Tofu was on my list of soft foods.

Wow!! You look great. I can't wait for 4 months out!

Wow. I didn't see anything posted here that could have caused that response from you, Cupcake. I'm only 5 days post-op and I'm sure trying to learn the dos and dont's is frustrating. I see nothing but support here. I hate that you had to become so trollish so soon.

I think my husband is just as excited about my surgery as I am. We've been married 20 years and are very strong. I hope your husbands get on board and give you the support you deserve!

I wonder if it's because you can't enjoy the things that others can enjoy right now, so it's easier to just withdraw from anything social. I'm not sure that I've felt that, yet. I'm only on day 10, but I can see myself wanting to skip things until I get a handle on this sleeve.

You look great! I know you have to feel good about what you've achieved!!

I don't exactly know what full feels like either. And I do the exact same thing. I really just stop when I don't want to drink anymore broth. I usually try and make 12 oz of broth but usually just eat 8. Except this morning. I did get 12 down. It took a while, but I did it.
All I can say is I hope I'm doing it right. Lol

Another May 14th sleever here, too! I'm feeling great! I think all my surgery gas is gone, but some of the air I swallow during the day can get me for sure. I've walked at the park every day since I got home. I walked one mile today and haven't had a single bit of pain. I don't think I'm over doing it because I'm not hurting and my dr said walk walk walk! So I am!! I haven't felt hungry one time, but I haven't felt really full, either. That sometimes scares me, because I'm afraid that maybe my stomach, will be able to handle more foods after I'm healed, and I won't lose. Lol. The PA said I'm over-thinking things. I hope she's right.
I wish all of us luck as we become, first and foremost, healthy. But with a little side of Hot Mamma!!!

Michelle, I noticed your info, also. We really are sleeve sisters. My starting weight was 270 and I'm 5'8". Pretty close all the way around. I didn't have a single problem in the hospital. I was walking around 1-1/2 hrs after surgery. That gas I had floating around in my body didn't feel too great, but I've worked almost all of that out.
Good luck to you!!

Hi Everybody!
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jodi and I was sleeved on 5/14/12 (in Houston). I'm feeling pretty good. I found this forum at 3am this morning, as I was hunting a way to ease my (what felt like) indigestion. I'm sure I have to work some small kinks out, but I'm actually feeling really great!!
I made the mistake of getting on the scale when I got home yesterday. I was 10 lbs heavier, but I knew instantly not to worry, that it was just bloating from surgery and fluids.
I'm so excited about becoming a whole new person. I have SO much support from my husband and kids. I'm a lucky lady to have this opportunity!
Anyway, I hope to get to know you guys. I'm going to go browse around the forum.
