Im 11 days post-op. Soft food stage. I feel energy is low understandably since im not taking in as much. I feel i am still finding my way with food like what goes down easily and what doesn't . yogurts and banana are good, egg not so much. I don't feel hungry either ! its quite strange. Water and liquid intake is a struggle, i need to work on it.

@@silverthreads I wasn't on any BP meds to begin with, however my sleeve doc thought i could go on some for a couple months to help me post Op. im going to monitor it for a few weeks and see. Thanks for the advice though that really helps. Im hoping it will regulate with more weight loss. But i will definitely keep an eye on it. I feel so much relief coming on here there is a wealth of knowledge and advice here that i truly needed

Thanks so much RNYoYo !!! Yes i was the heavy girl who everyone thought i would be pretty if i lost weight. Im still on my soft foods, figuring out my bearings. im praying the sense of acceptance comes with time. Thank you for valuable advice

Gosh i really needed to read this. I recently had my Gastric Sleeve 9days ago. I have been overweight all of my adult life. Major yoyo dieter, i would lose and regain. my willpower would fail after 4-5 months hence gaining the weight. Fat person in my friends group who were all skinny and still trying to lose weight. It really hits your self confidence. I chose gastric sleeve because im soon heading into my 40's my family has bad health issues and i dont want to be like that. I want to be at a happy place and healthy. my BMI was 32, and i had high blood pressure and cholesterol. I still do, still early days though so i only pray it gets better. i was 196lb ( 5,6) going into surgery. So i took the plunge. I was so worried about my future after this, its permanent and there is no going back. Buyers remorse literally set in the day after "did i do the right thing? my life is changed forever? complications?, i can't enjoy food anymore" everything !!! Im still new finding my way and coming to terms with it. I just hope i have get to a place mentally to accept it. For any of you who have been out a few months. Do you feel a sense of normalcy with your decision? Are you heading in the direction you want ?
