I received my sleeve on April 10th and like many of you, I'm so ready to chew something! I don't recall it being like this with my band either. I need some more full liquids/creamy Soup ideas. My full liquids are for 3 weeks and 2 weeks if pureed. Lord give me the strength!! But I'm already in love with my sleeve. Havent had a "stuck" feeling! #priceless

To the rest of the newborns out there, it really does get easier pretty quick. The most important thing you need to do is adjust your attitude because Attitude is Everything! You can't go back from here you can only move forward. You seriously need to stop asking "what did I do to myself?!" And start saying, "I am strong and I can do this! I am leaving that miserable life behind me! That's why I did this!!" It isn't that some of us are stronger willed, it's easier for us because we have made THE CHOICE to look at things from a positive perspective. You made a courageous choice to take control and get your life back. Don't let something as insignificant as a little hunger stand in your way! We have a saying at our support group, "NOTHING tastes as good as THIN FEELS!!" Hang in there! YOU are worth it!!!! Best to you!

I was sleeved april 3rd I'm 4 week post op.. I promise it gets better..I am currently on puree foods and I graduated to solids in a week. What really helped me get through the begining was keeping busy and have a variety of liquids and broths and icepops. What you guys are feeling is completly normal. I was a wreck in the begining. The reward of the weigtloss is what has kept me motivated and on track. Also remembering why you did this in the first place is a huge factor. Hang in there it will get easier.

My doctor stressed the importance of not consuming sugar and going very low carbohydrate. I was asked to do two weeks of Protein Shakes and one lean and green meal. I was asked not to consume grains,fruits, starchy vegetables,or anything containing sugar for the two weeks leading up to surgery. I got the impression that being "liquid" was not the important part but rather they wanted me high Protein and low carb
