I was sleeved on Monday, I am not having any issues getting any of my fluids in and I usually eat 2cream Soups a day a sf ff Jello or pudding in between and a shake in the morning.

I haven't been counting calories or Protein like I should be but I think it is close to where it should be.

I was just wondering what and how everyone else is eating?

I'm eleven days post op and was craving savory - so tired of all the artificial sweeteners - so I made hummus for the family, reserved the liquid from the can and thinned it down more. I blended the heck out of it so no little pieces remained. Oh, it was bliss as I ate it with my tiny, tiny spoon.

1 can chick peas (reserve liquid in the can - use it to thin to proper consistency)

1/4 cup tahini

juice of 1 lemon

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp corriander

1 clove garlic minced

salt

I'm nearing into my three weeks and so far I've been eating 1/4 cup of baked salmon and 1/4 cup crab meat (because that's what I made a week ago), but this new week I'm gonna try cottage cheese, boiled egg, and a few pieces of thawed shrimp (from trader joe's).

How in the world are you all getting that much in? I am 9 days out and can't get more than 1-2 ounces at a time. I can only manage 12-16 oz of Water a day and 20-25 grams of Protein. My tummy does not want much more. I wish I could drink, I am having low energy.

I agree that there is no way I could get that much in at a time. My surgery was on the 15th, too. I'm only allowed 1 protein shake per day and drink (sip) 1/3 cup at a time.

But... 12-16 oz of Fluid a day does not sound like enough! What is your total when you include protein shakes, broth, popsicles? Over the course of the day, I've been getting 56-60 oz. You have to be really careful to avoid dehydration--you don't want to wind up back in the hospital on IV fluids!

I should have said 12-16 oz of water, not including the protein and Popsicles.

I was sleeved on 6/17. My plan is to drink two Protein shakes daily, i'm using Premier Protein. Besides that I have homemade chicken broth(5 oz) usually for dinner. I just sip all day long. I also drink decaf tea/coffee, Vitamin Water zero, sugar-free popsicles and water. My goal is at least 48oz. I'v made that goal most days.

Great suggestions. It's amazing how different everyone's eating plans are.

Sleeved 6/22 - just came home.

Sipping on fortified skim milk (skim milk with 3 tbsp powdered milk added for 18 gm protein.)

Having trouble eating much but getting fluids ok (about 40 out my goal of 64 daily.)

Sleeved 6/22 too...I was told water, sugar free jello, protein shakes, sugar free juices. So far I can tolerate each one very little. Feeling like I have gas in my chest still though. What vitamins is everyone taking?

My surgeon has you wait until the second week to start taking supplements. I was sleeved 6/15 and am now taking Opurity Calcium citrate, and Centrum Chewables Multivitamins.

I was sleeved on June 9th. I'm also very limited as to what I can consume. Can usually only consume 3-4 ounces at. Today's totals were 25 grams protein and 34 ounces fluids -- mostly from fat free milk and sugar free popsicles. Water tends to come right back up. Having pretty severe naseau so not trying to push it too much.
