New sleeve - 9/13

Hi everyone,

  I had my sleeve done on 9/13....so far it's going pretty good except I'm still having trouble with nausea certain times of the day, mostly afternoons.  It's so hard to eat the amount of protein and keep up the fluids that the doctor wants when you are never hungry...this is a such a new feeling for me. :) Anyone else dealing with this?

Yes, I find it difficult to get it all in, but find that planning and really working at it helps. I find most days I can get the 60 grams of protein the dr wants me to get and sometimes I get a little more. Water is harder, usually get just enough, but many times only get 48 ounces of water because I just can't get it in. Not being hungry is really weird. I have not dropped any weight on scale since my two week appt which was a week ago, at first I was freaking out, but my clothes keep getting looser and I realized that many times it takes the scale time to catch up to the weight we are losing because the weight seems to come off faster than your body can keep up so am not worried about it. There is no way I can't be losing weight on the litte bit of food I have been eating. The not being hungry is very weird, not needing to have to eat and that ravenous hungry feeling that you got when you had not eaten for 3-4 hours is no longer there. I am basically forcing the stuff down now to get enough protein. I want to stop after couple bites, but I know I won't get protein in if I do so I keep eating until I get it in and most times it can take 45 min to an hour to get it down. The protein shakes go down easy only takes about 1/2 hour to get in. Had lots of issue with constipation, but I got it flowing and now last 2 days nothing, that is frustrating to me. I don't feel regular unless I go every day. Milk of magnesia helped, but is horrible. I got thrush in hospital and did not go away when I went home so had to get more meds and when they were gone I still have it so am on meds again. I also have a bladder infection and sinus infection and am on antibiotics for that. Hope fully will be feeling better soon. Good luck to you and keep drinking and trying to get in your protein.
