I'm almost 2 weeks out and I was put on soft foods on Monday. It was probably the best day of my life I've been eating refried Beans with shredded cheese, turkey chili, low fat cheese sticks, mashed potatoes with no problem! I do get full fast but the food goes down with no problem! I was afraid I would have problems eating but I've been great so far! If you're still on liquids, don't be discouraged! It gets way better

I'm 5 days post op and I didn't think I would be so hungry this soon! I'm starting to think this was the biggest mistake I've ever made

I feel your pain girl! I've been so hungry so on day 7 post op I snapped and ate some hummus! But I was only able to eat so little before I got full! I didn't feel sick but I did feel very full Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been drinking Protein Shakes, Water, broth, sugar free Popsicles and crystal light! I'm on day 5 and I don't have to sip one ounce anymore. I can drink it in 1 shot. Maybe it's just in my mind but I feel like the liquid isn't doing it for me anymore. I can't wait until next week so I can eat some pureed foods Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm day 4 post op and haven't been hungry at all. I would definitely not take any chances eating prematurely. The last thing you want is a leak that could have been prevented. I am on clear fluids for this first week (Water, crystal light, sf popsicles, sf Jello, Powerade zero, and broth)
It does suck when I'm cooking yummy (even healthy) food for the family and sitting at the table while they eat, but I know I'll be able to join in soon. Stay strong and remember why you had this surgery. You will be able to eat eggs soon. Just be patient. Good luck!

They weighed me at the hospital right after surgery on Monday and I was 335 pounds! Now Fri morning I'm 318 I'll take that lol I'm sure once I start the exercising it will come off quicker. I'm 6'3 so my goal weight isn't too far away! I'm glad I made this decision! And you should be to

Feeling much better today! The day after surgery is extremely uncomfortable! I really suggest that if you're going to have this surgery, please stay in the hospital for at least 2 days! Don't rush to go home. Stay in the hospital and let the nurses take care of you until you feel good enough to leave. I came home the day after surgery and I felt like crap! Extremely nauseous and I had horrible gas and hiccups! Today I feel much better! So my advice is, stay in the hospital for at least 2 days

Got sleeved yesterday at 2pm! The surgery itself was very quick! Once they hit you with the anesthesia you don't even you're out until you're waking up in recovery. You'll still be out of it for about 3 hours after surgery until the anesthesia wares off. I personally had no pain, but the gas pain is SO uncomfortable! I suggest that you walk as much as possible! That's what helped my gas pain go away. Make sure you sip your Water slowly. Even sips of water will make you feel a little uncomfortable. But the more you drink, the easier it will get. I tried the sugar free Jello but it didn't feel right going down. So I've only had water since the surgery and I don't even feel hungry. This surgery seriously does take away your appetite in the beginning. Just make sure you get in your water and Protein because you will not be hungry. I'm actually being discharged soon because I drank 4 ounces in an hour. If you're doing this surgery, I hope your surgery goes as smooth as mine! Good luck!
