Post Op June 2014 Sleevers

[danaalonzo 1]

Hi. Got sleeved June 11th so a little over 2 weeks out. I have stalled already. Have lost 23 lbs total with 2 week pre-op diet which I think is great. 23 lbs in 4 weeks isn't anything to be ashamed about but I am so upset at the stall already. Anyone have any suggestions. I am getting about 50 grams of Protein. Eating a lot of refried Beans at this point tho so may be too much fat. Not walking like I should either. Gonna start that soon. Good luck to everyone. Hopefully my scale will move again soon ????

Hi! Congrats on the weight loss. It may be the refried beans in part. My surgeon doesn't allow starches, including potatoes and refried beans until 6 months out. Are the beans fat free?

Thanks @ Rome, no the Beans aren't fat free. Unfortunately my Nutritionist isn't experienced with weight loss patients. She has not told me anything other than get 60 oz of Fluid and 60 grams of Protein daily. I asked her several questions about products that I had read about on these boards such as unjury Protein chicken broth and a whey Protein Drink and she had never heard of them. She hasn't given me any suggestions on what is ok to eat or drink, so have basically been reading the boards to see what I should be doing.

man that would make it hard. For my soft foods I can so cottage cheese, yogurt light ones, sugar free Jello and pudding, puréed Soups, sugar free applesauce and Protein Shakes. My dr calls it the no lumps no bumps stage. For drinks Water, Decaf tea or coffee, propel, Vitamin water zero non fat milk, soy milk. I can also use the crystal light water flavoring which helps me get down more water.

@@danaalonzo sounds like you need to do your own research, google some sleeve diet plans or I can share with you my Kaiser instructions, let me know I would be more than happy to share.

@@danaalonzo, it sounds like you are in a tough situation! I agree with zussieq7- google! I know my program's dietary guidelines are online for the public to see. Great info for all stages, I pasted the link below, which you'll probably have to cut and paste into your browser.

awesome guidelines there. I really like how they give portion sizes as well. In my book we get it gives meal ideas but yours is way more in depth.

Am I the only June Sleever who has a Leak????

I'm curious to know true statistics.

[danaalonzo 1]

Omg Stacie thank u!! That is awesome info. I am only 16 days out but I have already had tuna. Guess I need to go back to more liquids since that is the stage that I should be in & wait till day 23 to eat any tuna or other meat. Really appreciate u sharing that with me. I feel awesome & haven't had any issues with anything that I have eaten but indefinitely want to follow a plan. Thanks again!!!

I am almost 3 and a half weeks out; my surgery was June 4th. Based on other diets I've seen on here, I almost feel like I am eating too much. I have been eating like 2 ounces of chicken or fish for a meal. My usual day consists of a scrambled egg w/ cheese for Breakfast and then 2 oz of chicken, fish, or lean turkey lunch meat for both lunch and dinner. I haven't had any nausea or sickness from it yet...

Hello all. My name is John. I was sleeved on June 18th, so I'm working on my second week on full liquids. Sure is a tough diet but I have a good support group helping me thru this. Good luck to everyone!!!

so far I think you are the only one I have seen. How are you feeling these days, any better?

you're welcome. That is what we are all here for. I'm on soft foods till 4 weeks out then I can add in tuna, potatoes mashed, etc. then 8 weeks out try to start normal foods.

[danaalonzo 1]

I am the same way Amanda. I wasn't really given a plan to follow. Just told to get 60 oz of Protein so I have been eating about 2 ounces of high protein foods also. But looking at the plans on here I shouldn't be eating them yet. Haven't had nausea or any issues.
