@@AfitRN2015 I appreciate the tips! I'm doing great today. No more nausea. I'm able to get fluids in easily. I drank an Isopure Protein Drink with no issues. Tomorrow I get to try yogurt.

I was sleeved on Monday. I had moderate pain the first couple of days. Maybe some mild pain the third day. Now, five days out, I have virtually no pain. Even if I push right on my incisions I have barely any discomfort. I did have some nausea the day after surgery but it went away and didn't return.

My nutritionist told me to introduce new foods slowly one at a time. If a new food isn't tolerate then back off for a few more days before trying again. I'm only on day 2. Having a rough enough time getting liquids in while fighting nausea. The tiniest of air bubbles in my new tummy makes me nauseous. Gook luck!

You've got this! I was sleeved on Monday and feel great.

I was sleeved on Monday. I'm doing awesome! All of my pain is gone and I can drink liquids with no problems. I'll exceed 100 ounces today. I go slower when I drink Protein Shakes. Maybe 30 minutes for an 11 ounce shake. My problem is that I want some real food. I'm allowed drinkable yogurt and Protein shakes now.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I can drink liquids easily. I can drink 16 ounces in 30 minutes. It does make me wonder if my food restriction will be enough. (Sleeved on Monday)
Keep sipping. It should improve over time.

Woke up this morning with minimal pain. Very happy about that. It's become a lot easier to get through Water and Protein Shakes too. I coughed hard earlier and felt like every organ fell out of my body lol be careful. But overall my intake is going great and the pain is down, so im going to work on some Soups tonight. I took chewable vitamins, and i felt like i had a 7 course meal, but no nausea. Sounds like everyones getting in enough liquids and protein! Thats the most important this first week. Im also walking 15min every hour or so and that has really helped the gas pains. Week 2 and 3 are right around the corner!

@@BusyLizzy it was barium. I don't remember if it had any flavor. You don't have to drink very much. (One swallow) They watch it go down on a live xray. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

Not as drastic as before but changes in my arms, head, neck and narrowing of my belly, I'm 5 weeks since start of pre op diet and 3 weeks 4 days since my surgery

I'm loving losing almost 1 lb a day. I too know it will slow down but isn't it great while it lasts! I lost 32 lbs pre-surgery and another 10 in the 12 days since surgery. So much fun to see what fits me every day. I go back to work tomorrow and will be wearing clothes that I haven't fit into in years. Yeah!!!!

I get to start creamy Soups next week. Hopefully that will help. I have to wait until day 18 to start pureed foods and cottage cheese. I can also start eggs then.

Wascott, I'm jealous, but I'll get there. Enjoy and best wishes!????????

@@wascott that's awesome! I'm hoping a week in i'll have no pain as well. That gives me hope. Best of luck

I was sleeved on the 20th and I am feeling great as well. After day 2 I was doing great and not having any pain. I had a little gas but it wasn't terrible. I have been getting in about 65g of Protein and the same in ounces of liquid. I am just focusing on getting everything in.

Same opinion here. Get your clear fluids in before you worry about your Protein. My first protein was an Isopure clear Protein Drink on day 4. Day 5 I did an isopure and later in the day a Premier Protein shake. Take very small sips and wait before taking another sip. You need to learn how your new stomach is going to feel. If you feel full or stuck then it's time to stop. You still have a lot of swelling. It will get better.
Also...bubbles are bad. Try not to swallow bubbles. The bubbles can be difficult to burp out with all that swelling and can cause some pain and or discomfort.

I use myfitnesspal. Works on phones and tablets and synchronizes the data.

Congratulations to all you June sleevers! Looks like I wilk be a summer sleever
My cardiologist made me get a heart cath which I finished yesterday and he says I am clear for surgery.
@mclorie I am so excited you have your date. I will be behind you shortly.
All the best for the June sleevers!

I was sleeved 6/1 and I was very hungry too. The good thing is that once my body got used to my new stomach size (about 5 days out) my hunger went away. I think it takes a bit for your body to adjust to your new stomach size. Everything is going great 4 wks.

I'm 5 days out. I have no problems drinking liquids and Protein Shakes. Whether it's head hunger or real hunger - I have it. I swear I was less hungry on my pre-op liquid diet.< /p>

Wascott....exactly! I'm the same way...my fluids are going down great...gimme some real food. Hell, I'm excited for a scrambled egg white and cottage cheese!
