mommamissy got a reaction from skinnyme13 in Calling all February 1st Sleevers!
I'm feeling better everyday. I'm still pretty sore on my left side where the biggest incision is. Having gas pains too but the gasx strip seem to help. I will try a shake today.
Also, is anyone having dreams about eating real food? I keep dreaming that I'm eating regular food and then realize I'm going to mess up my stomach. Then I wake up and realize it was a dream. :/

Hi everyone, how are you all doing with your weight loss and eating new foods? Since the day I walked into my surgeon's office I've lost about 22lbs but 17 since the surgery. I just starting eating blended, mashed foods this week and I guess I'm doing ok. I have noticed with certain foods that I get an uncomfortable pain in my chest (probably esophagus). Have you all experienced this? I'm hoping this will go away. .....soon.:/

Hi All, I just got back from my post op and had my staples removed. What a relief! I was hoping I could move to soft foods like some of you are but my doctor said definitely no. I'm still on phase 2 until 2/21. They were very adamant about not having anything with "lumps, bumps or clumps". I told them that had watered down mashed potatoes last night and they said that was a phase 3 food and that my stomach isn't ready for that texture yet, that pieces of the potatoes even fine can get stuck in your staples causing an infection or absess. It's crazy how so many doctors are different.
I'm usally able to get down about (2)1-cup shakes in a day along with about a cup of creamed Soup or broth. Good luck to all! I envy those of you who can have real food this next week

I'm doing ok. My stomach is pretty sore on my left side. Was very nauseated in the beginning but doing better now.

mommamissy got a reaction from BeagleLover in Surgery Monday. I'm about to back out!
Hi Frankenstein, sorry it's been so hard for you but think about the end result. I'm scheduled for my surgery on 2/1 and have been on my pre op diet for 5 days now. I feel like it's been torture but I just keep thinking of how I will feel after this. Everyone I know that has had the sleeve have had great results and are living pretty happy normal lives now. You said you have daughters, I'm sure you want to be healthy and be there for them. I know this is hard but try to stay strong. You can do this! We can do this:)
