I was sleeved on june 4th so it has been 1 week today and have just been drinking 3 Protein drinks a day.

I just ate 1 popsicle and small container of Jello. Is that normal or am i able to eat too much 7 days post op

everyone is told so many different things. I was sleeved on the 3rd. I am allowed to eat:

flavored water (less then 10 calories)

Tea and can add sugar sub.

SF Popsicles, fudgesicles ( I have been living off of fudgesicles (40 calories)

SF jello

broth

crystal light

I can have any of that till day 10

I see so many of us are allow to eat many different things as the same stage post-op. I am 8 days post-op and would like to know what ya'll are/were allow to eat this week? I am only allowed clear fluids till day 10. Then I can try Diet V8, milk, yogurt, pudding, cream Soups, and apple sauce.

they are all gross! I am the same as you. It is actually the one like that almost made me not have surgery because I hate it that bad. I will see I think you would do so much better with the premixed ones. I have found one that I can drink alittle at a time. It is a premixed choc. and I put it in the freezer to get it very cold with ice sickles in it. I get a cup and pour alittle at a time so the rest can stay in the freezer and stay cold. The name is EAS myoplex original. I have the choc. and it is VERY creamy and choc taste. 17ozs and 42g Protein. It is going to be hard since you don't have the money to get something else to try.

I did the same thing about wanting food around the day 6 mark. I am at day 7 and feeling much better. Just wait till you go to the doctor and weigh in on the scale and you will see why we are doing this and you will feel better. Just take your time. This is not just another surgery! This is the rest of your life! and it goes by fast enough, so don't rush! Sit back and enjoy your new healthy life and body!

Went to my one week appointment this morning and was shocked when it showed I weighed 216! One week ago I weighed 235! I am so happy. I was wondering though, what did others lose at their one week post-op?

feeling a bit depressed. I feel so good as if nothing has happened and keep thinking to myself: Oh, my hubby and I could go eat this or that and I have to remind myself that I can't!

Never owned a scale and it will most likely stay that way. I don't really care what it says. I depend on clothes!

I have a bottle that has ozs on it. I feel it up and drink it through out the day. It only goes up to 25 ozs so I have to refill it . I also keep of with what I have eaten that day and take into account about how much fluids that would be to.

I too had surgery Monday. I was very sore, but doing good other wise. I have been walking since the night of my surgery. I have been taking Gas X chewables. If the pills and strips don't work. The chewables have been doing well for me. My doctor sent me home with Loratab liquid and a pain pump that is inserted in my stomach and is good for 5 days. Now I am just waiting on bowel movement. I have been keeping something by me at all times and sipping on it to stay hydrated. Good Luck!

Just wondered everyone get the same size tummy after surgery? Do they decide per person or do they have a tool that is a guide for the doctors to use on anyone?

I am on day one of post-op also. I feel alittle rough, but not to bad. Hope you start to feel better.

leaving for the hospital tomorrow. Gotta be there for 2:30pm! Who's with me?

I too am having surgery on June 3rd. and don't have to do a preop diet. Only Clear Liquids the day before. Just hope and pray for the best! Good Luck!

June 3rd from Louisiana! Very nervous, but hoping and praying for the best! Can't wait to see everyone elses progress as we grow smaller together

I am 26 years old with three kids (two boys 5 yo & 2 yo, one girl 1yo) and a husband of two years. I am from Louisiana and my surgery date is June 3rd. I need to have this done to get healthy for my family. I have a fatty liver which may not seem like much, but my mom found out she has cirrhosis from her having a fatty liver for so long! I am a nervous wreck thinking about surgery. Yes I have had other surgeries before, but this is different. I wish us all a long healthy life!
