Am I overdoing it?



Recommended Posts

I just had my sleeve done on Thursday 11/8-

On Thursday i had no food, just ice chips,

Friday- i do not know how much intake i had, very little i think about 20-30 ounces

Saturday- i believe it was 38

Sunday- 50 and got all my Protein in

Today- Its 430pm, and i am at 65 with half protein in. I started this morning at 7 am on a 20 ounce water.. when i got to work at 8 am i put it aside and had 10 ounces of coffee with 2ounces of protein for creamer.. finished the coffee by 10 am. I then went back to the Water and finished it around noon. At noon I went to my Protein Shake and finished it around 130, I then made a 24 ounce of water and just finished it about 430pm. I found i had to constantly sip all day. I never got hungry but constantly every few minutes had a sip or two going down.

It still hurts a bit going down.. like pressure i am not sure why or if its trying to pass the gas that may still be there. I still have a protein shake to go this evening, and can do more water, but i am almost at the mindset, that i have reached the goal for the day. Is it possible to drink to much? Its going down and staying down.

I also was excited today that i was able to have a small BM for the first time since Wednesday. I think I will need some myralax or something or Smooth Move just in case as it was not normal but verge of Constipation, but at least it moved.

Thanks for your input.

As long as you are comfortable, feeling no ill effects and following your plan you should be fine.

consult your team if anything changes.

Congrats and Safe Journey!

I think it sounds like your doing well? But see if sipping a little more slowly makes that pain or discomfort go away? Hard to say? Are you taking liquid tylenol? I think I was still doing that at day 4?

I still have probs with going to the bathroom. I sometimes have to have some milk of mag. But if you are able to get th fluids down that's great. Moving around helped me with pain, like walking in my house or around the house. I came home with something for pain, but I couldn't take it because I now can't stand the taste of crushed up meds. So, I took very little Tylenol one day, but I stay away from acetametaphin if I can.

I feel like you are drinking plenty of fluids and moving really helps the bowl movements. I would try more of that to get it going! I am on day 6:of my liquids and feel like it is going well boo issues but I am still taking the Tylenol. Thought had to finish it?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
