I just had my sleeve done on April 25th. I'm always worried I'm not doing my post op liquid diet correctly. Not sure what I'm doing or how I'm feeling is normal. This week has been a true testament of how weak I really am when it comes to food. food is always on my mind and I feel sorry for myself even though I don't know if I really want food or not. Hoping it gets easier.

Hey I had mine done on the 26th and I feel the same way! I have a craving to eat but not really hungry. I even dream about food. I feel like such a fattie. I'm getting tired of all the liquids but wouldn't dare try to eat anything as its still pretty sore swallowing.

Does you doctor have you on 2 weeks liquid diet post op? My instructions say not to try puree food until the end of week 3. I've been seeing some people post they ate pureed food in the second week. I don't want to chance it but was just curious if my doctor is being overly cautious.

just remember your goal and don't eat besides if you do you will probably throw up because your new stomach is only ready for liquids right now it will get easier after about 4 or 5 months but at that time you will probably only eat baby food puree baby food is what taste the best, blending yourself never could find the right smoothness then you usually go with the Protein shakes I did that for about 8months I lost 80 lbs very very happy exercise I gave myself the best gift a new life and I will not I mean never go back to being fat heck no I look fantastic and feel fantastic I go to orangetheory and work my butt off too wear the little clothes size 10-12 use to be 18-20 252-172 stand at 5'11 tomorrow morning 5:30am gym best workout early before work good luck don't sweat

      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!!
