I think for me I had so many telling me how painful it was going to be that I was expecting the worst!! It really wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be. Today I am on week post op 17 lbs down very little pain and noticing other body pain diminishing!!!

Have you talked to your surgical team about this? If not, please do. Good luck!

I'm on pureed, just started. The ricotta bake is like heaven. However, made a scrambled egg, two bites and the most horrible dry heaves! Your sleeve will instantly tell you.

Lets Look at them side by side:

SF Jello cup: 10 calories 0g fat 0g carbs
Cup o noodles: 314 calories 14g fat 42g carbs

So even if you could have the noodles, you can clearly see why they would be on the no list.

just sip sip sip.... you will eventually find it gets more and more comfortable!

How long until it's easier to drink? Mine was on the 28th and it's really hard to drink enough.

Mine was the 20th and feeling great. After you get thru the gas pains, there will be no stopping you!!! I'm down 35lbs and can walk with NO knee pain!!!!

We're twins! I thought the pain was going to be much worse but all I am is weak from just slip and slides. I've only lost 11.

Mine was last Wed 3/22 and as of today the discomfort is less each day and so am I!!! Down 17 lbs!!!

I have a high tolerance for pain. The first two days in the hospital I pressed the pain button whenever I could. After that I took no pain Meds. I'm so glad I had the surgery. Go for it

That's normal! I did the same thing! It gets better hang in there! sugar free popsicles is great too! Good luck [emoji256]

Congratulations, ladies. I don't envy you your first week after tomorrow, because discomfort is the nicest word. But it'll pass.
My surgery was March 6th, and now, I already feel as if the surgery hadn't happened.
You guys won't regret this! I've lost a total of 35 lbs from the pre-op, to now. And I feel great!

Who cares what the scale number is or what some chart says? Just set your goal at a size where you feel good, are healthy, and like the way you look.

Tentative 3/15 will get confirmation for sure by Tuesday. Excited...Anxious... hopeful!!!

I don't think you should give up. Call your insurance and get specific denial reasons then go back to your doctor and tell.them it's not about what they want it's what you want and you want to appeal

Your sign should be that you had your measured/weighed portion. You can't really depend on your body to tell you. Once your body signals you, you aren't full you have over ate.
There are a lot of threads about this if you use search, but...
It varies by person. Some people get a running nose, some hiccups, burping.
Early on the nerves are not reconnected (your Dr should talk to you about this but a lot of them aren't that good and don't), so you can't depend on feelings from your stomach. Also like I said before, by the time you get the signal to your brain you have over eaten.
You do not want to depend on feeling full long term.
It is a recipe for overeating and regain. You need to learn to eat proper measured/weighed portions and being satisfied with those, so long term when you can eat more, you don't.
Example I can eat 6 ounces of steak before I get stuffed, but a proper portion is 3-4 ounces (not just for sleevers but for everyone, people are not eating proper portions). 3-4 ounces will satisfy me for hours, and provides enough Protein. If I just relied on my feeling of fullness I could over eat a proper portion at every meal.
Creating good habits in the very beginning makes it easier to follow them later on. Right after surgery your tool is working the hardest to support your good choices. As time goes on and you heal and have more capacity and less fear of food, you will have less support from your tool, and will have to depend on the good habits that you have built over time.

Thank you [emoji4] great advice. Glad I joined this site so helpful !
