I am on day 20 post op and the scale has not moved in 10 days. I am getting about 650 cal a day. Maybe to little? Today I start soft foods maybe my body is just think I starving it!

I am a May 6ther also. I haven't lost since 10 day post op. Nurse said no worries your body is trying to figure out your next move. Are you going to eat or starve it. She said this happens through the entire process. I am living off cottage cheese and Protein drinks so far. Looking forward to day 21. I must say I have ate re-friend beans my list of approved foods, but I only ate close to 2 tbsp. Glad to see others are eating them also. I am ready for tuna/mayo what a treat that will be!

Congrats! I am a 10 day-er also. I had the same situtation with waking up. I dailed my swallow test and nothing was going through for 3 days violently ill. But, now I am good. My full liquid diet is differant. But I did get cottage cheese and peach baby food yesterday and LOVED it. Ate at Chili's last night for a B-day party. Had a cup of potatoe soup and had the waitress bring hot water to thin it. DELISH! Today I am looking forward to advancing and feeling even more alive!.

Today is day 10 for me and my first day with full liquids. Cottage Cheese with Peach baby food. Couldn't get the 4oz down but Loved the bit I did get down. So excited be past Clear Liquids!!!

WOW! Great job!

OH THank goodness! I thought I was the only one! Everyones breath is horrid! What is up with that? It is disgusting and it gags me to the point of no return. Please tell me it goes away!

May 6th for me, today was pre-op, signing last consent forms, paying for the surgery! Things got VERY REAL today! I know that if I needed surgery for a tumor or any other life threatning condition I would not question it. So I will not question this because I belive this is life saving for me.

I am to be sleeved Tues 4/6 and what a blessing to be worried about having to eat and not the curse we live with from over eating. I am looking forward to food not controlling me. And the pre-op diet has really opened my eyes to why I am in the shap e I am in. I realized today that food has always been on the front burner in my life, but I have made a decision to put me in front of everything else.

I am on day 7 had hit a brick wall yesterday. I have been taking in Isopure powder shakes no carbs. Called the clinic to learn that my shakes can have carbs if less than 10 grams. I am sure that is why I am a limp dishrag. I bought another brand with less than 10 grams and have had one shake this afternoon. I am hoping this will make a huge difference. Call your docs office and find out your restrictions.

How are you fellow sleevers doing today? I am also having surgery on the 6th and my stomache has spams so bad I am gagging. I have had no energy today and felt like a wet kitten. I still have not put one unauthourised thing in my mouth. Please tell me this part will get easier

I am scheduled for the 6th and I also am hungry. This will make day 4 a nd its the weekend, the grandkids will be here and I will have to cook. So far I haven't cooked since the pre-op started. I am also cash pay. So great question, I look forward to seeing the answers!

Now that is inspiring!

Thank you, for the info. I have called the office for verification on that.

My question is...I am paying cash for the surgery due to have insurance with strick exclusions. But now my doc wants me to have colonascopy, EGD. Will that throw flags to my insurance carrier and cause them to excluced payments for any sleeve related charges?
