Have you called your surgeon? Perhaps I'll make an exception if you can't tolerate what they have advised. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi there! Sleeved on 9/7. I feel a bit better each day. Lots of pain the first few days, but have been off the pain meds for the last three days. Experiencing some lightheaded-ness, I'm getting at least 50-60oz of Fluid so my team doesn't think it's dehydration. It's annoying. I have three weeks of liquid and I'm pretty darn sick of shakes.

It is so hard. I don't do artificial sweeteners often either. I'm a week post op on 3w of liquids and this isn't much easier, but it's temporary.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

3 weeks of liquid and start introducing soft foods. 14 days left of the liquid, not that I'm counting.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I planned on a week. I thought I sit on a computer all day and can work from home, should be "doable". Um. No. I'm 6 days out and will definitely not be back full time as expected on Wed of this week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anybody try V8 in this phase? Plan to email my NUT, but still curious. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on Wed. I'm pretty sore and exhausted, but managing okay. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for these posts! I was sleeved on 9/7-Wednesday. So it's super helpful to know our experiences are similar. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery on Wed. Don't be a hero, get anti-nausea meds. They help. I've read on here acid in stomach and also cause nausea. If your doc prescribed Prilosec or the like be sure you're taking that too Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3dpo and have similar symptoms. No hiccups. It's hard to move, I keep worrying I'm going to blow out the stitches getting in/ out of my bed or a chair. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve yesterday and im feeling very similar. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on Wed and am doing the same family meal prep for my three kids. Good luck!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow. I'm literally crying at my desk at work. Such a gutting post. Thank you. Keep rocking it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Love it with salsa for savory and peaches for sweet. We season it with Nature's Seasoning by Mortons. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Love this reply! It's almost exactly what I did with my kids. I have a 12.5 year old daughter and 9 year olds. I do not have plans to tell most people, but I knew the kids would be on to me when I brought the first Protein shake home! We told them it's a "family thing" so I wanted to keep it between us. I realize it might not last. I'm on day 5 of my pre-op diet and they've been so supportive! I really focused on it being about ME and my need to be healthy and a more active Mom. I explained how it will possibly change and benefit our entire family. This isn't easy and I know I'm going to love having my kids in my corner when I am post-op. And I can't wait to see what we learn as s family. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Vlogger Melanie Sliced Thinner has a great vlog on this backed up by research and comments from GENEPRO. Check it out and you might opt for a different vendor. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm four days into my pre-surg diet and I think the first two were the hardest (we had two parties this weekend-ugh). The first day I didn't drink enough and was a mess. Learned from that and have managed better the last three. I can totally see how the Protein drinks will get old though. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've not posted yet, but lurked for months. I can relate 10000% to the presurgery freak outs. I'm scheduled on Sept 7. And second-guessing my decision almost every time I see food. I'm on my presurgery diet which allows me to eat small amounts of food (abt 600 calories), so I'm starving. And I hate the feeling of being hungry. That's why I am fat. It's so helpful to read success stories @@Dub I needed to read that I *should* be able to eat normally in the future. I needed to read that this morning--thanks to all the amazing vets that share their wisdom and stories! You are impacting more people than you know! Now off to find my liquid Protein breakfast....
