I too was sleeved on 8/21, and I can eat and drink quickly as well. I can eat 8 oz. of broth in about 15 minutes without any problems. I moved to full liquids today and had 1/2 cup of blended cream soup in about 10 minutes...no issues. I did ask my surgeon, as I can drink as I did before surgery, and he said if it wasn't hurting me then it was fine. I'd be curious to hear what your doc says!

I was sleeved on 8/21. My post op appt. was today, so I thought I got to go to full liquid/puree, but I was told I have to stay on liquids for a bit longer. I cried really hard when I left the office! lol I'm so sick of protein drinks and would KILL for some food! I too am a SF popsicle maniac! They are the only thing keeping me going.

I've seen in a few posts about a website that has good bariatric recipes/menus, but I can't seem to find it now. Can someone tell me what it was? I want to say it had something about "egg" in it? Thanks! I think I get to go to purees tomorrow and am so excited!!

Thanks, everyone! I am on something for acid. I see my doctor tomorrow to get this horrible drain tube out, and hopefully he will have some other options for me.

Hi all! My name is Sarah and this is my first post. I've been reading forums for months, and need to thank you all for support you didn't even know you were giving! Reading about all of your experiences helped me decide to get the sleeve. I'm one week out as of today and am down 17 lbs. since starting my pre-diet. I have a couple questions I was hoping you all could help on. My doctor has me on chewable Celebrate Vitamins. The Calcium(which I have to take 3 times a day) literally make me nearly vomit. I have a horrible time keeping them down. Has anyone else experienced this, or possibly know a solution? Also, I'm starving! I know they say you shouldn't be, but my stomach growls...I believe I am truly hungry! Anyone else have this happen? I'm still on liquids as a FYI. I'm excited about this blessed opportunity, but am fearful I am going to be hungry through the whole thing!! Anxiety has set in.
