I may not see it so much yet in the mirror, but I can definitely feel a difference from losing the first 21 pounds off my body. I can walk up stairs without being out of breath, I can sleep on my back without being woken up from my gasping snores. My size 18 pants fit loosely while I was wearing size 22 my blood pressure has been normal ever since. This one is TMI, but after I clean myself after using the bathroom, I am not short of breath like I just walked up a hill. I noticed I'm smiling more, and that people are smiling at me. I guess I used to not have good eye contact lol. I can walk in a mall with my energized hubby n son and not have to stop n sit for a few minutes because I'm tired, and my back hurts. So far this is just a few things I've noticed. Can't wait to keep going ! Can't wait to see what 50lbs loss will do to my body! Thanks for listening!

I am on full liquids, surgery was june 23! And I'm hungry! I think its because we are only getting liquids in. And we won't. Start getting full till we start eating soft and solid food. I had my post op yesterdat and my surgeon said its ok to be hungry ( I was hoping he would advance me early to soft foods. But he didn't my stomach growls all the time before during and after I take something in. But I am starting to realize that my head is what's telling me I'm hungry, my stomach is just talking!

i was sleeved on 6/23/11 and im in the same boat as you!! Stomach is LOUD as heck, burping 24/7. And im hungry

That will definately be one of the questions I will ask my surgeon! I see him friday. Post op diets are so different! R u able to have soups! ? My doc said I could eat anything I put in a blender n that will fit thru a straw. I haven't really done that cuz I'm scared. But tonight I added cheese to my creme of chicken soup and it made it more tasty. Like a real food, kinda anyway!

I was sleeved on june 23rd and I too am struggling with getting all my liquids and protein in. However I am hungry!! And need more than just liquids n soups! Am I the only one hungry? hope there's nothing wrong with my new tummy! I feel like I can always take in more soup but stop because I'm scared ill over eat

that sounds sooooooooooo good right now! Are these foods like low cal or just regular foods? How long does it take you to finish a plate ? Or can you finish a plate? wow im soooo hungry now!!!

YEs please do send me the info!!

Everyone is different, but i woke up with no pain no nausea. I was sore, but not in pain! I was tired the day of my surgery so i only walked once that night. But the next day, i was up and walking every 15-20 min. I am very thankful i wasnt in pain or throwing up. I would bring an extra pillow for your tummy when you sleep. I still do that now, to support my belly since i sleep mostly on my side. You will be amazed how great you feel, in such little time. Thursday was my surgery, Saturday went home. My first day home, i hung out at the pool under the shade, and then did a little grocery shopping after. Back to work on Tuesday And still feeling good! gOOD LUCK TO YOU

Do you stop eating before you feel full? Im so afraid of over-doing it

Thank you! All that food sounds soooo good! I will definately need to go get a candle warmer!! Thanks for that idea!

LOL! It did sound like a riddle

LOL! It did sound like a riddle

Im sorry its hard for you to get in your liquids hope it gets better SOON!!

Oh wow! Nice job! THANK YOU

Im curious, after you went thru the different phases and was finally able to eat solid foods again, what did you eat? Im 6 days post op and pretty hungry and can't wait till i can eat eggs But i know i can't go crazy when im able to eat regular foods. So what did you eat that kept your calorie intake low? THANK YOU

Thanku!!! I will check on youtube thx so much!

I am newly sleeved and seem to be able to drink fluids with no problem. I'm scared to stretch out my new tummy, but seem to be able to take in more liquids / soup than I thought. Do u know how much liquid it can hold without causing any damage?

We sooo need to start an OC Group!!!!!!!!

YEs i am definately trying! THANK YOU

Thank you! Hope and praying im as successful as you!!!!

What Protein shakes are you using? And does it taste good??

I was told that yes even though its important to get your Protein in, it is more important at this time to be hydrated Im also 5 days post op. Struggling with what is ok to eat,but hanging in there. I think im over the protein shakes . I used to love them but now i think its sooooo sweet!

you will be great! Please keep me informed with you!!!

Thank you!! I hope yours turns out great!!!! Keep me posted too!
