Topic: Surgery Update and Questions
Dear All -
My surgery was April 27th. I can't believe how smooth it was...I'm so thankful for the caring people who surrounded me at Hurley Medical Center. Their Bariatric Team is top notch.
Since the surgery I have been able to consume very little. According to my nutritionist, I should be able to eat about 2oz protein. That is not happening. After about three bites (well chewed) semi-soft diet, I am feeling quite full. Is this normal? I certainly don't want to stretch my sleeve. I am supposed to consume 60-80 grams of protein daily. It takes me 1.5 to 2 hours to get down a protein shake.
Also, I've been without carbonated beverages (Pepsi Max) for over a month now...but the craving for carbonation is still there. I think about it all the time. Any suggestions?
Thank you all for your support. I can't tell you how much comfort I get from these pages.

You're doing wonderful! Don't think negative about the weight loss. Think positive about your health benefits! I struggled to begin with too. I had to retrain my mind to think positivly and to remember that this is a long term committment. It (unfortuantely) won't all fall off in the first three weeks! But it will come off! Hang in there!

I am 10 days post op and having a few issues... I have not been getting my 8 glasses of water a day, yesterday I barely got 2 glasses, im trying harder today. I hate my centrum chewables... I did not ask this but why cant I just take regular centrum? will it not obsorbe? oh and the iron im taking is not a chewable is that ok? im so confused. as for what I am eating since im now on puree, im still barely eating anything, yesterday I had probably an ounce of puree tuna and got in 1 protine shake but could not get a second in.
I am still in a little pain, mostly in my new stomach, its more like discomfort. I just hope I will feel normal again soon, I miss life.

Hello!
I am 3 weeks out today. Feeling pretty good. I have been struggling with feeling really cold (it has been in the 80's here) and feelingretty tired. I realized that my vitamin did not have iron in it so I found one that did and it really has helped.
Doing okay with weight loss. 14lbs since surgery. I would like to have more.. But who wouldn't.
No real pain anymore. Sometimes am little incision discomfort but other than that, not much.
So happy I have the sleeve!
Go team April
