Feeling great

I eat twice a day lunch and dinner and eat whatever I want, no restrictions. Eating is different after surgery, you don't have the cravings and if u do you can only eat very little...best thing ever

Sleeved 10/21

Feeling amazing and still plenty to go

That's funny I felt the same thing during my first week. I drank 64oz of Water like it was nothing and wondered if the doctor forgot to sleeve me. Wait another 2 weeks until you can finally eat, you'll see

Started at 384 and had surgery on 10/21 and a short 7 weeks later I'm 329...it's been so easy I wish I could have done this years ago

Can I be added to the October FB group? mmittiga113@gmail.com

Thanks

I experienced the same thing I was able to drink as much liquid as I wanted to...wait until you eat solid food you will see a whole new world

Great job everyone!

For all October surgeries, what are your stats?

Had surgery 10/21/13

HW: 384

SW: 380

CW: 338

we share the same bday. What was your surgery date again?

10/21 surgery date I think you were the same

I have to say right before my surgery I was feeling like I was making the biggest mistake as I am 26, actually 27 today, and still have my whole life ahead of me. I'm now 2 weeks out and I haven't been hungry, haven't been miserable, I can still drink liquids without an issue, and I realize that in a few short weeks I can eat anything I want , just in less amounts. What's better than that?

I was sleeved same day as you. While I have not tried anything like ice cream' date=' if I did it would be something like SF vanilla. Full sugar/fat ice cream with nuts in it is begging for trouble. But if you can from here on out, pick another option. I know you didn't go to this extent to keep on the same path and not lose the weight. I am sure there will come a time when you, I , everyone will test their sleeve in one way or another. But not this soon. Please be careful and let yourself heal. Revisit your NUT or doctors post op lists of foods to eat. While most would still be on full liquids, my doctor did tell me I could start on purees. Honestly, I haven't yet. I am not ready. I can handle cream Soup (no chunks) and yogurt. Even had some cream of wheat. Just take it slow and steady...And good luck!!![/quote']

It's interesting because I was feeling so good thus far I almost felt invincible where nothing would bother me...this was a nice reality check. By the way, cream of wheat is a great idea I'm going to try that for dinner.

Well this was definitely an eye opener! No more messing around...just praying I didn't do damage

No I just figured when the ice cream melts in your mouth it's like a liquid, but oh man was I wrong.

Yeah sleeved 10/21...I'm on full liquids but thought id try ice cream...guess I won't ever do that again

Last night I had a cup of Snickers ice cream around 9pm. I woke up at 12am and started spitting up the most fowl tasting battery acid, I have never experienced this in my life. I was actually on the verge of calling 911 I thought my insides were going to come up. Has anyone experienced this?

In 6 days lost 20 lbs

I started at 384lbs and did not have a weight loss requirement. Surgery weight was 380 and everything went great, so I'm sure he can find a surgeon that doesn't require weight loss

I had my sleeve Monday also and I can drink a whole 16oz water bottle in 10 minutes. I have no issues with drinking.

I was sleeved on Monday 10/21. Today is day 3 post surgery. Today I drank a clear Isopure 20oz bottle, had a cup of broth, 2 ice pops and 1/2 cup of Jello and it's only 3pm! I feel like I could have more. I have no problems getting this amount down which is pretty scary. Anyone else find that's it's easy to get liquids in so easily in week 1?

I have the same gas pain as everyone, 6 incisions and they each are extremely sore and painful. I've been taking pain killers which seem to help a little bit, and drinking liquids is much harder than I thought. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be...

How's everyone feeling today?

This gas pain is brutal, and no drinking Water the entire day sucks too!

Slept pretty well surprisingly

Off to the hospital I go

Good luck all
