Good luck to you! I'm not sure how I missed this, but Dr. Looser is my doctor too. I like him a lot and feel that I'm in good hands.

Hi,
I'm new here, too. My surgery was June 1st and to be honest, it was a bit of struggle to lose the required 10 pounds and it has been a struggle to stay satiated since. My program requires a post-op liquid diet for 2-3 weeks. I feel rather ashamed to say this, but I'm hungry! I guess more than anything, I'm afraid that even with this surgery, I'm still going to be hungry. I'm hoping, hoping, hoping that once I go on more solid foods I won't be so obsessed with feeling hungry for food. I'm sure this didn't help you, but your post made me want to write. Good luck to you.

June 1st. It's been a rocky road since and I'm hoping and praying it gets better.

I was sleeved on June 1st and last Friday was put on, what my program calls it, Stage 4 foods last week. Stage 4 is moist, ground meat, lite cheeses, etc. Well, that didn't agree with my tummy. I found myself in the ER Monday night and had a two day sleepover at the hospital along with an exploratory surgery to see what was causing the crushing pain in my stomach. Good news is that my stomach was only inflamed and nothing was leaking. Bad news is that I now have four more weeks of a liquid diet. My surgeon said he was seeing some sleevers who had to be on a liquid diet a lot longer than the other type surgeries. So, take it easy everyone who is looking forward to their next phase of diet. I still dream of the day when I can enjoy a small slice of pizza and a salad <------ my all time favorite meal. I'm a pretty cheap date.
