I am starting the puréed foods this Thursday and I am confused what are some things you guys eat. If you guys eat three times a day if so how much at each meal. Is puréed chicken salad and tuna salad ok during this stage if it's puréed. Does anyone have any recipes for anything good? I want to be creative and try new things. Especially when I start real foods I want to be creative and how much are you able to eat then?

I still get crampy I am 10 days post op. Especially when I eat cold things. I was wondering the same thing when does it stop. It makes me not want to drink always or sometimes I feel like if I may drink it gets stuck like I have a gas bubble stuck.

I am getting sleeved on the 24th of August. I will be 4 months post op around Christmas. Is it ok to try a tiny tiny piece of dessert? Does anyone have any suggestions. It will be around the holidays and just want to know if it's to soon or not even to try?

I am feeling the same way. I like ok at everyone eating and I miss just eating. I know I can eventually eat again I just can't wait for the puréed phase which is next week. I have been feeling kind of down lately crying and regretting this surgery some days. I know it's worth it an look toward to the future a lot. I know how you feel just hang in there and know it will all be worth it in the end.

I am 5 days post op and I get spasm or cramps every time I try to swallow a drink or something. I tried to have fat free sugar free frozen yogurt my doc said I can have it and could not get through 4 spoon fulls because my stomache hurt. Does this feeling ft better I feel like I will never eat real food again the way I am feeling now. I am forcing my liquids down and sometimes when I am drinking I feel like I have gas right in the middle of my chest. Will I get better? Is this normal? I can't wait to be on normal foods but I am scared to death that I won't be able to handle it because of the way I am feeling now. Can someone please tell me what they think or did u experience the same things.

I just had surgery a week ago today. Don't be nervous I was and now I think why did I drive myself crazy. Just be prepared for gas pain everything else was a breeze.

When did it start getting better for you? Please tell me before the 8 months.

I had surgery Thursday at 3:00pm. I had horrible gas in chest and shoulder for the first night. I kept walking and walking and the next day felt better not 100 percent. I came home today and every time I drink I feel my chest has something stuck in there. Is it still gas because I am still burping. I also have stomach spam when I take sips. Is this all normal???

Yes I'm drinking room temperature liquids. Did that feeling go away for you. I feel like I'm constantly swallowing bc I feel like I have something in my throat. Hopefully it gets better.

I had the surgery and I woke up in really bad gas pain I couldn't even breathe. I walked and walked so much just now at 3:45 am I'm starting to feel better but still some gas. Stomache is sore. Also pain meds make me dry heave and almost vomit.

I have surgery tomorrow and I feel like vomiting I am so nervous. I think I'm more nervous of what to expect when I wake up. Some people say it's so painful and some say they just had gas pains. I'm so freaked out. I am super excited to start my new journey but I am scared about pain. I usually do well with pain as I gave birth to two children with no epidural all natural. Everyone saids if you could do that then this will be super easy. Don't know how true that is [emoji45]

You have to toast it before cooking it?

Thanks everyone!!!! I just can't wait for it to be done with already.

I have my 7 month old and I have people for three weeks to help me with the baby after surgery. After that I am on my own from like 9-3. I will try to do most activities on the floor but if I have to lift him for his nap will it be ok by three weeks after surgery. Only lift for like naps and that's it. He is 22 pounds. I am nervous because i can't have people take off for 4-6 weeks to help me. I am already paying someone for two weeks and one week I have my husband. Anyone have this problem any advice will be greatly appreciated.

So it was good enough though to satisfy the pasta crave or not really? Lol

Everyone that I know that has had it done or see on this forum complains of being extremely nauseous. I am so nervous about this feeling and what have people taken for medication??? Is it really that bad? What would you compare it to?

What do they do at presurgical testing they told me I have to be there for an hour and a half? I thought they take blood and that's it. Only had one other procedure done and had blood work only.

Everything is being submitted to the insurance and I am waiting on approval. Does anyone have Cigna PPO and have any problems? Does Cigna take a long time or no my doctor said up to two weeks. I am dying I want this over with and know everything went through ok. I have a tentative surgery date for August 24th[emoji16] I am so scared that something goes wrong!!!

Has anyone had any problems with sushi after surgery? I obviously mean months and months down the line like 7/8 months down the line. I am just wondering out of curiosity.

How long does the whole procedure take? Everyone is saying something different. Some say two hours some say an hour some say right in the middle. How did you feel right after it????

Did anyone have to drink some nasty liquid before surgery for pre op testing? I know after you need a swallow test but never heard of before.

I am getting surgery the 24th and I am freaking out. Wondering if I made the right decision like second guessing everything. This is my first surgery maybe that's why I am like this. Looking for support and comfort stories from people that went though this. I know once I do it I will be so happy but I'm so nerved out all I can think about is the surgery. I am scared of complications or anything like that. Help me out!!!

I would love to be buddies!!! I am like questioning everything I am nervous but so excited to start. Do you start the liquid diet on the 17th like me?
