Jackie's post sleeve diary

[Debs!]

I must try mixing the yoghurts. I liked the Liberty lemon 3% fat ones but they seem to have stopped doing them. The only 3% ones I can find are the peach and they are too sweet. So I will try the fage How are you girls doing today?

I am good Kirsty - but I see you've been hooked to Fage dark side!!!

Have a fab Sunday xx

Good morning Kirsty . Have you fret recovered from yesterday. Lol no way could I have managed that, I needed. 4 hour sleep after Sainsbury's trip. :8855:

Fine this morning, just waking up to day 11 post op.

Back taking my asthma meds regular and feel bloated, grr steroids. This is another reason my scales can wait I would probably show a gain today of a couple of pounds and start tearing my hair out. No, never again will an inanimate object dictate my mood.

Well maybe the husband.... :8855:

I only like the blueberry and the Mango. Fage I only have plain mixed with other stuff. I tried it with Fresh strawberry blitzed with a little honey but found it a bit sour. Was probably the strawberries.

Get a few different ones and try them, it depends how sweet you like stuff..I think liberte and danio are sweetest which I love! Arla are very bitter and fage have a weird taste...can't describe it really!

Thanks I love the Liberte ones and I have the Danio ones to try. Feel really sick today. Had fish pie for tea and I feel a bit yuk now! Think it was a bit too lumpy.
When does the tiredness ease????

I was tired for a good 8 weeks due to healing and the lack of calories! Even now I'm tired out come 8pm but I'm more of a morning person anyway!!

Last 3 days my tiredness has been overwhelming, but getting good sleeps

Oh well, hopefully only another 5 weeks to go! If it wasn't for the tiredness it would be brill. Was hoping to go back to work this week but might go back week after.

On a plus note, I do feel really positive that I can do this and my sleeve IS going to help me! I do feel like getting to know it is like learning a new language LOL. I think I burp when either full or hungry, I get lots of different gurgling noises which I am still trying to interpret ha ha!

I have to say though for being only 2 weeks and 5 days post op I feel remarkably well (ish).

This week I am going to up my protein and fluids!

Go me! Thanks for all the support everyone xxx

You are doing so well. Tiredness is normal. I under estimated the operation and was planning to back to work one week after the operation but taking two weeks off was a more sensible thing to do. I was out and abouts but felt dizzy.
You will be much better off 've you move onto normal food. I am relatively new and working towards long term success but currently, the sleeve is working for me. Oh freedom from over eating is great!

 

[carol.s]

Thanks Carol, any news for you? x

Nothing much happening just waiting to see the diabetic team again on Tuesday 23rd.

Sorry the fish pie was not good for you. Maybe a wee step too far too soon

The tiredness sucks. But one day a few weeks down the line you will think my I didn't need a snooze today....and it just gets better with more good energy days than bad. It's all part of the process. I think further down the line we forget that awful dragging yourself with every step feeling ;-) it's a tough one but you will get there all in good time xxxx. I remember my first day back at work. My head was on the desk by 3.30 and I had to go home early. It took weeks for that afternoon exhaustion to leave me

Great to see you so positive, I think, well am hoping lol, that increasing the protein will lessen the tiredness. Cant wait for my puree stage to do that. I think you are doing brilliantly, remember still very early days. Hugs x

Day 21

2lbs loss this week. I am happy with this. I have had a period for the 1st time in a couple of years (TMI) so I am surprised with any loss!
Feeling ok just still having trouble judging whether I am eating too much or too little.
Average daily intakes looks something like this:
B - 1/2 Weetabix
L - Liberte or Danio yoghurt
T - Pureed shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese, soup etc.
S - Protein drink (UFit) or laughing cow light wedge

After I ate my tea last night I had a fit of the gurgling and bubbling. It is so weird. Will this continue? Not sure whether I will ever get used to it!
Going back to work on Thursday but just going to work from home for the first couple of days. Then on Monday I am off to Brighton on conference for a few days. I am so looking forward to getting back to normal, however I am really nervous about eating out and at the hotel. It is mainly the thought of sitting at a table trying to co-ordinate the eating and drinking!
Anyway, hope life is good for everyone. Take care

[Kar8858]

Well done!! You will be ok at work, just have a bottle of water and make sure you leave half an hour before and after food..sip sip sip! I buy 509ml bottles for work so I know how much I've drunk in a day!
