Thanks Katie, that's what I'm doing, listening to my body and doing what it wants, that way I heal right. It's a new journey and I'm learning as I go to take things slow, I'm in no race, the finish line will be there when I get there just for me.

Thanks for responding. It sounds like that could be it. I'm 2 weeks out and like you I hope this don't last long because I can't continue to take a nap after every meal. That would look funny to those who are not privy to what's going on. hahaha.

It's crazy, but after I eat, I get really sleepy and need a nap. I-) My stomach get this funny weird feeling while I eat, but I know it's my new stomach getting used to what I'm putting in it. I also get hot as if the furnace was turned on. I know this sounds so crazy, but what gives? Has anyone else experienced this?

How far out are you? I've noticed that if I feel a little hungry but I know I've eaten, then i take a gas x or tums and that seems to be the problem. I'm not really hungry just gassy or a little acid reflux. I'm only a week out though, so this may not be your problem.

CBT, I was fortunate enough not to have nausea at all. Didn't throw up once, so I'm very happy about that. I'm a week out from surgery. Everybody is different, so maybe you won't have nausea. happy recovery to all.

Height: 5'2 Starting weight: 258 Surgery weight: 252 Current weight: 240 Short Goal: lose 30#'s Long Goal: get down to 145

I liked that, but couldn't laugh to hard, still healing.

Wow, you're moving pretty fast. I'm only 6 days out, but the research and being on here all the time, this is the first time I'm seeing someone eat that kind of food so soon. When I get to the puree phase it's supposed to be at least 3 weeks. I'll be scared to mess something up by moving faster than that. But there is a lot of info out there on what sleevers can eat at each phase, so hopefully you find a little more variety.

I had surgery Tue. and I got home Thur. and everything is going good. I have gas pains so just dealing with that. Trying to make sure I get my liquids in. hope everybody else is doing good.

Hey July Sleevers, I'm 3 days post-op and doing pretty good. A little gassy but I'll get pass that. Hope everyone is doing good.

lizzybeth, I am home and doing good. I also posted under "Made it Thru". I'm going to read about your journey.

Had my surgery on the 10th and I'm doing good. Everything went well. No issues.

I had my surgery July 10th. Learned that the Dr. had a hard time getting the tube down my throat. But other than that everything went well. No nausea or throwing up. The first day was spent in bed. I am a wimp when it comes to pain so I used the pump every 15 min. I had more discomfort that pain though. I did have a moment or 2 where I thought "What the heck have I done" but it passed and I was ready to start the healing process. The second day I started my liquid diet and was able to walk. No issues there. I was released Thurs. at 10am. So 2 days post-op and I'm doing fine other than a little gas. I just have to make sure I get enough fluids in because I do not want to get dehydrated. Well I'm tired and will rest now so I will keep posting how my journey is going.

thank you Trcyprkr

Ok, I have to be at the hospital at 6am and it is now 2am and I can't sleep. My nerves are getting the better of me. Well they are going to put me out anyway so I guess I'll be ok. This day is finally here and I'm ready to start my new journey to a new me. I'm going to at least try to close my eyes now and will check back in as soon as I feel up to it. Happy journey to all u sleevers to come.

victoriatxgirl I went to a support meeting and we learned a little about how to relax. Try to take a slow deep breath in and release it slowly and do this a couple of times and them appreciate that you have gotten to this point. A point to change what you can.

victoriatxgirl I will be sleeved tomorrow too. I have to be at the hospital at 6 am and I feel the same as you do. Hope you have a good surgery and speedy recovery.

Thanks StormWarning. Nervous and excited but it will be over before I know it.

5 days

lizzybeth, sleeve twin, keep me posted and I'll do the same. Hope for a speedy recovery. See you on the other side of this journey or as they say on the loser's bench.

oh, then you probably could use a 1% milk. Well I did pretty good and so far lost 8 #'s and will be sleeved tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 6am. When is your date?

tonibugg, we were cautioned against those. Check to see if it has collagen in it. If it does it's not good for you, our body can't digest that stuff. At least that's what we were told by our surgical group and nut.

pre-op for me was clear liquids so no milk products at all. Only clear liquids. I was only able to use water and it wasn't bad at all.

I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 6 am. I'm getting nervous but can't wait until it's over and done with. Congrats on those who have had their surgery and happy healing.

I just wanted to ask, are you eating protein or are you trying to avoid it? That may be apart of your problem because we need protein to keep our hunger at bay but also for muscle retention. Maybe if you track what you're eating you will see where you can make some improvements.
