You look amazing! Congratulations!

I'm one week out. But I've been in pureed stage since day 3.. weird

At what stage did you try an egg? Did you scramble it? Or no? Did it sit well? I'm craving eggs but only in my puree stage still. Advice?

Right, this is the worst stage in my opinion. I'd rather just drink water

Really? 8wks can hurry up then!! I hate feeling thirsty lol

One week post op... Are mashed potatoes dangerous? Was gonna add extra milk to think them out

Thank you, were you able to drink a lot? You know how sometimes in the middle of the night you wake up with the urge to just CHUG water?? That's me every night!! I love water. Especially hint water, I've been addicted.. really wanna just knock it back lol

So I'm 6 days out and all I wanna do is CHUG water. I feel like I'm so thirsty all the time. Has anyone had a problem with drinking too much too fast?

4 hours???? Wow that's a long time!! Mine was 45 mins

I won't do the smooth move tea bc I've tried it pre operatively and got sick. Mineral oil finally did the trick for me!

Yeah I guess you're right, i just don't wanna fall Off the wagon lol

Awesome! Glad to hear it! I am only 24, I DEFINITELY wanna have another kid!

Thanks everyone! The carbs don't make me feel guilty either bc of the amount we eat daily. I'm sure missing potato chips tho!!! Kept craving those yesterday.

Hey great idea! I was just gonna add cinnamon lol!

Has anyone tried cream of wheat in their pureed diet?? Thoughts?

They make powerade zero drops... They are yummy!! And decaf iced tea has been my BEST friend... Especially considering the first few days I refused anything but water bc I was SO nauseated. Just 6 days out I stocked up on plain Greek yogurt, soups to strain, pb2, decaf tea, hint water(amazing) propel water, sf jello, and lots of flavor packets for my water. It's so important to drink your fluids!!!! Good luck!!! Oh, and I stocked up on stevia too!

Wondering how many people had a safe normal pregnancy after surgery. I know I have to wait a year to get pregnant, but it still makes me nervous. My little guy is 1 and a half so I'm not by any means in a rush lol! Just want to know what it's like for sleevers!! I drank probably 3 gallons of milk a week and ate cereal at 3am almost every night while pregnant with my first.... That's what my body craved!! Now I know I won't be able to do THAT the next time around!!

Well at least you're not in pain. I had an xray to make sure I didn't have anything foreign or torn in my lower belly. That's how bad it hurt me I got my sleeve the day after you, i literally have NO pain in my pouch OR my incisions which is good. But the pain from the constipation is enough to make me feel like I'm dying! Yuckkk

Yeah it really does suck to have to deal with this.. I had better luck today but that was after trying literally everything humanly possible! Hope you have better luck in the coming weeks!

Yeah I didn't even think that it could be constipation bc I figured it would be different.. but..... The pain is not ignoreable... It's like tearing stabbing exploding pain

My surgeon was off for the holiday and the office was closed. I ended up in the er at 4am

It's incredibly painful. I was in so much pain I had to have xrays taken to make sure there wasn't anything actually wrong with my insides. Feels like you're being stabbed...to say the absolute least... ???? still haven't gone. Will have to try something else

Same here, girlfriend. ????????????

They gave me FOUR suppositories..... ????

I was in the emergency room this morning and apparently I'm having pains from not going in 4 days... I got my sleeve Tuesday and still haven't gone. Tried mineral oil, softeners, benefiber, water, and haven't taken any pain pills. Help!!
