Congrats! The portion of stomach they removed doesn't weight to much. The 9 lbs u lost is mostly all the IV fluids they pumped you full of. Lol. Wish you the best. ! •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203

No it shouldn't harm you BUT make sure you DO NOT cheat anymore because there's a reason your doctor has you going through phases. The stomach is healing which is why u have to ease into foods. The more u eat that isn't liquids the more your stomach will churn and cause pressure which can cause a leak. And that is something you don't want. You'll be in the hospital for a few months. I'm a month out n on soft foods. I completely understand because just a few weeks ago I felt tha same way! Just hang in there! You'll be on soft foods before you know it. just make sure to get all your Protein n fluids in. good luck. ! •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203

Has anyone else been sleeved by Dr. Cirangle ? If so pleeease reply... I have a few questions on what you've been eating because they're food guidelines don't suggest much. Please help.

I had it at good Samaritan In San Jose too! yes I really like dr. Cirangle and Gabriella is super informative. Thank u for the advice n suggestions ! This forum makes it do much easier to go through all this because your not the only one. •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203

U might be drinking/ eating too fast . This happens to me also when I take too big of a sip or eat a bite with our waiting for a few minutes before the next. If your eating/drinking slow I would suggest asking your nutrionist /doctor. •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203

Pre op was a breeze it's the post op diet that sucks ! do the best you can! It's all worth it in the end. This I am coming to find out. Good luck on your surgery!

What kind of soft foods did u eat ? They told me my soft phase is restricted n limited to cottage cheese tofu eggs Greek yogurt n my protein supplements... I've been eating those n I'm so bored of it except eggs. There's got to be more I can eat besides just those. :/

Any suggestions on what I can eat??

Nah I haven't talked to him cause he said its pretty normal it's not too restricting n it gets better every day next week I'll be able to strength train my surgeon says. n thank u! I'll check out the link

It's not much pain n it's only at night when I lay down but last night was good. I was sleeved 8/3/12

You look amazing congratulations miss!

Thank you so much for posting this. I got sleeved 8/3 and going through exactly the same thing. I was getting super frustrated n was worried I was doing something wrong. But now I feel a lil less stressed.

Thanks for responding! is string cheese ok? The light kind. Ive been having One during work hours n Cottage cheese.,I'm getting frustrated cuz my weight keeps going up n down I read the labels n make sure there's high protein n low carbs n fat etc. what am I doing wrong ? :/ I haven't started excersizing besides walking a lil n work. (Because my stomach pain just went away about a day ago...just can't do anything crazy or else it will start to hurt). Could that be why? Cuz I haven't really excersized yet? Ugh :/

Any suggestions on what I can eat??

I am a lil over two weeks post op. I am still on my liquid diet but I am just getting sick and tired of the things I have to drink ( the things my doc office gave me with protein in it... Soups drinks etc) I get nauseous n can't finish it. They all taste good at first but after a few times of eating it. I just think they taste disgusting!! I'm so tired of liquids!!!! I'm so frustrated. Any advice on GOOD tasting liquids with protein ? Or any other advice.

Just curious... I didn't really know where to put this thread. But what happens to the staples after your all healed?

Thanks for the replies!

Thank u!

Hello all, My name is Gina and I am 25 years old. I am a newbie on this site and so far have found it absolutely amazing. Everyone is so knowlegdable and so sweet. I am now 3 days post- op. My surgery was at 11am on August 3rd 2012. My highest weight was 241. Pre-op before liquid diet 236. One day into liquid diet 230 second day into liquid diet 227. Day of surgery 8/3 I was 224. During my hospital stay I went back up to 227. Today I am 224. Any advice for the newbie in town? Reguarding anything and everything! I need as much advice as possible. From diets to excercise esp. Because I am worried about excess skin? Anything you have to offer I will be grateful of. Thanks ❤

Thanks so much!! and congratulations on your success so far!! So exciting.

I am also in your shoes!! I went #2 the day before my surgery August 3rd and still haven't gone! Just gas! Haha I was starting to worry too until I saw this thread! Thanks so much for asking
