I stayed in the hospital for 3 nights( horrible nausea post op), took 3 weeks off from work. Im an RN and on my feet most of the time. Felt really good after 2 weeks. Good Luck!

Like you, I really really wanted soda.I was really missing it. I had a small amount about 4 months post sleeve. I had no horrible side effects after but never had it again. Guess I needed a taste to find out that I really didnt miss it at all. Good luck!

I started at 349, day of surgery 4/29/14 I was 339. I am now 252. it took me a little more than a month to get out of the 300s. Best of luck on your journey!!!

Hi, I'm almost 4 mos out and have never felt tired.Im a nurse who works quite a bit of OT and am working out 6 days a week. The only time I felt sick is when I ate too much too fast, it didn't last. I had zero complications other that immediate post of nausea/ vomiting, went away in 2 days. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I would probably have spent more time planning for my immediate post op diet for when I got home from the hospital. I have not tried drinking soda yet and am not sure if I will.

I was the same way but once you are back to solid foods you will be surprised how quickly foods make you feel full.

I lived in my recliner

Im past the puree stage but I used to mix mashed potato with my protein and it only took a few bites to satisfy my appetite

I'm a nurse and took 3 weeks off. It was just the right amount of time for me.

Most favorite- only being able to eat a few bites of food during a meal. Least favorite- only being able to eat a few bites of food during a meal.

Arctic Zero ice cream. the whole pint is 150 calories! The choc peanut butter is not bad. 3g protein per serving.

I had pureed small curd cottage cheese and fat free ricotta during my full liquid phase( thinned with skim milk). Now that im in my pureed/soft phase, I still have those two( no longer thinned down) and also a small piece of cabot 75% reduced fat cheddar.

I take Celebrate oragne chewable multivitamin in the AM. B 12 sub lingual and thimine 100 mg. Was taking calcium chews but have been taking enough daily daily so I stopped taking those

Live Just over the bridge in jersey.I was sleeved 4/29/14 @ Virtua Mt Holly. Dr Wasser. Back to work one week now. Down almost 40 lbs since pre op diet started. Hoping to get the ok today from Dr to start weight training @ the gym again. I have been walking at least a mile every day.

I followed it for 13 of the 14 days I was on it. I ate normally on Easter Sunday. Didnt seem to effect my surgery. All went well. Good Luck!
