I feel horrible and sick afterwards. I've also noticed the days I'm able to choke two down I do NOT lose, and the days I have 1 or none I drop weight. It seems like this is a really bad thing to have, so I was wondering if anyone else was told to drink this, or how everyone was getting all their calories in?

I'm supposed to be on liquid only until Wednesday (2 week post-op)...

Hello I was sleeved on July 17th. Clocked in at 370lbs on surgery day (30lbs lost pre-op) Went for my annual "lady" check up today and was at 349lbs. It's a bit much for me so I am trying to make sure I eat 3 meals a day and drink as much water/crystal light as possible (sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't). Feeling pretty good though. Definitely not getting my fluid intake but I am already on soft foods and tolerating them very well. Toddler silverware and small plates have really helped me. I've also gotten used to chewing my food 50 million times before swallowing. My chief complaint is gas....but that has been since day one. I still taking the Cerafate but I'm almost out. Nurse told me I can take Gas X once I am out of the Cerafate. Not having any trouble with heartburn or reflux thank goodness. Had a nausea spell this morning but I think brushing my tongue triggered it. I was fine for the rest of the day. Making sure I am taking my vitamins

Wow....no my doctor strongly warned me to stay away from anything that has a lot of sugar....forever. The first ingredients you should be looking for in the protein shakes are whey protein isolate (not the whey concentrate) It's probably all the sugar content that is making you feel bad. You should not be consuming anything that is making you sick, I bought my Protein shake mix from my doc's office and it's called Bariatric Advantage. It's a little pricey but it is good. They have a website that you can order from. I would definitely stop drinking the Boost...sorry I can only imagine how you must feel. Get better.

My doctor said shakes like boost are off limits due to sugar and calories.

I just got home from the hospital today. Was sleeved July 30. I thought it was a piece of cake. Other than some wicked gas pains in my chest post surgery, I was out of bed walking right after recover...briefly, but walking. There is pain, but with meds it's manageable, and I suspect once I get a full night of uninterrupted sleep, i will feel like a new woman tomorrow!
