First solid food this evening and I threw up. Kind of good because I know I can't push AT ALL past a slight fullness. Tomorrow will be better. Very ready to kiss the Protein drinks goodbye! Ok, full disclosure, I ate 12 hours early. I have clearance for tomorrow morning, not tonight. So maybe I deserve what happened. It's ok. The pain was really bad so I was grateful to throw up.
In general feeling really well. Have been back at work all this week, but glad that it's a short one.
This is quite a project!!
Wishing us all super success!!

Surgery was 6/5
Doing great, no problems with Protein, Water or pureed, which I am on now. In fact, for lunch I mashed up 3 oz of avocado but got full after just half of that. My pureed list is very short due to being so pickey - so it's either yogurt, cottage cheese, avocado, refried Beans, Soups or Protein shakes. I have one more week on pureed and then move on to soft foods

Hi there! I was sleeved on June 23rd. I'm the biggest of y'all!
My heaviest weight was 446 pounds when I met the surgeon in February 2014. He put me on a high protein/low carb pre-op diet and I was down to 355 on the date of my surgery. I'm one week out today and 346.
I am just coming off my 7 day clear liquid diet and moving on to pureed foods.
We can do it!

Sleeved on June 18th. Currently on full liquids. I also get the stomach quivering going on especially when I drink the Soups. I hope this will subside after my new stomach heals

Hello all! I'm officially sleeved! I had my surgery at 11am and I was in recovery room by 12:20. Doc said everything went so smoothly! I'm not in too much pain more like discomfort. I have 5 small incisions, my mouth is super dry! I requested ice chips but I have to wait a few more hours for them. I have my leak test in the morning and if all is good and I'm able to get some Water down I will be released at 6pm tomorrow!

scshell reacted to SLF1027 in 8 Months Out and 122 Down!
I had my sleeve done in September 2013. It's been 8 months since surgery and I have lost 122 pounds. I came from 350, BMI of 52 to 228, BMI 33. I walked into surgery wearing size 28 pants and a 30/32 top and today i noticed my size 18's were a little saggy in butt! I walked 4.5 miles today before I got tired and that in and of itself is a miracle! I'm so glad I made the decision to have this procedure, it has helped me so much. Though I am doing well, I struggle EVERY DAY to make good food choices. I'm (head) hungry all the time for all the wrong foods and it's a constant battle. Some days I lose, but most days I do well.
My original goal was to get to the size I was in junior high school, size 18. But now that I'm here, I've readjusted my goal to a "normal" BMI of 24, which means I have 63 pounds to go.
I thank all of you for your support as I silently stalk all of your posts. They help me stay on track and stay motivated to be better
