Hello!! I am looking for some fellow April Sleevers for some encouragement during this time!

Where is everyone at during their new journey?

I am getting my surgery date right after I finish my second Pysch Eval Beginning of April

I can not wait! I have already started replacing meals with Protein as suggested by my NUT I had a rough day yesterday after about 2 weeks or a little less of it but today I feel fantastic!!

My surgery was on the 21st and as of this morning I have lost 11 pounds!!!!

Day 3 post op... Starting to feel a bit hungry any suggestions???

I'm in pre-op now! Excited!

I'm 1 week post op and have not been hungry at all. But you could try more protein and water.

no but I'm trying

I am 1 week out also! So far I've lost 14 lbs. I have been able to get 60 grams of protein in the last couple of days (unfortunately, my goal is 77-96 grams...so I'm still not at my goal).

I have a lot of tummy rumbling, my sleeve is very noisy. I have times where I feel hungry also, but I've seen on this board that many times than can be stomach acid and not true hungry. So I'm trying to just focus on drinking as much as I can and it seems to help. When I really feel hungry then I have applesauce, broth, jello, or yogurt, those are all on my plan for now. I don't get to soft foods until 22 days post-op.

What are you using for protein?

I'm using Premier Protein shakes, Isopure zero carb ( in the glass bottle) and Cocotein (similar to Isopure but tastes a little better).

So not actual powder, all pre made shakes?

My surgery was April 13. Am on my first day of soft food after 11 days of puréed food. Everything has worked smoothly. First follow up with my surgeon on the 6th of May. Walking 2 miles a day.

How much are you able to drink in one sitting as far as ounces go?

I was sleeved on the 21st and am not allowed protein yet, clear liquids for the 1st week following surgery. I have my 1 week follow up tomorrow and hopefully will be allowed to add protein and be on full liquids.

So not actual powder, all pre made shakes?

Yes, all premade. It seemed like premier protein had excellent reviews and most people really like it, so I gave it a try and liked it and stuck with it. I added in the Isopure for variety (it tastes more like unsweetened kool aid). I have ordered a sample of Unjury unflavored and I'm waiting on it to arrive. I hope that I like it so that I can add it to applesauce.

How much are you able to drink in one sitting as far as ounces go?

I'm able to get in between 10-15oz in one sitting (over probably 10-15 minutes). At first it was not easy to get that much in at all. But in the last couple of days I feel like the swelling has gone down a lot and it's easier to get more in.

I definitely feel like staying focused on drinking is going to be one of my struggles when I return to work. I'm usually not one to drink a bunch while at work... so I'm going to have to try to come up with a way to keep myself focused on it... because it seems that if you go too long without drinking it's really hard to catch up.
