Advancing your diet- on your own
This is exactly how I am currently. I have one more week of the full liquid diet and I feel like I'm ready to move on to the blended/puréed side of the diet. I have my one week follow up tomorrow and I'll mention it to them and see what they say. I found I'm able to take bigger sips now too which is absolutely wonderful! Follow my

Advancing your diet- on your own
So I'm a week post op and I've been on a full liquid diet since I discharged from the hospital. I've had Soups and curries with no problem obviously because they're liquid. Haha! But has anyone actually tried advancing your diet by yourself? Like, trying some soft foods to see if you can actually eat it. DISCLAIMER: I already know some people on here are going to attempt to jump down my throat or be like "LISTEN TO YOUR SURGEON! DONT DO IT!" But I'm asking out of SHEER CURIOSITY. Lol. I'm not trying to advance my diet without my surgeons content. I'm asking because I'm actually curious if anyone has done it, their experience, etc. I also want to know what happened when you did. Even if it was by accident. Follow my

For the ladies:
I'm a few days post op, and I started my period literally thee exact day I got home. My periods are not regular, but I just had one a week or so ago. It's very heavy! Anyone else experience this?! I expected this because I'm putting my body under a lot of shock. But, I didn't expect how heavy it is. Please tell me I'm not alone. I can't deal with healing and this all at once. lol Follow my

Officially on the losers bench!
I was sleeved 09 January, and I am finally home and in recovery. My surgeon was able to do the single incision and I'll insert a photo here so those of you that are interested, can see! The whole day (and first few days post op) was documented on my YouTube channel as well!! However, I still feel actual hunger pains in my tummy & I also have the hiccups really bad. They're very painful. Did any of you experience either? I'm walking and whatnot, so not sure what else I can do. Ah!!! Still so unreal that I've been SLEEVED!! *the scarring above my belly button is from an old belly button piercing. The surgery was done through my actual belly button* Follow my

Could I be consuming too low calories?
TheRevisionedVagabond replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A@@Bufflehead ah very true. I just haven't been losing which is what's making me a little concerned. I've rang my nutritionist, so hopefully she can tell me some more foods I can have. Thank goodness it won't affect my metabolism! Haha! I thought it would destroy it! Follow my

Could I be consuming too low calories?
So I'm on the final days of my 2 week pre-op diet (THANK THE HEAVENS! ????) & I'm concerned I'm not consuming enough calories? I'm eating around 600 a day if I eat a few Snacks. Is that too small of an amount? I feel fine on that amount. Not hungry anymore or anything. But I fear it'll affect my weight loss post surgery. Follow my

Question about Drains & Foley's
I'm apparently getting one of each in & from my experience working in a hospital, my patients never like either & appear to be in so much pain when we take them out. Can someone tell me what the pain is like? All I'm finding online is that the drain just feels weird. Doesn't really hurt. But Catheters/Foleys, I'm not really finding anything. Follow my

Please calm your nerves. Your is adjusting to the new you. Just be patient!Adjusting is perfectly fine. I understand that. Where I'm irritated is the fact that my body is now gaining. My doctor can easily deny the surgery if I gain weight. So easy. So no, nerves are not going to be calm as this situation can easily cost me an opportunity to help better my health.
