I had similar pain.. My surgeon told me that I was swollen from hernia repair and it would eventually subside. Make sure you eat slowly and chew chew chew

I was also sleeved on 8/11. It seems like we are on the same track. I'm eating about 800 calories a day and I've only lost 22lbs since surgery. I've lost inches though. I eat lots of dairy.. Greek yogurt. Cottage cheese and Babybel cheese. Ground beef is a little tough but ground turkey and chicken work well. I also have a hard time getting 64 oz of Water in as I just get busy at work and don't sip so often. I do feel better though! I know the best is yet to come.

I've grabbed a small Wendy's Chili. You can order just a grilled chicken breast only from Sonic and that's what they bring. Lunchables and protein shakes from convenience stores. I too have forgotten my lunch on occasion. I'm not able to due beef jerky or nuts yet but I think those will be great when I can!

I'm also one month out tomorrow from being sleeved. Yay! I've been able to tolerate about half of a turkey burger with mild green chili and cheese. No bread of course and it was heavenly. Congrats!

This has absolutely made my day and I'm totally going to do some numbers soon!

I got the clearance yesterday to start eating soft foods. I can't eat much and I find myself having to sit up real straight and it hurts in my back when I get full. Weird. Still having a little nausea and diarrhea but I think I need a med adjustment

I can't do the pre-op vanilla protein shakes. They do not sit well with me. I've tried protein water and that's even getting hard. I'm still forcing myself to get the protein but I'm not satisfied at all. I've ordered some new Nectar protein that should be in tomorrow. I hope it helps! After Tuesday I advance to real fooooooood.

Social Worker with child maltreatment and also Hospice. I also teach an online University Class. Im a busy body.

Girl im still on Protein Shakes, Jello, broth, and Popsicles until I go for my 10 day on Tuesday. Then I get to move up to the cottage cheese, refried Beans and such.

You are going through a lot right now girl. Emotions are high and not very well regulated. I pray for patience, strength, and understanding during this difficult time. In Gods name.

Prayers up

Girl I don't think I could make it without the protein shakes however the vanilla shakes (milk based but I mix with water) that I was doing before surgery go right through me so. I've been doing protein water from GNC. I get to start having soft foods after Tuesday. Funny because the first thing I'm looking at is refried beans lol . Hang in there. I had to start a new plan on my bible You Version App today because I really needed a distraction. It was a gloomy day! ❤️

Lachlove .. Wow I have had a hard couple of days myself and this hit home. I think I actually am hungry. I went through the whole "head hunger" thing in the beginning but now I just feel like we weren't made to be without food entirely and if I never see another protein shake again it will be too soon. You. Are. Not. Alone.

Me too! I do like this site, it has been very informative on a lot of different levels, but the negativity will also get you down. I like to think I'm a positive person, and that's the support I like to be around. I haven't found anyone more supportive then loving Jesus and being around others that do as well!

I see. Thanks!
