I went back to work after one week but should have taken an extra week. I was totally exhausted by lunchtime each day.

I am 16 days post op and craving pizza. At what point can I have just one bite?

Yes I have mint chocolate chip, chocolate and vanilla. Just tired of sweet shakes and ready for something else!

Sounds good. SF pudding also? How about SF fudge bars?

It is amazing how different the doctors are! I think I will try broth for a meal. Just can't do 4 shakes a day.

What kind of soups can you have? My doctor says shakes only until 10/24 and I want something real!

I am 13 days post op and tired of my protein shake only diet. Any other Oct 1 sleeves able to eat real food yet?

Totally understand the head hunger! I had mine on oct 1 and I am in the protein shakes not phase until October 28. Then I can do some soft foods. Can't wait for that!

I had my surgery on October 1 and I was terrified. Surgery went great and I have had little pain but the post op diet sucks big time! While I am not hungry I want something of substance besides liquids to eat. I never noticed all the commercials for food before!

I will ask about that. I have to take 3 calcium pills and 2 multi vitamins a day. They are big chalky chewables.

I am struggling with the vitamins also. I get the multi vitamins In but I am not always taking all 3 of the calcium.

I had mine on Oct 1st and feel the same way. I am really tired of the liquid diet and looking forward to protein shakes. I am very moody also - my poor husband! The smell of everything he cooks for himself upsets my stomach.
