Good morning girls!! How's everyone doing today? It's our one week anniversary!!! wooo hoo! Today I'm going to do my hair make up and go have some win ton broth for lunch with my husband!

Good morning and Happy 1 week anniversary to you also!!! I am doing much better, it turns out that I developed acid reflux from the procedure and taking Previcid to help with all that acid bubbling up and I also was told instead of getting up at 4am to eat something to calm my tummy to take some chewable Tums and it worked!!!! I am 12lbs down in a week and things look much better! Have a great day! Nice to hear your doing well!

I'm in day six out and honestly feeling amazing!! I actually feel like I want to eat something other then liquids, but I'm following my plan. Stepped on the scale today and so far from my starting weight of 208.4 I weighed 195.3!!!! Amazing to be under 200! I have my ten day follow up Friday and I'm hoping I can start puréed foods soon. I'm able to get about 47oz of Fluid down plus my shakes today so far! Best of luck to everyone!! I feel so good I hope to get a mani pedi Friday!! !!
No regrets!! 100% in love with my sleeve!!

Okay so I'm six days post op and I'm feeling great couldn't have been more blessed with this experience. I'm really over having the same thing. Some Greek yogurt, broth, cream Soup. Does anyone have any ideas for me that work for you. Much appreciated!!

pudding, Jello, popsicles, cottage cheese, I had the broth of chicken and dumplings (YUMMY)...hope those are some ideas:)

Thanks guys!

I feel the same way!! It's amazing. Just a little gas here and there, but I think this is how you should feel! Just take it as a blessing and be thankful. I would not try to find the negative in things, look ahead to the positives. Keep to the diet the doctor ordered and you'll be on your way soon enough. I'm 6 days post op and I keep looking forward to the great life ahead of me!

Ugh I'm day three of my liquid diet. The first two days I was totally fine but this morning I want to eat!!!

On day 9 of the pre-op diet. It's been tough, but I'm pushing through. Surgery date Is Monday October 13th.

Yeah the smoothies have been easier to get down. Things are looking a little brighter. Small sips and belching afterwards. Those little air bubbles hurt. It takes me a hour and a half to eat a small container of applesauce. I went and bought a faberware cup blending set for $20 bucks and it's really does a good job a the purée, It just takes time to get the smoothie down. It's an adjustment I am slowly learning. Glad to see your doing ok

If you don't count the soup I've been eating, I'm only getting 35 oz now too. Tomorrow I'm going to measure out 5 oz at a time and try to drink that every hour I'm awake, except the 3 times I'm supposed to be eating. Hopefully that'll work

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been days since I posted, I have been miserable, it hurts to drink, I can't hardly eat anything, lots of gas bubbles with every drink or bite. This morning my family made me a berry smoothie, it's the first thing I could get down without much pain. I have been waking up every two hours at night, waking up early and taking a afternoon nap. I have been feeling kinda weak, but I am sure it's from the lack of food I hope y'all are doing better then I have been doing. I guess the only good point in this for me so far is that I have lost a total of 16 pounds, 10 before surgery and six since. Looking for easier days.

It's very normal! I'm 5 days post op and I was very scared. My doc had then give me some Meds before I was taken into the or to calm me and I do not recall anything after that. It took about a second and my husband said I was sleeping. It was for the best when I woke up I was in ICU and my nurse, doc, and husband were there. Said everything went perfect! Then I woke up next when they had me start to walk about four hours later. I just remember the Cotten swabs and chap stick were my BFF the first 24 hours. You are going to do amazing!! Just say a prayer and enjoy the new healthy you. Everyday has a new challenge, but I am starting to feel better. Good luck!!

I've had a few. Just started that today. Anyone else having issues trying to drink? I'm suppose to be getting 64oz a day I've got up to about 28 so far.

That is good news. Take care of yourself.

Just got released... I wish I could burp to... I'm not really hungry in my mind I could eat though.. Just ready to drop

I'm feeling so much better today! Came home yesterday and slept for a long time. Was up on and off all night. No real pain just still really exhausted. Swallowing is tough but I figure that will get better each day! Can't believe I'm not even hungry! Love it!!

Well I hope everyone is doing wonderful!! I'm sleeved day two right now. I'm not going home until Friday, and right now I'm trying to drink about 150ml a hour. Not to bad. Had some bad dry heaves last night, but I think it was from being put under. My doctors are amazing! My husband has been great been here the whole time! Good luck to the rest of you this week. Oh and bring Chapstick!!
