I was sleeved October 18th by Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. I'm really struggling with ideas of things to eat. Anybody here give me ideas on things you did; especially the first few weeks. Protein ideas please! Please!

Good luck today!

Good luck to all of today's sleevers.

Nothing. Wasn't even mentioned.

Thanks! Me either and I know each doc is different - I think I worry too much I guess

Good luck and prayers for all getting sleeved today.

I was sleeved on oct 21st. Ive been having pre made protein shakes from premier protein from costco not a whole lot of it, about 2 oz each meal, cream of chicken or mushroom strained, plain non fat Greek yogurt with a pinch of cinnamon and Splenda, I have also had chicken broth with protein powder .. Hope this helps! Good luck!

i tried to have a little scrambled egg at my Rotary breakfast - fail! At least about three mouth fulls went down, but then I had to rush out before the three mouthfuls came back up again!!! Yep, all I can do is protein shakes, milk, yogurt and soups. Never mind - I guess that's the idea!

Congrats to you all you!!! Very helpful post! It's good to learn all you're posting for us pre-op's.

I'm schedule for 11/15/13, starting diet 11/1

I have several inquiries

Anyone a diabetic type 2?

High blood pressure?

Are you off all meds after your WLS?

Are you you able to sleep in your side after surgery?

Do they strap you down on the surgery table! I don't like feeling of being pindown or strapped for anything. Freaks me out

I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, do they give Meds before surgery to help calm nerves down?

Any replies abt getting off meds? I sleeved Oct 22 and left hospital on 30% of my lantus. Added 2 metformin back so far. Not taking Novalog or Invokana now. Not wildly happy--wanted to leave hospital on no meds, but at least it's less. I'm hoping not to add a third metformin pill back.

How about you?

I was taken off of simvastatin but stayed on Wellbutrin
