Sleeve on 7/29 (or close), how are we doing?



Recommended Posts

Surgery on 7/29. Am on liquid diet, plus Protein Drinks. Suppose to do this until 21 days. I would like something more before then, some yogurt or watered down outmeal. Wanted to see where others that were sleeved around the same time is with their diet.

I was sleeved on 7/31 and I am feeling fantastic! I was feeling great the day after surgery and have had zero complications so far. I walk a lot, am getting 60-70g of Protein a day. I'm just working on upping my calories since I'm on the low end still and trying to drink as much Water as possible.

I'm on Protein shakes and broths mixed with unflavored Protein. Not sick of them yet, I'm stocked up and ready for my puree stage. Looking forward to a little more sustenance.

I was sleeved on 7/29 as well. I start my stage 2 diet on Thursday where I can eat eggs, fish, soft cooked veggies. I'm assuming all surgeon diets are different. I was able to have 1tb spoon of oatmeal during this stage, besides my Protein Shakes and broth.< /p>

I start stage two after 2 weeks. So this coming weekend I'll start easing into them. I'm taking it slow to avoid any complications and to get the maximum weight loss. I don't want to ruin this lol

Let me know how stage 2 goes, my dr does not move to stage 2 until 21 days. Let me know what goes down easy and what did not go so well.

Are you doing any sort of physical activity? If you are staying mostly sedentary that could affect it, or you may be shrinking and just not having the lbs come off. Up your activity and see what happens

That's great! Maybe try to break it up into a few walks throughout the day. Every bit helps.

You and I were sleeved on the same day. I still have 6 more days of liquid diet left before moving to the soft foods stage. I cannot wait.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
