  • If you feel she is wrong then question her. It's YOUR health. It's YOUR life. Make your OWN informed judgement and add a dash of common sense. Sorry to sound harsh.

    I was on full liquids as soon as I could pass my swallow test. In the hospital less than 24 hours after surgery, my "food" tray had a Protein shake, Jello, and broth. You can't heal without protein

  • I will do that, I might just need an outlet

That last line that Protein drinks are high calorie liquids is insane. No protein they are starving her to death.

Is this a bariatric center of excellence?

. No kaiser. I do feel starved lol. Crazy right.

Eating before it’s time can be a big mistake. It’s not just about possibly feeling a little sick now. It’s about possibly having long-term consequences. Your sleeve is still healing from surgery. Eating something you shouldn’t could make the surgery wound more serious and cause a leak – not to scare you, just to explain why the “rules” are there!

Like the others said, try to consider whether it’s head hunger. Even if it’s not head hunger, it may be something you need to get used to. The sleeve doesn’t always eliminate all extra hunger – so you may need to get used to the feeling of some hunger as you lose weight.

Also, if you can get in that extra Protein, it can help. It's tough to get those shakes down, but maybe you can try different types/flavors and drink them really slowly.

I hope the hunger goes away soon and the pureed foods diet treats you well! Keep us posted. Good luck!

. Thank I believe not having the adequate amount of protein in making things worst but as I posted the picture my NUT said not worry about protein which seems off since that's all they have talked about in classes and appointments .. I believe it's head hunger because I'm fine until I have to feed my family. Thanks though I will hang in there.

Well honestly I tried to eat eggs 7 days post op. I do not recommend it!!!! I was starving and we were out of town and well..... Crap I did it. Annnndddd I puked, for hours. (Though not constantly). But a few days later I tried oatmeal( making it pretty thin) and omg! To be honest I bought unflavored whey protein (26 G protein per scoop) and added it to my oatmeal. That way I can cut back on my shakes, I'm seriously tired of then, and still get in all my protein for the day. Good luck chica, you can do it!

. Thank you. So much yea I'm going to wait . I'm to afraid of complications.

I wonder if your NUT is talking about the kind of protein drinks like Ensure or Boost. We were told not to use those because they're really for a different purpose and they are higher in calories.

I just had my sleeve surgery on the 27 of August and I'm doing alright I guess. I miss my favorite foods so much right now! Hungry, but I'm drinking more then eating because the food makes me nauseous. I'm on stage 2 and I cannot wait for stage 4. Is the coughing normal??
