Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Thanks Aniraclre for posting this! I am scheduled to go back tomorrow as I had my surgery on 3/7. I have the same concerns about eating at work, so if anybody has any suggestions I would be grateful!

Travel peeps! I took my first trip today and it was an easy day trip NYC-Toronto. I brought a shaker bottle with Protein Powder that I filled up with Water upon arrival as well as one of these Mama Chia pouches. They are 3.5 oz which is great because you can take them through security. Have an over night trip coming up next week to Vegas and am a little more concerned. Will keep ya posted on what I figure out! Sleeved 3/12.

Good to here someone else still has ab pain...I was beginning to think it was just me.

Not just you. My 6 incisions are painful, particularly the right side. They are just starting to itch a little bit. My sleeve was 3/16.

Omg! I am so sensitive to smells now. I’ve always been a little sensitive, but cooked foods literally make me nauseated now.🤢

I am noticing the same thing with certain smells. My hubby made burgers for lunch yesterday and I asked if he could eat them on a different floor of the house because the smell made me sick. I heard this will pass soon.

Food smells aren't making me sick. They're just kind of pleasant now and don't trigger hunger like they used to. I think though that I am ready for actual food. I'm sick of Liquid Protein. This next week is going to be a long one.

Just an hour flight in and out. I thought of it like a long commute. I feel mostly normal except mild abdominal pain when I move from sitting to standing and the fact that I can’t eat actual food. Hitting fluid/protein goals helps a lot as well as the belly binder. Also, I’ve been taking small walks every few hours since surgery which totals almost 3mi/day. I think all of these factors are helping with a speedy recovery.

OMG, do I agree. I am really ready to move on to mushy food but my surgeon says 2 weeks of Protein Shakes -- and i just started those today. How are we gonna do this?!?!?

We'll make it because this is a rite of passage: something we must do.

Good point, sigh. If I could do a week with diluted apple juice, I can do this, too.

Hey guys!! I had my follow up with my Specialist today. They did a body composition and showed how much not getting all my Protein in was hurting my body post surgery. [emoji21] My body is using my muscle for energy!!! Not my fat reserve. So I've decided to get serious. This little cup is what my body can tolerate at one time. That's 2oz. I mean- I feel like I could eat that in one bite BEFORE. What are some of your go to protein favs that you'd like to share? [emoji173]️

I’ve been doing fat free retried Beans with little bit of salsa and little bit of low fat shredded cheese. Also made ricotta bake which is really good. It’s lasagna without the noodles! I’ve also done tuna with low-fat mayo and pickle relish(sounds weird but is pretty good to)!

Ricotta bake sounds tremendous!!! Where did you find that recipe?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
