It feels weird even to tpe that I am already sleeved and almost a week post-op. Doing well on Water and Protein and my post-op in this Friday where I will hopefully get to move to pureed foods. How is everyone else doing? Any others sleeved within the last week or two?

Starving Myself? And other fears...
ChelleDJM replied to Megaloo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello. I was sleeved on 3/18. The first 3-4 days home, I would take about 4 hours to drink 8 ounces. Now I can drink Water fairly quickly, but I still make a Protein shake and it takes me a few hours to drink it, rotating with sips of water in between. Each day will be better. For now, get your rest in. By day 8 I could do the water and protein requirements...but not even close on days 3-6! -
I was sleeved in GR by Dr. Schram on March 18th. I really like him and his PA Erin too. THe hopsital staff was great too! Do any of you go to the support group? I was thinking of checking it out this coming Monday.

14 days Post Op...tips on food please...
ChelleDJM replied to azinuit1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am loving pureed heartier Soups - Progresso Light chicken Pot Pie soup, split pea, etc. I also pureed a can of higher quality turkey chili. I boiled 2 eggs and pureed with a little greek yogurt, mustard, and avocado. It's all so yummy! Denser foods are not feeling too good for me yet. I tried a baked ricotta from theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com and it was a little much, but good. I'll try it again tomorrow. -
Oh! I am so right here with you! I was sleeved on the 18th and did well for a couple nights, then I would sleep for about 4 hours and then not be able to go back to sleep. Now, for the last two nights I cannot get to sleep and I stay up all night. Last night I slept about 2 hours. It's terrible. My post-op is Friday so I am going to ask about what to do. Melatonin has been suggested to me. I hope we both get sleep soon!

According to my plan it would be.

The pain is still there, but not too bad. I opted for a second night int he hospital and was really glad I did. I have been off pain meds for about 3 days. My program is Clear liquids and Protein shakes for 2 weeks, then pureed. I am so tired of the Protein Shakes. No problems with heartburn. Some gas pain still in the shoulders and down the tummy, but not awful. I got 4 meds for nausea/spasms/cramping and have only taken one once.
