So tonight 5 days post op i am going to bed SATISFIED for the first time since surgery!! I finally found something that tastes GREAT pureed and makes me feel as though ive eaten a good meal.. and that is CAMPBELLS CORN AND CHICKEN chowder soup.. omg it was sooooo delicious.. i ate more of that soup than i have of anything else since April 25th.. i through 3 or 4 spoonfuls in a cup.. added a little water to smooth it out.. a pinch of salt and pepper.. threw it in the blender and the microwave and omg it was like HEAVEN to my belly.. and to top it off NOW about an 35 minutes later im enjoying a nice glass of v8 juice which is the ONLY thing i TRULY like right now.. i can only get my liquids in with v8 or Tropical smoothie.. any other liquid im not particularly interested in.. IM SO HAPPY.. i hope this is the start of many more GREAT DAYS with food

Lol this is Definitely not head hunger.. I'm feeling the hunger ache

I'm having hunger pains.. my body FEELS hungry but when I try to eat its like I'm full before even touches my tongue.. this is so weird.. anybody have this problem?

thank you guys.. im 6 days post op bt my doctor releases us on Pureeds so im gonna see about throwing a shrimp into the blender or maybe just having a bite

why have i drank TWO smoothies today and JUST NOW remembering that im not supposed to be using STRAWS!!!omg i could just kick myself right now

I'd give anything for a crab leg and shrimp

omg yall! i did IT again.. twice in the same day!! it was solid this time.. im amazed lol

im 5 days out!! i dont go back to school until August 22nd.. im in college now but throughout elementary and other summers i remember summer being the time id sit around and eat and eat and get larger and larger!! thanks heavens that cycle is over

Hey guys.. Guess what?!?! for the FIRST time we can sit at home and do NOTHING basically FORCING ourselves to eat all we can without GAINING WEIGHT!! omg.. that made me happy when i thought of it lol

I know this may be tmi but 5 days post op and i had my first bowel movement .. I TOTALLY expected that to be an issue because I wasnt even regular PRE op .. but sure enough it came.. NOTHING solid but it came from THAT hole so ill call it a bowel movement lol.. is this normal?? How many days post op was it for you guys?

Can I eat scrambled eggs?

If youve ever had a mexican pizza youve bought refried beans lol.. and this little concoction that i just made up is like HEAVEN in my mouth..they are already smashed!! NO lumps in it

omg!! omg!! dashes for KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im so happy.. I was prepared for the worst but my sleeve has been awesome so far.. Are refried beans considered Puree?

Because i have a taste for some.. with a splinch of salsa and a little shredded cheese on top..sort of like a mexican LIKE dinner.. omg im a mexican freak and it seems like this would be SOOOO Delicious..are they considered PUREED?

well my doctor releases us on pureed buuuuuuuuut i did cheat a tad. Today i ate a pinch of rotisserie chicken at my grandmothers, i had a spoon of her spaghetti.. i only ate like 2 noodles the rest was sauch and pinches of ground beef, and a tiny PINCH of cake.. i was sleeved April 25th and i feel GREAT.. i think that bit of real food did me GOOD!!

I was sleeved Wednesday April 25th. My doctor releases us on the Pureed phase.. The first few days i had no appetite and kind of FORCED myself to eat but now im starting to feel more like ME.. definitely STILL not ravishingly hungry bt i can at least smell food without feeling nauseous. Today was sunday dinner.. I ate a small piece of rotisserie chicken and a spoon of my GRANNY"S spaghetti.. Not much at all but enough to cure my cravings and GOD was it so good!! i thought oh geez its only a matter of time until im hurled over in pain but hours later NOT A PEEP out of my sleeve.. i even ate a small small PINCh the size of my index of sock it to me cake!!! I have been feeling better and better each day. Not puked ONCE!! and im just so greatful that things are going to well for me... i started my entire process pre op diet included at 275..went into surgery at 259 and i am now 248!!

I was sleeved on April 25th . I guess you could say im one of the lucky ones... i experienced NO GAS pains WHATSOEVER not even a slight tinge. I was in Moderate bt bearable pain immediately after surgery. But the drugs took care of that quickly. Morphine does NOTHING for my pain. I was switched to Dilotin not sure if thats how its spelled bt it is a GOD SENT!! i was in the hospital until Friday 04/27 and ive only taken pain meds ONCE since being home. My doctor releases us on Pureed diet. its definitely a challenge getting in liquids. Never thought id see the day that i couldnt eat a whole popsicle in one sitting but it HAPPENED.. My mother baked chicken and green beans then pureed it for me. OMG it was like a bowl of Disgusting looking HEAVEN lol.. Im just grateful that my sleeve has LOVED everything i put in it.. Im so greatful to have this opportunity to take control of my life. And guess what.. i didnt have the BUYERS remorse. im pretty sure a bad day is down the road bt for right now.. IM BLESSED!! hope everyone elses goes well!! I was sleeved by Dr. Virginia Weaver in Memphis,Tn

Are mushies and pureed the same?

How far out can I eat chili from wendys.. im 4 days post op

When will I begin to feel somewhat like myself again.n the pain while sipping and taking meds. or getting up and down.. when will the stomach go down so I can at least have applesauce smoothly

I'm not eating solids.. my doctor releases us on pureed.. i think i may stick with liquid for a while

I can barely eat anything or drink anything. Is.this normal? I'm not throwing up or anything just feel bad when I do certain things

This experience hasnt been NEARLY as bad as I thought. Oh yeah I had NO GAS PAINS!!! a little twinge of pain here and there but so worth it
