February sleevers

[Kiwwi1991 8]

I was sleeved 12th, body is feeling weird. My stomach is a symphony of noises. It's weird. I don't think I am getting enough Protein in because I am weak most of the day after doing anything like taking care of my six year old.

I sleep a lot

I get my walking in

I still have terrible diarrhea that I have to take Immodium for everyday

I start purred foods monday. Hoping that helps with the energy level of getting more Proteins in

other than that I don't look like a person whose had surgery.

Can I get invited to the Facebook group as well?

Seems everyone's eating at different times and diffrent foods/broths/purred foods that their dr says is good.

WEird

i have to be on 10 days of Clear liquids only, 10 days of purred mushy food, 10 days of starting real tiny pieces of Protein food, week 4 starts all normal food.

Seems that all dr's should be on the same pge

I feel like that from time to time. One thing that helps is making sure you are getting calories in. Granted, we don't want a lot, but I made the mistake of not thinking about it and I fell into a shakey, heart racing state. So long as you are getting protein in, try to add things that may up, slightly, your calories. You may be just not getting enough for what you use for energy. Also, make sure to eat multiple times a day. My doctor said it should be 5 to 6 small meals. Meaning liquid meal if you are at that stage. When you get to puree, try some mashed bananas as a snack, Protein powder can be added to this or it can be added to a shake. I started puree stage just recently but I had a bad bought of nausea last night so I'm gonna be on liquids again today and maybe tomorrow.

I was sleeved on February 12th.

I haven't loss any weight since I've been home from the hospital ( day 7)

But I did loose 15lbs since I started the preop liquids.... Anyone else had issues loosing after they went home ?

Sleeved on February 5 feel great just don't like the stalls. Would like to see more weight loss. Getting close to loosing 50 seems like should see more eating 500 to 600 calories a day. Biggest problem is drinking enough Water.

I was sleeved on the 3rd and I'm down 17 lbs. I feel great, but Protein shakes/powders are not my friend! UGH!!! I hate even thinking about them! I drink them, but not without poor Sleevie Plunder objecting viscously!!!

Taste buds have changed a bit! I loved coffee before. Now it's all I can do to get a cup in the morning! I know a lot of people have this problem...tastes changing!!! Weird!!!

Good luck to everyone!!

Hi. I'm new here. I was sleeved on the 9th. And although the first week I was pretty miserable, I'm doing so great now.

I too was sleeved this month on the 11th and just joined here today. So far so good. It's interesting that everyone's doctor has them on different post op diets. My diet is supposed to be pureed-type foods for the first two weeks.

[Nomoresupertreesa 6]

I'm on liquids only for 2 weeks. Then purées for 4 weeks. At 6 weeks I graduate to soft food.

I had surgery this past Monday. Have been on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks. Did anyone have trouble switching to all liquids when they could? (Pudding, yogurt, cream of wheat, etc). I am really hoping I can handle some of that when its time. Today has been the worst day since my surgery. Gas pain and wanting food so bad!!!

[Kiwwi1991 8]

I was never put on a clear liquid diet, just straight liquids at first. I have had issues with switching to puree though. Just take it slow, take a sip and let it sit. You will know soon if you can handle it. Don't push yourself though, just keep trying new things. Good luck!

Hiiiii!!! I had my surgery on Feb 16 and have been feeling really good!!! Though the first day was HORRIBLE! I am currently still on a clear liquid diet after tomorrow I will be onto purée food and I can't wait! I am having the hardest time with Protein ugh but I have to find ways to get more in because I do not want to looses my hair I've worked so hard to grow lol!!!

I was sleeved on Feb. 3rd. I was told to do liquids for 2 weeks post-op, and now I'm on soft Proteins. I didn't have a pureed stage. I have been trying one new thing at a time and going very slowly. I was feeling extremely weak before I started my soft proteins and Vitamins. I still feel that way occasionally now, but it's getting better. I'm trying to learn all the new sounds and feelings my body has now. Sometimes when I eat something, the best way I can describe how I feel is to say I feel "weird."

Can you give me some examples of soft proteins?

[Soready2lose 49]

@@tycolt1225, Sure! My soft Protein list only has 5 things: scrambled eggs, soft cheese, plain Greek yogurt, refried Beans, and tuna or chicken salad with only the meat and condiment (no celery, carrots, etc.).
