These are very interesting posts, I had the sleeve June 27 and have lost 45lbs, but I cannot imagine even eating that amount of food, I can only think about it. So I am wondering if it is psychological. I just can't imagine eating more than 6 to 8 oz at a time, So I guess you have to consult with your surgeon. I am amazed..

I have blue cross/blue shield under federal government program. My bill was around 60,000, which they reduced to about 20,000, and my part was $250.00 it is all a racket! They keepbilling my insrance co these outrageous bill and they always get reduced. I had my surgery at Doctors Hospital @ White Rock.

Iam just now getting where i can drink some plain water 6 wk post op. The best thing for me to drink is hot tea..drink plent of hot tea..a life saver and add splenda!

I understand I will get a breakfast sandwich and it takes me all day to eat it.

Congtaulations!

I have also tried soft scrambled eggs. I used to love eggs. I just cannot seem to tolerate them and they don't digest well. So maybe I will try in another month. it is weird, because i thought this would be one of the easies things to eat(not!).

I WILL TRY THAT!

i seem to be able to tolerate warm liquids very well also. Especially hot tea.

How do you get those weight trackers on your profile?

You guys are brave. I had my surgery. On June 27th...going back to work on July 18th.

I walk 3 times a day. And i am going to concentrate on getting these liquids down.

I talk to the nurs e and she said I have a double staple line.the left side of my stomach is where they used the big instruments. That is why I am sore and can only get liquids down. It will just take longer to heal.

Going back to work so soon. I walk 3 times a day but I am not up to driving. I will call the doc on tues to see if its okay that I can only get a few oz at a time down. I know that I have needed no insulin shots since my surgery. So I believe this diabetes will be a thing of the past. I will get to where you are soon hopefully.

I am 7 days post op. I am trying to switch to full liquids with clear. I can't tolerate clear water I have to add crystal light. I have found that I can tolerate dryers fruit bars popsicles no sugar added.. I am trying to be careful. I have started on boost drinks but it takes me a whole day to drink 8oz. I dont know how these people are eating meat after the first week and everything. I am taking things slow and I do try something new everyday..happy sipping.

Cool beans

I can't imagine eating meat again. Good job on your weight

It. Sounds you will be very well adjusted.

So today I have added some boost. Just a little bit. Still can't tolerate water. But losing about 2lbs a day.

I had that too before my surgery. The meds are expensive even with insurance. 4 pills twice a day. But I passed the breath test. I have had my surgery and on my way.

Thanks that helps.

Day 5. I have the same issue it feels like my stomach is growling a lot. I walk alot just cant get enough fluids in so I feel weak. Hopefully my body will adjust. Chicken broth seems to help.

I take a prescription but D once a month. A B 12 shot once a month given by doc. Right now I'm taking one a day vitacraves adult multivitamin dummies I like them. I can chew them very well

I took off 3 weeks. I want to be very well and moving around before I go back to work.

That is my surgery date. It is too soon for protein drinks. You should still be on clear liquids.
