    I had surgery on the 26th and today is my first day I am allowed to have pureed food which includes pudding. Did you have a 1 week or 2 week liquid diet?

    I was sleeved on 3/27/18 and I’m still on liquid diet until Friday 4/13/18 when I will see my surgeon and they will decide if I’m ready for next stage. I’m down 23 lbs, I’m dizzy because not getting enough to eat. So it’s been hard trying to get out there and walk around a lot.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having all these issues. Everyone says it's going to get better I just wish it'll happen a little faster. However I'll continue to have patience as well.

    Once again I thank you for sharing your experience, I’ve had the same symptoms too, I was sleeved on 3/27/18. I guess for now patience is the best way to go for me, I know we are all different. Please continue to share your journeys. Eventually we can look back and see how much we have all progressed.

    Boy has it been rough but it’s most certainly getting easier. I was sleeved March 26th and just started feeling better yesterday. Still feel like I’ve been kicked in the gut by a horse. My doc already has me on soft pureed foods but I’m still mostly getting liquids down. Yesterday I got 86 ozs down with 75 grams of Protein. I also had a tiny bit of pudding and a fudgesicle, both delightful. I still get a pressure sensation when I drink (as soon as it hits my gut) but it passes after a few seconds. Still getting rid of the gas too. Good luck guys, remember day by day.

    You are doing great, I was sleeved on 3/27/18 and I guess since it was from band to sleeve it’s been taking a little longer to catch up. But sip sip sip is the word, little by Little we will all make it. Thank you all for support and info on your daily progress.

    The question could be any of these: How soon? how much? and how fast?

    My doctor and nutritionist cautioned about taking Protein Shakes and even any other supplements before all the nausea fully subsides. The thing they mentioned is that when having any problems with any new intake that doesn't go well wait a week before trying that one again.

    I sleeved 3/28 and as to Protein I had a half scoop last night mixed with thinned greek blended yogurt and again Protein mixed with baby oatmeal and both went down just fine. Just had a Protein Shake made with Water that went down just fine, but only 4 oz and sipped slowly. But everyone is different.

    Good luck!

    You are doing great, I wish my gas and sensitivity was like yours. Please keep us updated, you are my idol. ;))

    Sleeved 3/27 and have been doing the liquid diet....working my way up to 64oz per day. Have been doing Premier Protein shakes, sf Jello and popsicles, broth and ice cubes. Will do this for one week and then go to soft foods in the 2nd week.

    That’s awesome job, keep up the great work. Your stomach will thank you later, I was sleeved 3/27/18 but I’m on liquid diet with Protein for 2 weeks.

    going straight from clear fluids to shake seems a bit tough......did you do full liquids in between?

    Also you have to sip very slowly at first....be careful. good luck

    That’s great advice to take small sips, you will feel when the liquid hits the bottom of your NEW stomach. It’s different now, so it’s like introducing food into your new system. Take it easy, it’s helped me out. I was sleeved on 3/27/18.. We can do this!!!

    March 19th sleever here. Here is the way I see it. I have been using food my entire life to cope with things that I am at a point where I am just sick of it. I am sick of what I have done to my myself. The opportunities that I have missed. The shame and embarrassment of being overweight and the real stigma that exists. I just did something about it. I know it is only a tool but less then a week out, I feel like I have more energy. The pain is subsiding, and I can see a future. No one said this would be easy, but I am going to put in the effort and achieve my goal weight.

    Very well said, I agree and feel the same exact way. Good for you, I pray that all you want will come to pass. Thank you for your words

    You are swollen still from 1. Just having had major surgery 2. You had tubing in your trachea to assist with your breathing while unconscious. 3.you had an endoscopy tube down your esophagus and into your stomach to help size your sleeve properly 4. You had been NPO since midnight the night before? Your throat might have been as dry as the Kalahari Desert. Even with a lot of lubrication things might have scraped a little going,in and when they were removed. Hey it should rapidly get better day by day, you'll soon be fine and able to smile about this chapter in your journey.

    No one can tell anyone what to do in there journey but I know I had same feelings. It seemed all the months leading up I was super motivated but when I got down to last week it seemed everything changed. My last week every day had second thoughts and even sitting waiting day of still second thoughts. Myself did go through with surgery and one week out no regrets. Ultimately it’s your body you have to make choice but I know I made right one. Keep the faith!

    Very well said, I couldn’t find the words. But thanks to you, I will keep the faith when all seems lost. Good luck to everyone, Thank you again.

    I am sorry to hear this. I hope you are feeling better soon. I know its a struggle to get in the fluids but we must! Maybe you should try putting yourself on a timer every 15-20 minutes and then have an ounce or two of liquids. I think Apple203 was having success with that.

    Sorry to hear, hang in there and just try to get those fluids in. It’s not easy, we are all rooting for you. Please keep us informed, Thank you.

    I had my surgery March 5th. I have had a really rough time since getting out. I had to stay overnight and I felt fantastic when I got out. With the exception of the incisions not healed all the way I am doing good. The day after my surgery, my son passed away unexpectedly at age 31. The police came to my house an hour after I got out. I have not concentrated on what I should be doing and immediately following finding out I ate foods I should not because people were bringing all kinds of food to my house . I ate stuff like a half a cupcake and I began smoking. Losing my son has taken its toll on me. Physically I feel fine, but mentally I am heartbroken and my coping skills are weak. I had lost 13 pounds and the last two days gained 2 and I actually was following the instructions. It has been a roller coaster since the day after and I feel hungry and it might be hungry in my brain. It almost just seems I don't even care about having the surgery anymore, I have had other things on my mind like preparing for his service and everything and now that it is over I feel empty. I am hoping to get back on track...

    I’m truly sorry to hear about your son, my condolences to you and family. I pray that in time things will fall back in place and you can continue with caring for yourself. Please come back update us, try to relax and think of the wonderful memories.

    March 27, for me......very nervous. I have a lap band that twisted and can't wait to get it out, I only lost 35 pounds with it I've had it 7 years. Ugh

    I look forward to loosing more weight and getting off sugar and high blood pressure meds.

    I hope I can do this.....it's really helping me to read through all these.....thank you all.

    Wishing you the best with your surgery. I’m also on 3/27/18, I also have a lapband and I’m being told that if there’s too much scar tissue when they remove it. My sleeve surgery will have to wait a few weeks. I’m so glad to be in this great group too, everyone is so helpful and informative.
