I would say I have good days and bad days and seems as though the bad days are occurring more often, I just get tired of not being able to eat or keep anything down. I’ve been drinking plenty of water and trying to have something but it just doesn’t stay down. Far as my weight loss if feel like I should have lost more by now
Welcome to the group! I hate to read that your having so many issue after the surgery.
So the biggest thing I've noticed since joining this group is that a very common theme in reading the forums is how a large amount of sleeve surgery patients lose weight at a much slower rate than other patients. It takes a lot of patience on their part as it seems to be a slow process. But so many are successful over time, so don't lose hope!
Lack of protein causes a stumbling block in weight loss, along with fatigue and nausea, so I suggest you get at a minimum, the daily grams, and try to work your way into higher amounts as your body adjusts and heals.
I have a very blunt surgeon, who is kind of like 'House' from the show. Rude yet brutally honest. I like him, most don't, but he is very good at what he does. When I went for my first checkup, I was having similar issues. I wasn't hungry and I'm still not hungry. I have an extreme nausea side effect and had a major chest repair that made swallowing anything but fluids nearly impossible for a long time,
{4 months and counting} even now, eating is so very difficult. He smiled, and said "Your protein is your energy, your lifeline right now after surgery. It's what will get you out of bed in the morning and able to function throughout the day. Lack of it will either put you in the hospital or cause your heart to give out. It's your choice. I don't care how you get your protein, but it is essential, so make it happen if you want to live and be successful."
So, even if I have to plug my nose and drink an awful protein shake, or eat yet another bowl of soup that I've had to add protein powder to, I do it. Not because I am hungry and I have no way of knowing if I will get to keep it down, but because it is part of this journey and I know that it is essential. I would encourage you to figure out some way of getting in your protein as best you can. It's hard, but you can do this!
Also, please remember your not alone. So many people here have gone through the same or very similar circumstances. We get it, we are here for you, and I hope you are able to work your way through the issues. You can do this! Take things one day at a time, one pound at a time and don't let things overwhelm you. You can do this! Don't give up!
