I guess it's different for everyone because my nutritionist told me to have 4 oz of Protein 3 times a day with the diet ..jello, Water, broth, crystal lite, etc. but no puree yet. I'll prepare the 4 oz of protein but I can barely get down 2 (too tight, hurts to go down) and that's it for me. I'll sip on crystal lite, water throughout the day. The only thing is, anytime I sip, I get spitty mouth!
Best wishes to everyone.

Oh wow, "pulled from heaven"? That alone would have made me run from the thought of surgery forever! I'm glad you're well.
We had our surgeries on the same exact day. I'm miserable to tell you the truth, lol. I can't swallow well still. It's annoying. How is swallowing for you?

I'am a newbie here in this forum. I did the gastric sleeve this past 10/8/14 by my surgeon Dr. Eid from Advanced Laprascopic Associates at New Jersey. I came a long way because 2 years ago I tried to do the gastric bypass and I was getting a cardiac arrest and the doctor chose to close me up 20 minutes during the surgery. When I opened my eyes he said he pulled me from heaven. I was devastated and was depressed and the doctor or staff couldn't even tell me what happened to me. The only thing they said to me was to lose more weight and come back another time. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! I never went back to them. I statrted over again at another doctors office after two years and I found a wonderful who took the time and listened to my story and he and his staff was extra cautious with me. He said to me that the gastric sleeve was the best choice for me since my cholesterol and diabetes wasn't out of control. I weighed at the time 278 lbs. Before the surgery I had to loose weight and on ore op I weighed 265 lbs. Now I weigh 244 lbs. Right away you see the difference. Tomorrow I have a followup surgery appointment with my doctor and I'am excited to see him and thank him all over again. I look forward to join this journey with all of you and have a better understanding this big change of life. Best wishes to all.
