Can someone tell me if they are taking gummy vitamins.... I was on them but then I started taking what the doctor prescribed pre op and I am having the hardest time getting those down. It is liquid and it makes me gag. Any suggestions?

I am 14 days post op today....yay! I go to the doctor today and I will have my first weigh in. I have not weighed at all since the morning of my surgery! I am just hoping I get moved to the next stage of food! Wish me luck!!!!

Can someone tell me how My Fitness Pal works? Does it track your calories for the day? Easy?

As curious when you got to the purée stage if anyone tried the purée baby food? If so what was good .... What was not?

Has anyone tried the purée baby food?

Just have a question for all of you veteran sleevers! I was sleeved 10 days ago and was wondering if I will ever be able to have something sweet again ... Like a taste of a cookie... Cupcake ... Or anything else. ? I know these foods will never be part if my daily diet anymore but I have heard conflicting reports that we can never have sugar again... That the sleeve will not tolerate it... That we will throw up . True? Just curious ?

Hi everyone ... Was sleeved on August 27... Just made it into the group.. Lol!! All has gone well. Went home with a pain pump for two days... Never took a pain pill... Had a hard time the first few days getting my liquids in... And fatigue... Have been going to sleep at 8am!! Sleeping until 4... Which is a record amount of sleep for me!! However I am back to work so I am probably a little more tired from that. So 10 days post op.... What do you think can I go from my 2 Mile walk? I am feeling like I need to get out there and exercise however not sure about the time frame . Love this thread! Alyce

Vbm510.... I can totally relate.... Sleeved august 27.....10 days ago... I had applesauce in my yogurt... Can hardly take the shakes anymore! Hang in there ... Almost time for purée ! Alyce

Mellytoon.... I totally get it! I was sleeved on August 27 also... Protein drink... Broth... Popsicles..... And I can have plain Greek yogurt! It has not been easy... But I know food is coming. My post op is September 10th and I am hoping at that point she moves me to puree.... Hang in there... Many of us are in the same boat! Alyce

Day 9 post op and I can take 2 gulps of water at a time...I love to gulp my water since I live in Florida and I am a teacher and walk around my campus quite a bit... It's the little things!!

Thank you everyone... It was unsweetened applesauce... And it totally agreed with me!!! Can't wait for food!

Hi everyone....I am one week and a day since I was Sleeved. I have been following full liquids.... Shakes....tomato soup.... Greek yogurt.... I could not take the Greek yogurt anymore with sugar free strawberry preserves so I added a couple of teaspoons of unsweetened applesauce...........I don't go to the next phase until September 10 ....was that okay? Alyce

One week post op... No pain... Never had nausea... A little sore by the inscision area.......went back to work Tuesday after LABOR DAY.... Was sleeved on august 27.....I educated myself and prepared for everything and hoped for the best! Alyce
