I had surgery December 11th I was sleeved so I’m about six days post opp and I don’t feel discouraged if anything I’m just excited to get going and be in the swing of things. It’s totally okay with being nervous before your surgery trust me I was but the end results are gonna be so worth.

This photo has helped me to not be discouraged but look forward to weeks

Yesterday I was down as well over reading a post on a Facebook group. A gal posted that she had surgery ONE DAY before me on Dec 4th and she's lost 35 lbs SINCE surgery. What? wow, I have never heard this before. My husband says she's lying as I know some people embellish their results. More believable is 35 since she started. But in only 11 days? I think most of the people who read that post was not believing it. I can believe 30 in the first month. Anyone heard of 30 lbs in 10-11 days?

Thank u I am gonna try that!

I am also five days post op and I noticed that if u drink more Water it helps to not want anything else I’ve definitely noticed that it’s a mind game that u have to play with yourself to get the hunger or want thoughts out. I did notice that eating a mint has helped

What stool softeners do y’all recommend

I had surgery dec 11th and I notice that sometimes my chest aches after eating but I’m thinking it’s got to do with the gas maybe but I drink Water afterward. I’m on liquids and Jello lol so hopefully itll ease up

I keep Water with me constantly and it helps tremendously

Thank you so much! I am gonna try the cream of wheat I never thought almond milk was gonna stick with Water but I will try that . How exciting thank you again

I had vsg surgery 12/11/17!
I need a buddy support!

Yes, I had surgery the 4th and recovered well. Off pain meds day 3, no complications at all...... Except I'm hungry all time which I wasn't before. Nothing seems to satisfy it. I'm hoping that since I advance diet today it will be better. I licked a French fry the other night. I've dropped 20 lbs so far and I'm following my post op menu. Something's not right

Hi all! I was sleeved 12/12. Came home 12/13. Jumped on scale just now and I'm up ten pounds.

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

I’m one week post op and smells don’t bother me, taste hasn’t bothered me but I’m trying to determine what will be good for me moving forward, I’ve watched tons of YouTube videos and read my manual front to back but I kinda feel like my stomach is strong enough to handle some things just in super small portions.

as everyone else has said yes, the taste the first two weeks just is awful. But Water is your number one priority. (I tried propel Water and it helped a lot first two weeks for me) Reason for readmission is being dehydrated. (soft hug) I'm day 44 out from surgery and it is getting better albeit slowly. Be patient with yourself and the process (again easier said than done) go for short five or ten minute slow as heck walks find things you love to do sensory wise that will get your mind off of it. I took up knitting 2 years ago and am glad I did. Also, I highly recommend face to face flesh and blood support from those going through what you are.

So what is technically okay to start eating after surgery? I have no appetite for Soups and Protein Shakes are decent I’ve done the Jello but I want refried Beans soooooo bad lol!!!! Help ideas!!!!????

I just had the sleeve done on the 11th so I’m almost a whole week post op
