Definitely a challenge to get liquids in ... Sleeved on 7-21 and today has been the best with liquids. Puréed yogurt, Sf Popsicles, water, tomato soup, protein shake... I'm still not sure I got quite enough in. Getting tired of sweet stuff...
-
I like everything except unflavored. Texture usually a bit thicker than chocolate milk...
-
Looking forward to cheese with jello, Popsicles, sf carnation instant breakfast , protein shakes, anything salty sounds good right now. Wouldn't it be nice if I have my fill of sweet by the time I'm in on puréed foods?

Unjury, available at unjury.com -
Maybe you should call your dr tomorrow for clarification....
-
I think focus on fluids ... Sounds like you could be getting dehydrated.

Post-Op Panic - They Can Reattach It, Right?
MaryPh replied to LemonMarie's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was sleeved on Tuesday and feeling very optimistic. We can do this! I have friends/family who have done this and they all tell me it gets better each day. Try to focus on why you chose this option and follow your doctor's regimen! -
July 21 sleeve date and scared
MaryPh replied to Phoenix924's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was revised from band to sleeve on the 21st and your fear is mine as well. I'm promising myself that if I follow the plan laid out by my surgeon & dietitian, I will successfully lose and keep it off. They know what they're doing!! I'm heading home from hospital later this morning ???? -
Really need advice before surgery
MaryPh replied to back2me1987's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
My doctor insisted on a full week off. Surgery was this Tuesday and back to work next Wednesday... I was a revision from lap band to sleeve, so that might make a difference. -
you'll do fine ... It won't feel like a long surgery. Even the time in pre-op seemed to go fast!
-
Surgery went well. Had some internal bleeding last night that caused a good-sized hematoma on the right side of my belly. They gave me two bags of plasma and everything is looking better. Moved to a regular room today and they took away the morphine pump. We had to cut the pain pill in 4 pieces and take with jello. It was tough to get them down!

Getting Sleeved Tomorrow 7/20!
MaryPh replied to SnOwCrAsHeD's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery yesterday. Doing pretty well except some slight complications with internal bleeding. Will be fine though, as the dr and nurses are taking great care of me! -
I'm wide awake too ... I check in at hospital in 4.5 hours for surgery. Wanted to sleep a couple more hours to make morning go faster. Be well today and congrats!!

MaryPh replied to dcmoore56's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

I look forward to tying my shoes and feeling better!! -
My Facebook page ad me as a friend and I can then ad you as a group member. https://m.facebook.com/S.E.T.B.ME?ref=bookmarks Can you add me now, Haley?
-
What's the name of the group? When I go to the link, it looks like a direct marketer page of some sort...
-
Thank you for sharing your experience... Wishing my surgery was over and I could say I made it through the rough few days afterward. Keep up the good work!
-
Thanks @@Remix earlier bedtimes might be in order for me too!
-
Tonight was tough with everyone else eating so much. Kept telling myself I'm doing this for me and there will be lots of other holidays and gatherings to get through, so get used to it. Hoping it's easier after surgery. ????
-
Yes I had the band several years ago. Very excited for the sleeve!
-
Definitely!! Sounds like our regimens are a bit different pre-surgery, but our journeys will still be similar. Is this your first bariatric surgery? @@Bullydog Mom
