Hey fellow sleevers. How is everyone doing? Wheres all my October sleevers? How r u doing with these changes? Ive finally been able to go to the bathroom at least weekly now, but i do have to take something. Are you guys crushing your pills if you have to take a pill? Somethings are just so time consuming that i forget and swollow them and then have a panick attack for the rest of the day. I dont try to just obsess over my new sleeve so the other day i actually ate a potatoe chip that my granddaughter put in my mouth. It was a plain lays and it went down good and it tasted even better but i felt so bad that i literally called my nutritionist the next morning.....im still on the puree food. What phases are the rest of the oct people since not all drs follow the same phases.? Good luck to us all

I was sleeved 10/21 and I'm a little discouraged because the scale hasn't moved in a whole week! I lost 10 pounds since surgery but I don't know why it is still sitting at the same number! It's only been 2 weeks how could I stop losing after my first week? I'm getting 60 g of Protein in daily, 64 oz Fluid. I'm on full liquid and about to transition to purée. I haven't eaten anything with sugar... what's the deal??

I'm two weeks post op. Have no trouble with liquids or Protein drinks. I stated eating lots of broth from homemade soups and "caldos". I stated nibbling on carrots and potatoes to see if I could Handel them. I pureed one Soup too and it went well. Now I'm scared that I'm overconfident and not following orders. I eat a poached egg and 2 tablespoons of refried Beans for breakfast. I don't know how awful this is, I been craving greens and nibble on a tiny spinach and tomato salad. Haven't has pain or felt too full. I'm starting to question my resolve and will power.

Surgery 10/18 and started puree this Thursday and eating is freaking me out. I've tried yogurt, cottage cheese, lentil soup and Saturday I tried premade pouch tuna salad. I assumed the nausea I was experiencing was from my cancer meds but maybe it's from the surgery too.

Today was the first time I didn't lose over night. Trying not to freak out. I finally found a way to get all the Protein in..... flavorless GENEPRO in sugar free pudding (1tblsp = 30g)

Still in muscular pain from the surgery and exercise is still difficult but I'm building up every day.

I do see the loss in clothes. Mostly shirts as my abdomen is still kind is swollen.

I did make the ricotta bake but found myself eating too much.

Anyone else having trouble determining full.... at first with liquids I figured it out right away. Now I can't really tell which scares me.

One serving of GENEPRO is roughly 10g of Protein, not 30. It is scientifically impossible and this is now proven. Please use with caution.

How many times are people eating a day ? Today I've had 1 egg scrambled , yogurt for lunch and having a bowl of homemade Soup for my tea. I have also had 2 small spoonfuls of cottage cheese. I've not lost any weight for 2 weeks and wondering if I'm doing something wrong, am I eating enough ?

I'm struggling with hating the feel of my stomach being full. It's emotionally hard. I eat 2 ozs and I feel like it's right up to my esophagus. For the next 3 hours anything I drink feels like it's just sliding around my food Torpedo as I like to call it. I hate the feeling so much and I'm becoming depressed. LIke, it's one thing to deal with all of these side effects and healing, but it's another to always be in discomfort after eating and I fear I will never feel OK again. I cried for almost 24 hours straight from Friday to Saturday because I feel like my life is suppose to get better, not worse. I can't resume my normal life yet, eating is so hard and I feel like maybe I ruined my entire life with this. I'm sure these feelings will pass but the longer it takes for me to feel like a normal human being the more depressed I feel. like reall depression.

I can handle the struggles of a modified diet, but the fact that the act of eating is so difficult and takes up my entire day and even then I'm not getting everything in that I need? I'm failing both emotionally and Protein wise. I feel like I now just live to eat and drink and be uncomfortable. I'm getting for reals depressed. I have a call into my surgeon asking about the issues of my sleeve discomfort but I'm sure they will just say this is normal.

Doesn't sound like enough Protein to me.

Hopefully they can help you! I had RNY Oct 3rd and don't have issues with 2oz of food. But depending on what it is, I find I get full quicker. Chew chew chew and small bites helps. Maybe they have a therapist that can help too? This stage doesn't last forever and you should be able to eat comfortably in the future.

I was sleeved on 10/27, I still hurt but am ok. I have to set timers all day to know what I need to be doing.

ex...

8-8:30am drink/eat nothing

8:30-9am eat

9-9:30am drink/eat nothing

9:30-10:30 drink

I repeat that all day long to get in my 6 meals.

I am down 22 pounds in 11 days and am happy with that. I am so nervous it won't work or I will do something wrong and mess it up.

I have been swallowing pills since day 2, nothing bigger than a plain M&M. They go down fine. I am using Vitamin Patches and I hope they are working!

What are you guys eating if you are on full clears? I am dying for a change.
