I was sleeved 9/14 and was on Clear liquids for 1 week after, them moved to full liquids for two weeks. THEN I get to go to a puréed diet. You likely ate too much, too solid to soon.

Talking about your feelings with a licensed therapist will help a ton. Also, taking with a nutritionist/dietician regarding what your future menu will look like will help as well.

Don't beat yourself up. It happens.

It's interesting that there are so many pre op diets out there. I'm allowed to have 100g of Protein each day (as well as my shakes and vegies). My surgeon said it is ok to have a tiny bit more meat if I'm still hungry. Whereas my sister's surgeon said 50g meat and as many vegies as she likes.

I'm curious. What does everyone's pre op diet entail?

Headache could be from dehydration, as well as the dizziness. Make sure to get that liquid in.

I'm 4 days post-op and the pain is bringing me to tears if I'm not right on schedule with the pain meds. Deep breaths hurt my upper abdomen and sometimes even taking super teeny sips of Water will cause the pain to spike. No fever, no cough, I can hiccup but it painful. Should I wait it out for my 1 week doc visit or call?

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and about 9 months out of surgery. It was definitely an oopsie! Used protection but the condom broke, first time that's ever happened, and of course it happened to be while I was ovulating. I denied it the first month, but after being nauseous for a week straight I figured something was up.

Anyways I feel like already my restriction is lessening and my cravings are in full steam!

Need to get back on track but at the same time I want to make sure baby is getting enough nutrition.

Is it okay to go back to my Premier Protein drinks twice a day plus Snacks and then a dinner? Or should I be more focused on eating "real" food.

I'm stuck between the terror of gaining weight and the worry of not taking care of my babe.

Any advice is appreciated!

(Ps I don't have a nutritionist. Had the surgery in Mexico and there was never any follow up or real support after the fact).

I'm having a hard time reaching to wipe my bum. Standing up with one leg on the toilet seat helps a ton!

I also cheated but made sure that what I cheated with was still a "diet" food. Good luck!

Hello! I'm on day 6 of my 10 liquid diet and I've noticed that it seems like there is something in my throat that only goes away with a good cough or throat-clearing. Is that normal? Am I imagining things?! Kinda feels like there are strings hanging out in there.

Halp.

I drink 80-120 oz of Water per day. Bought a thermos smart lid bottle that syncs to my phone so I don't even have to keep track. I also drink 20oz of black coffee in the AM

I like infused Water that I make myself, my current favorite is cucumber lime, or I use the Mio Vitamin drops in Blackberry Raspberry flavor. It's sweetened with stevia instead of sucralose, which I hate. They also have a Tropical Cherry flavor that I haven't tried but is stevia sweetened. I have no idea which Vitamins they claim to contain as I use a tiny amount because full strength is too sweet :-P

It could be swelling from the tube down your throat during surgery. If it's still happening, make sure to tell your surgeon at follow up.

Had my pre-op appt today and was prescribed the pill. I'll be adding it to my diet after I get my next period, which will be a well or two after my sleeve on 9/14.
