Hiya! Sleeved August 12th



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I was sleeved on August 12th. Had a very good surgery and have had an easy recovery. I am on phase 2 liquids, switch to puree on Thursday. Anyone who can offer some good foods for stage 3 i would love to see them.

Thanks!!

Jessica

I was sleeved on the 13th of August. It's getting really old having liquids. I have been adding a few crackers with cheese and chewing the heck out of them and it has helped me with getting some Protein. So far I'm down 26 pounds including the 10 I lost on the "liver shrinking" diet. I am still hungry throughout the day which I didn't think would be the case. However, seeing the scale number drop is totally WORTH IT!!!! I even had a small amount of frozen yogurt (the kind that comes out of a machine) and it was AMAZING and I didn't have any issues with it.

I was sleeved on Aug 11th. Everything has been going well, except I'm soooo tired of liquids and Protein shakes! 2 more days and I move on to soft foods! I'm down 17lbs which is amazing for 2weeks. I have been walking 3miles daily and I think that has really helped. Looking forward to losing more!

Focus on the future and not the food. Popsicles, broth, popsicles broth lol! Thousands have been where you are LOL, and that is such a distant memory 9 months later. Just improvise, add spices, mush and puree. Do not get ahead of yourself with the food. This is a life changer, and the honeymoon period is over for me and I am now having to work really hard to try to lose more. But it is the best time for you so stay focused and keep busy, keep your mind off food. Take a walk, do anything. I am happier than ever in so many years and my life (and my husband) has changed drastically. Wishing you so much happiness.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
