Hi guys I had my sleeve done December 11th and Just looking for a buddy for emotional and motivational support this is totally different and I’m excited

My post op is similar
1-4: liquid
5-8: kinda liquid (can't translate it well)
9-15: purees
16-30: soft food
30+ : normal diet (must be 7 week post op before bread, Pasta, rice & red meat)
Can't wait to have post-op food. I am on day 26 of pre-op liquid. Getting my sleeve on monday and it is about time.

I was up 11.2 pounds from morning of surgery (12/11) to the day after (12/12). It's from all the swelling and Iv fluids. As of this morning (12/14) I've lost that 11.2 and am 1.8 lower than the morning of surgery. The iv Fluid weight goes away quickly.

I found this thread a motivation, so I figured I would add to it now that I'm officially post-sleeve.
I started off at 406 during my initial consult back in June. My insurance required a 6 month diet program, in which I lost 88lbs pre-op. My official surgery weight was 318 on 12/11/17, and as of this morning, I'm at 313.8.
Almost to TWOderland!!!

I'm so glad my surgeon didn't require a long post op liquid diet. The plan he gave to me for post op was:
Days 1-2: Clear Liquids
Days 3-20: full liquids and purees
Days 21-42: soft foods (defined as can be cut with a fork)
Day 43+: Normal diet
I was sleeved on 12/11, and yesterday I tried some applesauce and Ricotta bake, and today I've tried cream of wheat, in addition to the Protein Shakes. All has settled well, but in shocked at how little fills me up. For example, about 1/3 of a pack of cream of wheat stuffed me at Breakfast this morning.
Also, I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 4.2lbs since surgery day in Monday, which is crazy considering I was UP 11+lbs the day after surgery!

Hi, all. I was sleeved on 12/11. Anyone else have a noisy new stomach? I feel like even just drinking Water, I can hear it "processing" down through my new stomach (I can sure feel it to!). It's this normal? Is this permanent?

Just has my sleeve put in yesterday. I passed my swallow test this morning and I have never been this happy about getting a bottle of Water.

The pre op diet sucked. But the recovery yesterday was total he'll. I cramped all night and had severe back pain and a lot of trapped air.

It's different for everyone, the lady in the room next to me didn't have any gas.

oh but the most significant change in me is that I walked over a mile yesterday and today. 5 times yesterday and 3 today so far. Hopefully i go home soom!

I just got home earlier today. I'm getting nausea when I sip Water, but haven't thrown up yet.
I get killer pain on my right side under the rib cage when I breathe in. Anyone else experience this?

I'm getting ready to go to the hospital. Surgery at Noon. The nerves are real!

Small mini update. I told you I was eating the 2 oz meal. That settle better in my belly I had a little bit of pain and there is ALWAYS Gad when I eat or drink anything even Water but I didn’t feel uncomfortably full like my belly was going to explode. I feel satisfied but can’t really say I feel full I no longer know what full or hungry feel like I guess I feel filled but not full like before. It used to be a feeling in all of your stomach area is not anymore (understandingly) it centers in the middle and a little towards the left but not much.

Two things I had not updated and I am sorry if is tmi. I got my period two day ago, let me mention I had not gotten it in about 3 months and also that I had an iud implantes Friday before surgery so idk if it has more to do with that than my vsg. Also I have not been able to go number two since day before surgery let’s see how that goes when the time comes.

I hear you on that! Starving!
Good luck to you!

You can do it. Stick to your diet and exercise regularly. I am now down 65 lbs. It's going slow, but the scale is moving.

I was required to purchase BariatricFusion Vitamins from my surgeon's office at the pre op education appointment. I have to but CitraCal over the counter.

I had sleeve done April 17th.. surgery weight 270.. I hit onederland today!! So excited!!! (don’t look at my toes lol I know I need pedicure lol)

You're one day after me. I'm on 12/11 and just started the 2 week liquid diet this week. Good to see another guy in the December crowd.
