Thursday Fun--Does your sleeve have a nickname?
Mine is called kidney bean. When i am looking at the x ray when i was having the swallow test, i thought it resembled one.

February Sleevers.... Check in!
am sleeved on 5 Feb. Went almost straight from liquids to soft, with only a few days on puree. However, do get me right, I only started soft this week after being on liquids for almost 4.5 weeks. Was struggling with puree at the three weeks' mark after being advised by nut to go on puree. Tried puree but somehow did not work so well and went back to liquid. Was only on puree for maybe, 3 days before my last visit to the NUT. Nevertheless, NUT wanted me to start eating soft foods and hence I am eating banana, salmon and white fish Soup now with much lesser difficulty than puree. Chew,chew, chew, my fellow sleevers. We will get there soon!

I had not pooped for almost 4 days. I took a cup of prune juice today and two hours later, I went to the toilet. Such relief!

Sleeve surgery and PCOS
Hi Ladies, PCOS was the main reason why I decided to opt for this surgery. I got to say it is still early days BUT since my surgery on 5 Feb, I have two periods, one - six days post op and one three weeks later. Hence, there is hope for all of us!

Thanks Linda for the note. I did not realize there is large curd ones. Yes mine was those which resembled pastes with small individual curds.

any recommendations for pureed food in the initial period?
Hi Zoumommy, I tried the cottage cheese today. I did not have to blend it (and this is coming from a person who cannot tolerate banana soy milk on Tuesday). It just takes a bit of chewing and I found that I did not have any pain swallowing it.

Ready for the hospital

Cheating the consultation scale...
Drinking water just before does add to your weight. Maybe,drink one litre just before the weigh-in? Wish you all the best?

What is realistic weight loss with the sleeve?
My doctor says that 30% of body weight is easily lost with surgery realistically. The remainder had to be lost through determination and will. I was slightly discouraged when I first heard him say as I have definitely loads more to lose than 30%. However, I truly believe as long as I strive on, I will definitely be able to make it.
