Any December 30th Sleevers ?!

[Alesha34 4]

I was sleeved on December 30th and was glad to run across this thread. Love to read other people's experiences that are around the same stage as me. The first week and a half after surgery for me was rough, a lot of pain and also had the unexpected death of my dad three days after my surgery. food has always been my comfort in stressful situations, so in one of the most stressful events in my life I had to find new ways to cope. All is well now, I'm physically feeling better than I have in years. My weight the day of surgery was 255 and this morning I'm 234. I haven't had any problems with nausea, getting Water or Protein down, or intolerance to any foods. I can pretty much eat anything (of course avoiding breads, rice, sugar) and tolerate it. There are still days or moments when I look at my husbands plate and wish I could enjoy a plate of food but it doesn't take long for that to pass. I am thankful for this tool and will not take it for granted

@@Big_Mama I have no idea what type of pain it is. I just know it comes in waves and when I'm not even eating. I am gonna call someone right now, because today is the 4th day. I can tolerate pain but, to be safe.

@@Alesha34 welcome to the 30th thread and I was sleeved on the 30th as well. First, I am very sorry for the loss of your father. That must have been tough 3 days after? Wow. I hope you are okay now and doing well with your sleeve.

@@bellabill Yes it was a very rough 3 days but doing well now. I was down 21 lbs this morning. Haven't had any problems at all. I am making sure I measure out everything because I feel like I could probably eat more that I should.

Have any of you tried bread? I was recently cleared to have toast but I haven't done it yet. I was afraid because I heard it doesn't go well after surgery. I was offered a biscuit today. I used to love biscuits but I was afraid to try it so I threw it away! Have any of you tried a biscuit yet? If so how did it go?

[Alesha34 4]

I have had some whole grain crackers but no bread or biscuits.. I was told it's ok to have maybe a wheat tortilla or something like that but avoid bread. I would especially avoid biscuits.

I've tried just about everything. I tried a few bites of a sandwich recently and found out bread is still a no-no for my sleeve. I've been able to tolerate one cracker per meal.

Does anyone have myfitnesspal? If so, I want to know what do you have your nutrition set on..ex Protein, fat an carb to equal 100%.

[bellabill 253]

How is everyone doing so far? 2 months now! I have had some trial and errors. Sometimes I go over my 800 calorie a day...needing to tighten the reins. Managing Proteins and Water can be a challenge! I hope I am not the only one?

[Karenlrn 41]

You are not the only one. Like they told us it is a tool but we still have to manage our Protein, drink enough Water, and use our limited stomach space for protein. Sometimes I have gone over 800 not too bad 1,000 once nothing like the amounts I could eat pre surgery. I also have to try to disipline myself to eat whats good for me instead of what I want sometimes. I hope I'm not the only one but I do get hungry for things I shouldn't have and my sleeve tolerates most foods well. I'm grateful that I still have to eat small quantities.

[bellabill 253]

I am trying to curb the grazing. A taste of this and that can lead to other bad habits. It's not always so I am being cautious of what goes in my mouth. Thank God for the fitness pal which really helps with regulating calories. I am also getting back into weighing my meat.. 4 oz can easily become 6--8 oz.

Has anyone tried raw veggies yet? I've been eating a decent amount of cooked vegetables, but I can't remember what the rule is about raw?
