My surgeon does not require a pre op liquid diet. I have to do a low carb, low fat 2 week pre op diet instead. Which sounds like heaven compared to liquid, lol.

Hi! I was sleeved on 4/21/14 and would love to share this journey with you.. My surgery went well, but then I came down with pneumonia a few days post surgery and ended back in the hospital for 5 days. Not fun, but I'm getting back my energy each day. I'm also an upbeat, happy person by nature, but this has been a tougher first 3 weeks than I'd anticipated. I need to get back to work ASAP but am still pretty wiped out. No pain and no hunger, which is awesome. I've been craving really cold drinks. . I hope you are feeling well!

Given that anything going in your anus would have to travel at least 25 feet through your intestines to reach your stomach, I'm going to guess hell no unless your partner is some kind of serious anatomical freak or you have the world's longest toy at your disposal.

At 11 months post op, I've adapted well to my new "normal" life. I LOVE to workout: running, weights, yoga, workout classes. I've completely given up rice, bread, potatoes, and Pasta. I don't eat fried foods or candy. Basically, I eat real food- Protein, veggies, fruit, nuts, yogurt, cheese. I never feel deprived or left out- it's all about the mindset.
And I'm starting to love shopping instead of crying and dreading.
Here are my pics
I also added other photos & photos of food I eat (hopefully this helps someone) in my 11 month pic gallery.

Ok, I was sleeved on the 7th, and I mix my Protein with the almond milk, vanilla! I let them freeze just a lil bit and they are so good! Try that, also to switch up the broth, I ordered the clear broth from the Chinese restaurant! That was yummy as well! I hope gets better for you! I am very gassy, so I understand, I just let it out and keep going! Everyday is getting better, I plan on driving tomorrow, due to going to handle some business!

Hi
I'm Jody from Canada, looking for a weight loss buddy to connect with daily (or so) and to share our ups and downs. So far my surgery has been pretty easy - no nausea, throwing up etc. I haven't felt hungry since before surgery. I've lost 14 pounds so far (up one today because I got my period I think). I love to cook. I love to eat healthy. I'm very realistic about my weight loss and body at the end (that I'm not 20 and will not have the perfect body). I know it will not be a easy journey but I really am feeling up for the process. Any anyone want to encourage each other and share our struggles especially as we go from the different stages of food.< /p>
Thanks
