Jeez, people, get off her back! I think your surgeon us crazy - a month of Clear Liquids? I was sleeved 6/22 and suffered hunger pains really badly. I talked to my nutritionist and surgeon. Both agreed I could intro soft foods as I could tolerate them. Chew if you need to chew - think high Protein. Good luck!

Hi,

I am new to this site and the forums. I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on August 10th, and I am terrified.

I am looking for a mentor to help me through this process. Some one who has already been where I am going would help tremendously.

I am 47, a mom, a grad student, and ready for this change in my life

Hey, Dana. I'm 46 a mom and teacher. I am also not the most conventional sleever. I was sleeved 6/22/16. I'll help if you want a rebel point of view.

I had my surgery on the 30th. I'm feeling pretty good, I think. Just bad has pains and trying to figure out how much a sip is really to my body. I've been nauseous enough to run to the toilet but haven't got anything up which I think is good. The worst site for my pain is on my lower left side of my stomach. I look like I'm pregnant with all the swelling lol. I know I've only gotten about 20 oz of Fluid in,but Water doesn't go down well right now. I'm craving a Doctor Pepper so bad it's not even funny haha. I haven't had one of those since before my 2 week preop diet which I didn't even crave then! Bodies are weird haha. Carbonated drinks are a thing of the pass body,get it together!

I wish my body would hear what I'm telling it, too...it wants something I can CHEW. The smell of the Protein shakes is awful to me right now, I just want regular food. My surgery was on the 21st, so I've had a couple of bites of refried Beans and a bit of chicken. My stomach tolerated them well, but those 2 bites of Beans almost filled me up. It IS weird how our bodies are reacting to what we did to them, isn't it?

Hey, ShelterDog64 - my surgery was on 6/22. I could not get through the liquid phase. I was starving. I talked to my nutritionist and she said to go ahead and start incorporating soft foods as tolerated. It was heaven! I needed to chew something and now I am. I've had chicken salad, chunky Soups, oatmeal and cream of wheat. Another thing that really helped was juicing. My fav recipe is called Wingman - you can google it. I really struggled with the Protein Shakes making me nauseous. Talk to your nutritionist ( if you have one). No need to suffer! Good luck.
