My gastric sleeve journal



Recommended Posts

Day 2, was rough ride home but made it. I'm doing ok. Protein is not going down as easy as it use to but I am drinking my fluids. Already my pcp is worrying about my blood pressure being to low but I assured her I feel better when it's low. Just going to have to keep an eye on it while loosing weight. Hope I have a speedy recovery I'm ready to get on living this life

I am having a very hard time getting Protein down. Liquids go down fine but Protein is very slow. But the pain medicine gets me sick if I don't have the protein in me

Try drinking at different temps - it might go down better. You can also add unflavored Protein powder to broth or fluids.

I have to say this has been the most painful surgery I've been through, wish I could fast foward through the recovery process..lol I do believe each day is getting better, but only getting 30 grams of Protein in a day after 30 I feel like I just ate a whole thanksgiving meal. I'm miserable but then my mind can't wait til I can eat some kind of food. Today I walked a lot more. Only taking 2 pain pills a day off course they make me sick with no food in my belly. Just getting one step closer ...lol

Yeah today I only took 2 pain pills and got down 60 grams of Protein. I can't wait til the swelling goes down. Anyone care to tell me how many days it takes for the swelling to decrease?

What swelling are you referring to?

Great on getting your 60 g of Protein down.

How many days are you post-op now?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
