I got to go on puree!!!! Although it's been a little rough. NY sleeve is quite sensitive!

Congrats! I'm 2 days into puree and I am having trouble eating anything. Didn't think it would be this difficult. Geesh! LOL

Paint away, Sistah! And Congrats!!!

Yes it is!! I like it better than egg whites. I was sooo psyched for mushies....didn't think it would take me 30 minutes to eat some egg whites lol.. And it filled me up...wow!

I was released to drive immediately. I did not take pain meds once I left the hospital.

I started at 431!

Welcome to the club!! Rest up!

I started soft foods today, too..YAY....I just had eggs and a string cheese...it filled me up..I tried a little meat..but it felt REALLY WEIRD going down...I didn't like it...I think I'll be "Eggin It" for a while until I am a little more healed.

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT! Keep it up...but remember to get your rest!

Lol!! Good one!

Welcome to the club!! Contests!!

I'm scared!! I was sleeved 8/20 and have my follow up with my surgeon tomorrow. I pray i get approved to move to purée!! Geesh I can do another week of liquids, but I swear I don't want to!!

LOL!!

You can do it! Tomorrow is the day you have waited for! I will send you positive vibes...You've got this! Seriously, if you've got this far...tomorrow you cross the second big hurdle!

I'm SOOO glad that you FINALLY GOT ApPROVED!!!! I know you've had a time with this. Congrats! I can't wait to welcome you to the "Sleeve Crew"!!

Alright Hot stuff! YOU BETTER WORK!!!!

I'm with ya! I was sleeved 8/20 and have my follow up appt tomorrow!! I am praying he'll let me start puree at 11-14 days out....I just need to chew something!! I'm not hungry..I just want to CHEW! LOL..I see people who say they chew and spit it out..but for some reason, I feel like I would be cheating. This is not a journey I want to cheat on.

Congrats!!!! Welcome to the club!!!

I couldn't sleep...but it was sooo much easier than I ever imagined!!!! You've got this!! Tomorrow is your day!! Your life changes!! Sleep well because tomorrow is one of the best things that is ever going to happen to you. I will pray for a successful surgery for you and a smooth, swift recovery!

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY !! CONGRATS!! I'm elated for you!!! Now get ready mentally and physically to join us!!

I had the same thing happen!! I had my morning shake before the meeting. I took my Blender Bottle with me and got some skim milk for my lunch...and they had Soup...so I also had the broth off of it and no one noticed that I didn't eat a ton. Good luck...it was just hard to be around all that food....because I wanted to eat the entire spread!

I'm so sorry!! But I am Soo happy that you're under doctors care and in a safe environment!

I can't wait for that day! Hopefully I go to puree stage when I see my Surgeon on Friday!

This is good to know. There is a huge spectrum of experiences with any WLS. It's good to see all sides! I wish you a speedy recovery and the best of health!

Agreed.
