You look Gorgeous!! Great job & amazing motivation!!

First Post Op apt. Since surgery on 3/7, down 18.8 pounds! So ready to be off this liquid diet so I can start having more energy to do more workouts!! Next stage is puréed foods! Any suggestions or recipes? ?

I have been mixing my u jury chicken broth with Swanson's chicken broth. So much better!

I was sleeved yesterday! I felt great earlier today at the hospital with minor gas pains & nausea but once home the nausea began to feel worse. Especially after eating. But popsicles & walking are helping me feel better. Thinking of mixing some unflavored Unjury Protein Powder to some crystal light & making popsicles to help get my Protein in these next few days. Glad to hear so many Fellow March Sleevers are doing so well!

Sleeved!! Doing Great! A little pressure from the gas but other than that feeling good!

Some things that I have learned about this journey. One - I do believe as a requirement instead of one visit to a psychiatrist for the evaluation - you should be followed monthly as a prep to get your thoughts together - I don't see the harm as in you are already waiting anyways. Another - family support works miracles. There is no way I could have done this without my family & my friends. Prayer - another big one. If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it. As for me, I have not experienced any nausea. Gas pains are just that - a pain. I'm tolerating my fluids well, just get full very quickly. Another point I'd like to make - as for a person whose WHOLE life revolved food, since the surgery - I have not had a hunger sensation yet which to me is amazing. I've also had my weaknesses ate in front of me such as pizza, Chinese, and it didn't phase me the least. I feel most pain when coughing or getting up off of the sofa to walk. Walking HELPS soooo much. Best remedy. Good luck to everyone in recovery or pre-op! So happy to have the surgery part over with and behind me & now to get through recovery! Just a couple of questions - when did everybody start feeling better with soreness/pain? When did you start being able to sleep on your side?

He seriously Looked like Chris Evans from Captain America!!!

Of course the male nurse giving me my stress test today has a Perfect Smile & is in great shape! A total cutie! As I sat on that stationary bike with my midriff showing, hooked up to a machine like Frankenstein, with a head rest on & huge tube in my mouth....FML lol

I agree Kanesmom, you just have to fight thru those first few days...

You can do it!! A week isn't bad at all! The first 2-3 days will be the hardest, once you get through them you'll be fine! Just keep your eyes on the prize

I have 7 days to go, this pre op has been very hard for me as well. I did fine the first 4 days. Then I realized I could have fat free chicken broth so I went and purchased that, did week till this weekend. Grr! I slept as long as I could sleep in the am hoping it would help. I also purchased v8 fusion diet. That has helped a lot. My problem with it all is that I have a strange taste in my mouth and strange feeling in my stomach. I think it is the aftertaste. Praying we all can get through this and the next few days goes by quickly!

Welcome and good luck, I'm going in just after you on March 11. I hope it all goes really well for you!

Thank you for your post. I was have a very difficult and miserable time following my doctors orders and I too was having no problems. I am two weeks and I day post surgery today and started eating chicken last saturday and I have been so happy. I eat small amounts and I chew very well and I have had no problems. I am not going to put tuna in the blender and drink it. Not going to happen. I want to get my Protein through food and not stupid Protein Shakes and artificial flavors and sweetners. My goal with the sleeve was to eat and live like a "normal" person. Protein shakes and fanatical eating is no normal life for me. I do not ever want to go back to my awful eating habits that got me in this position in the first place. I loved your post and I hope you don't get beat up for it, there are some people on here that are pretty critical of anyone not following the plan to a T.

I started my transformation a month before surgery. Changed my diet. Started Protein Shakes. Reprogrammed my mind to think of food for nourishment and not pleasure. Started tanning. Got a make-up make over. Colored my hair. Just started revamping. My surgery is TOMORROW ! Yay!

Could we do March 1-7th? Wes be at almost the same point! You guys can give us 7th people a heads up on whats coming later in the week!
