Im 17 days out and still on full liquids until Tuesday when I start pureed food. I can only manage about 1/2 cup of thin Soups, eaten slowly. also can finish a Premier Protein shake in 15 minutes. Full after both.

you arent the only one. My sleeve was Feb10th. Im stuck at 12 pounds lost. I dont see how because I am only eating @600 calories a day and getting all my Protein and Water in. I also have hypothyroidism so I always think it will be harder for me.

Thank you! I live off of Costco's Organic Tomato Basil Soup haha!

Im only 13 days out. I get two Premier Protein drinks in a day. 70 oz. of Water or propel. and two servings of some kind of strained low fat Soup. Usually Tomato basil. Probably a half cup each time.

32, then had my birthday 7 days later. Nice little bday present with no cake!

55 minutes exaclty with a hiatal hernia repair.

My surgery was at 6:30am and I was home by 4pm that same day. Was up walking the halls @ 9am. My surgeon doesnt keep sleevers overnight unless there is an issue. They just made sure I could walk a certain distance, pee a certain amount, get an ounce of Water down every 15 minutes, no nausea or vomitting, got 2 bags of Fluid in me and pain level was okay.

Im 13 days post op and still have pain at incision where the stomach came out. I think I over did it the other day cleaning house and yesterday was so so sore, but a lot better today.

Okay to drive as long as not taking pain meds.

I like the Cookies and cream ones and the cookie dough ones! But I can't eat them yet...one more week of full liquids then purees....

sleeved 2/10, down 12 pounds and my first follow up appointment is in a couple of hours. Doing good so far. Im still on full liquids and only get all my Protein in by drinking it. Trying to drink more Water though because I am slacking on that part. Hoping I can start mushies soon but my plan says one more week of full liquids....I dont know if I can do it honestly, get really hungry at times. Still pain at the left incision site. But the one great thing I am noticing is that my skin is amazing! Clear, small pores, even tone. I am loving it! Younger and lighter! lol

1. How do you feel? Any issues?

Im good, except for the last couple nights have been waking up because of a wierd felling in my stomach. They feel like hunger pains.....

2. How is your water/protein intake?

I probably should be drinking more Water but hard to get it all in

3. Have you had your first follow-up appt? How did it go? If not, when is your appt?

first follow-up is tomorrow!

4. What stage food are you on (full liquids, purees, etc.)?

full liquids, cant wait to move to purees

5. Have you hit buyer's remorse yet or still glad you did it?

no remorse

6. Lastly - how much have you lost since the surgery?

down 12.

I have my first post op appointment tomorrow. What is entailed? Iknow they are going to take out the staples at each incision but what else? haha I dont know why but Im nervous!

I am having the same issue....so hungry. Im 7 days out.

Im 6 days post op. Can you take antibiotics? Im sure I will have to break them in half or crush them but just wondering.

I was sleeved on 10 Feb and I have to say it wasn't bad at all. I did have to be pushed back because my surgeon was called into an emergency surgery right before me (I pray the patient lived). They gave me something in my IV to relax me and I remember nothing after that until the recovery room.

Hardest part of it all was all the needles. It's not normal but my veins aren't normal either. The IV "infiltrated" twice so I ended up with 3 different IVs. Then after the third they came to star blood but all my good veins were jacked up from all the IVs. Smh I cried and begged them not to stick me anymore but I'd still be there if I hadn't.

I'm home now and trying my best to get in my Protein. Suprisingly, nothing is disgusting so far. But I'm scared to drink because the full.feeling is the worst! I slept in a chair last night. Quite frankly my Ass hurts from sitting and laying so much (I have been walking some though) I'm dying for a shower but I'm freezing cold for some reason and the thought of being colder after the shower scares me

I'm feeling better every day. Trying not to take the pain meds they prescribed but I did fill it just in case.

My dad came in last night (I got home around noon yesterday) and before he said hi he says, "so how much weight have you lost"..... Lmao! It doesn't work that way dad! :lol:

All in all, I'm glad I did this...so far

I was sleeved on Feb 10th also! It has been easy for me to get all my liquids and Protein down but as of yesterday Im starting to get really hungry. I also can't tell when enough is enough when I am drinking. Its very frusterating trying to figure this all out. Im scared to push it and then get really full.

I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the time of my sleeve and have the same pain on the upper left side under my chest. It gurst to take a deep breath but just try and push through it. It gets a little better everyday. I am 4 days post op.

I am doing 8oz at a time of the Soups and Protein Drinks, and I just sip them for around 15 minutes. I tried drinking Decaf coffee and I am not able to drink more than an 2oz. So I think you will be able to tell how much of anything you can drink.

Great thanks!

So I am on phase 2 liquids( strained Soups, Protein drinks). But are confused on how much I can drink at a time. Just to when I feel I am getting full or just a couple of ounces... Help.

I was told not to drink Gatorade. It is on the No list.

Good to hear! I heard it may take a while before you poop because you are mainly on liquids at this time. Today I feel like you do...I dont know if its hunger pain or not...

Just hade my sleeve on the Feb. 10th. Has anyone experienced pain on the left side making it hard to take a deep breath? Sometimes I think it may be gas pains but not sure. I take liquid hydrocodone for pain and it doesnt help it at all. Do I need to call my surgeon or give it a couple more days?

Hi guys, I am new to this forum and love all the topics and support I am reading. My surgery date is scheduled for Feb 10th. Im so nervous, it is all that I think about! I have to do a week of the pre-op liquid diet which I'm not looking forward to but considering myself lucky as some people have to do longer.
