Will it always be like that? Is it temporary or forever?

How long have you been sleeved?

My doctor said since our sleeve is a malabsorption surgery we eat and drink at the same time it basically rinses the food down to our new stomach as well as we are suppose to chew very well so we can absorb the nutrients. Trying to put it in the best way that I knew. Hope it helps

So I'm curious to know since the puréed stage is coming on the 4th of July, when we eat food like tuna, chili or scrambled eggs, does it hurt when the food goes down?? Anyone who has been through this please help!

I wonder if it would hurt if we eat this food?

I understand completely that's why no one knows except my parents, siblings and inlaws! They are not to tell anyone! I was always thin and for the past 5 years I put on 100lbs from 130 all my life till I was 24 after the birth of my 2nd child I just blew up. Now everyday if my life I have family plus random ppl tell me how beautiful I was and my jlo body ( cuz I'm Puerto Rican) lol is ruined! I've never imagine how cruel ppl can be till you put on weight! I could never go up to someone and blatantly be disrespectful or ignorant about personal issues, however u will meet them. I don't want anyone coming up to me telling me that I took the short cut or asking questions it's none of their business's!!! So to all of us we should proud of our selfs and our journey!!!

U guys eat regular good on the puréed stage????

I just bought mine and I want to use it for next week when I start the puréed stage, what can I use to put in there any suggestions guys?

Thx guys

What do u put on Pinterest to find these recipes?

Oh my god I thought I was the only one that felt this way! I had my surgery last Thursday June 20, and I'm so emotionally and mentally drained and I can't stop this feeling of regret and I'm so scared if the unknown. This is has to be the most hardest thing that I've ever been through!!! At least I don't feel alone (

I have oatmeal, yams, mash potatoes, eggs, fruits, tuna, yogurt, applesauce, puddings, and refried beans of course everything will be puréed.

That's super scarey I'm going to have to drink my protein more! Yikes good luck

Thx guys I'm trying to come up with a meal plan before, I'm nervous and excited lets see how this goes.

So as my puréed stage is coming up in a couple of days which I'm psyched about what food can we eat? Any suggestions ppl....

Dying for next week I've been in liquids over 2 weeks and next week on the 4th of July I can eat puréed food I'm already making a grocery list and schedule

Luckily I didn't have any drain!

I know we all have to hang in there!

I move all day, go for long walks with my husband and kids, it's finally day 8 and the neck pain is there but not that bad now. Good luck to all of us

Just made 8 days and I'm still sore but so sick of this liquid diet I'm dying to get into the puréed stage I'm so over broth and crystal light! Blah... But today I have up say I'm mentally hungry I can't seem to stop thinking of food I never knew I had an emotional attachment to food it's tough!

So it's Day6 and I still have the most horrible pain in my neck and shoulder. Yesterday I went to see my Dr and I lost 11 lbs in a week and 2 lbs from before surgery so 13lbs in a week and a half. I'm super happy and motivated even more but this pain will not go away and I'm so over it. But my question is does anyone have mental hunger? I can't seem to stop thinking about food, is it cause I haven't eaten in over a week or I'm really emotionally attached to food?? This is driving me nuts....

Thx guys! yea I walked around the block last night but I too have loose stool and bad gas pains. I'm not physically hungry but more mentally but I'm so tired and bored. Can't care for my son or daughter, can't wash laundry or dust I'm a huge OCD freak so this is what I think gods testing me on. But today I woke up with more of the pain in my neck and chest still from the c2o and gas bubbles. I see my surgeon on Tuesday and hopefully I lost some weight lol.

I had surgery Thursday June 20th,2013, and it's day 2 and I feel like a train ran me over! I have major gas and gas bubbles along with loose stool. I basically feel like I have no control over any bowel movement or my body and this sucks! I can hardly breathe, laugh, cough or cry! The hardest thing is not being able to care for my children and hubby! I'm like a little baby and I can't wait till I can feel normal again!
