Ok,,,,,,, One Week Post Op

Well....... I've made it! The 1st week is the one I feared the most, because you don't know what to expect, but over all its been good. I feel like I shaould have done this years ago and i already feel much healthier. Dr kim told me so many people promise that they will follow the diet, but some fail..... well I refused to be one of the failures. I 'v waited too long to feel better, bend over with out hurting and being able to sleep a full night. I find sleep very different than it's been for the last 5 years with sleep apnea. When i first came home I noticed that each morning i would have to burp for about 30 minutes after i was out of bed. I realized that during sleep i was swallowing air from the CPAP, so I will have to get that adjusted or I may not need it anymore.

You likely won't need it any more, or soon. I snored before my sleeve and my husband tells me I don't anymore. I also wish I would have gotten the sleeve years ago. But, this was the right time for me and I am thrilled. Congratulations on your accomplishments and, trust me, they - the accomplishments - do keep coming!

congrats on surviving the first week! it's something isn't it? regarding the CPAP, I read on one of these boards about making adjustments to it because there is too much air going into the stomach?? You may want to talk to your surgeon about it - or the CPAP folks to see what can be done.

what's not working with the pureed foods? Is it too filling?
