I have been eating chicken and other soft foods and I still don't feel like I an getting full like I should. I too feel like my sleeve might be too big, I feel like they didn't make it small enough to lose the amount of weight I was told I'd lose :/

I am almost 3 and a half weeks out; my surgery was June 4th. Based on other diets I've seen on here, I almost feel like I am eating too much. I have been eating like 2 ounces of chicken or fish for a meal. My usual day consists of a scrambled egg w/ cheese for breakfast and then 2 oz of chicken, fish, or lean turkey lunch meat for both lunch and dinner. I haven't had any nausea or sickness from it yet...

I was able to eat about an ounce and a half of blended up chicken breast today, I put a little tomato sauce and cheese in it and it definitely tasted the best out of anything I've had in the last two and a half weeks after my surgery. Hopefully the tomato sauce is ok since my surgery tool book doesn't really mention it being something to stay away from.

Maybe you could call and try to get in earlier, and if it gets too bad maybe you should go to an urgent care or something just to be safe. I'm also terrified because my insurance doesn't cover anything with weight loss so I was a self pay so if anything goes wrong I am so screwed

I have no idea, I don't have much pain anymore but I just don't feel full. And I saw someone above mentioned eating too much causing leaks so now I am nervous that I am eating and drinking too much. This whole thing is scary.

I was sleeved on June 4th, the nausea was terrible for the first few days but it gets easier. I feel like deep down I expected to lose more weight than what I have so far. I'm afraid my expectations are too high. I'm also scared because I'm on the soft food stage and when I eat I still don't always feel like I get full. I'm so scared that I'm eating too much without realizing it... This whole process has been the hardest thing ever and I'm still nervous everyday.

I am about a week and a half post op, I'm on the soft food stage. Anyone have any good food ideas that have protein? I still have to wait another week before I can purée meat.

Well I had my surgery yesterday, my surgeon said it went perfectly. I'm still in the hospital, not sure if I can go home today or not though cause I'm so nauseous. The pain isn't too terrible but every time I try to sip water I feel like I'm going to throw up. Not trying to scare anyone, just thought I should share. Let's just hope it goes away soon so I can look at the positives!

Well I am officially freaking out. Just got my surgery time... I am tomorrow at 10:15 am. I need lots of encouragement right now guys cause I am so nervous and totally freaked out!!!!

I bought a few different types of protein shakes just to be safe but the one I am most excited to try is Unjury. My doctor recommends that one a lot and I've heard great reviews! You can only get it online though at www.unjury.com. And don't worry, I wasn't instructed to do liquids before either, I even asked my doctor after I read all these posts and he said every one is different but that he didn't think I had to...so hopefully everything goes well because I only have 5 days until Wednesday!!!!

I wasn't instructed go do all liquids either so it's a relief to see another person that hasn't been on a pre-op liquid diet. My sleeve is scheduled for June 4th!!! I'm so nervous but I'm excited too! I enjoy the Rockin Refuel protein drinks. Good idea with the unflavored protein powder, I'll have to look into that. I also ordered a couple cookbooks for after the surgery! Feel free to talk to me anytime you need, no one can ever have enough support!!!

Ok well I already take a multi vitamin everyday so maybe I will try to replace at least some of my meals with protein shakes just to try to start getting used to it. I only have 1 week to go! June 4th is coming quick!!! Do you guys know what all vitamins you'll have to do post-op yet? My doctor said multivitamins, vitamin b-12, and calcium. I was kinda shocked to hear there was only 3 because I remember hearing stories about people having to take "so many" vitamins the rest of their lives.

For people that are doing a pre-op liquid diet, are you guys doing your vitamins already too? I just find it so weird that I wasn't instructed to do a liquid diet before my surgery...

My doctor never instructed me to do a pre-op liquid diet either. He just said to try not to eat anything "too heavy" during the week before my surgery. I even asked again because I've been seeing so much about the liquid diets but he said that every person is different and he didn't see a need for me to do that. So hopefully everything goes well, I get it June 4th.

I'm sure they will! I'm getting so nervous!!! But I'm excited at the same time! I'm just ready to get this done and start seeing results!
