I am 3 weeks post op and was just allowed today to start soft foods. I am so excited to finally have some chicken salad with puréed carrots. I never thought I would say that. I am done 22.5 lbs and am super happy. Good luck.

It's what my dr says. 3 Protein Shakes and lots of fluids. I asked about broths and they said absolutely not. I see from this forum that each dr has different rules. I'm really doing ok for the most part. I have my struggles. It's not easy at all as you all know but the end result will be so worth it. My hardest part is since I have been sleeved I have had parties every weekend. Sitting at a table while everyone else eats is very difficult. And this weekend is Greek Easter the biggest holiday and feast for us Greeks and I can't eat nothing. But I will think positive and push through (I hope). Thanks for the ice pop recommendation will go out and buy them.

Hey everyone. I was sleeved 4/22. Still on liquids ( no broth or soup allowed) till May 13th. I too was having trouble and most of all missed chewing. Nut suggested sugar free Jello and Ice Pops and it really did do the trick for now. Down 15lbs and really excited to See the weight come off. Good Luck to you all. Def talk to your nut mabe they can give you other ideas too.

Had my sleeve done on Monday. Feeling great. Had a setback the day after surgery had an allergic reaction to meds was very swollen and had joint pain. 24 hrs on Benadryl and I was good as new. Can't wait to start protein shakes tomorrow. Good luck to everyone post op.

Good luck. Today is my day too. Heading to hospital now.

I too am having surgery April 22.. Very nervous but excited too. Good luck to everyone. I would like to be added to the Facebook page as well. Email address is adeftereos@hvc.rr.com
