My surgeon says for me not to worry about Protein just yet. First we get in sugar free liquids and that's all I need on my mind. Then comes Proteins a week or so later. <br><br> As for popping a out a poop, my bro in law sharted and only realized it once he got up to walk. So yeah, do not trust a fart this early on. My sister was like "well, I just had to wash Doug's ass, this is my punishment in life" lol

Oh my gosh that's funny! I'm def gonna have to be careful, no sharting for me. I would be mortified and anybody who knew would never let me forget it lol!

I just had my sleeve 2/17. It's been more difficult than I thought , but everyday gets a little better.

The first three days were the hardest for me. Hopefully you begin to feel much better from here on out.

Finally home. Still haven't passes gas or pooped. I'm so damn bloated, it sucks. Lol but hopefully being at home and taking a shower will help. Besides that, I'm doing pretty good.

I just really want the gas or whatever to go away. Like I wish I could bend over or something. I've even had 2 fingers up my butt, and some milk of magnesia. Nothing.

But. I know it'll get better, so I just keep telling myself that over and over. :)

if you do 2 premeir Protein Shakes a day that gives you 60 grams of Protein for the day

I don't think you need to call your dietician yet. My hospital makes us see our dietician one week out (group class) and everyone was struggling to meet their protein needs. I was only getting one shake a day and they were okay as long as I drank all my Water.

Ok thanks Jen! I am working on a Protein Shake right now! Looks like I didn't really make a dent in it yet!!

The first day I finished a whole shake was Wednesday which was day six for me. I took it to my group class with a lot of ice. It was a 2 hour class from 10-12 so I made it at 8 like normal and took it with. I finished the shake and a 16oz bottle of Water. I was so proud. But I don't usually sit around and have time for that. I have my daughter to watch/run around with at home so I set it in the fridge and end up focusing in water and forgetting the shake in the fridge. Lol. I have gotten better though.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
