I’m almost 3 months out and still have issues drinking plain water. My surgeon did say that my pouch could be sensitive to the ph of the water so I usually add cucumbers, lemon or some diced fruit to it and it goes down a lot better.

How’s all the December sleepers doing? It’s our 3rd month post op!!! Time fly’s by!!!

That’s the school I got my bsn from !!!

Hi I would love more friends on MFP Sn::: rubyfitlbc

I can't have salad until next month just cooked veggies for now. 6 months no salad is a long time. I can have limited fresh fruits right now. They have to be soft fruit with no skin. so no apples and stuff like that.

I was sleeved on 12/6 and my surgeon gave me the ok to start soft foods last week and slowly transition to regular diet. I did try very soft over cooked broccoli and it felt so strange in my tummy. I want to try salad because i have been craving one so bad. Has anyone tried any fresh fruit yet?

I’m taking 3 weeks off. I could have gone back after one week really. My doctor wanted me to take 5 weeks off. But the extra time is helping me develop a routine and get comfortable with my new eating habits.

For me all the gas pain left once I had a bowel movement. I walked about a mile on day 4 and that got everything moving. Do what is comfortable for you and don’t over do it though. Also hot tea worked great for me also even though I had to keep reheating it lol

Omg I’m sorry to hear that. Praying for a safe recovery for you!

How are all my first week of December sleevers doing? Let’s get some updates. I’m 14 days post op and feel so great! Down 18 pounds at my 1 week follow up. I don’t weigh myself at home. I go to see my surgeon again next week so I’ll see how much more I’ve dropped. Only issue is my heart races after I eat or drink anything. Anyone else experiencing that too?

How are all you ladies doing?

Good luck and have a safe recovery!!!

Congrats on your surgery. I was sleeved on the 6th as well. First the yogurt didn’t sit well with me either until I blended it with a tiny amount of non fat milk to make like a smoothie texture. I just take small sips of that and it’s fine. Try it. I have started writing down what I eat and drink. I use an app to keep track of it all. I wouldn’t do the chew and spit thing because that can develop into an eating disorder or other unhealthy habits. Hope you have a great safe recovery sleeve buddy!!

Congrats!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery. The first few days I wasn’t hitting my water goals at all but I was always sleeping. Yesterday I only took my pain meds at night so I was able to get to 56oz of fluids. Still not all the way there but close. I just sip sip sip all day. And I change it up water to broth to ice pops to watered down prune juice. Just make sure you stay with in your programs limitations.
