What blender do you have to purée these?

I was one of 2 post op patients walking in the halls, and there was no farting. I actually didn’t pass wind until 3 days later!! I did burp but no gas. I thought the same though, that there would be more people walking. I’m just glad I had my husband to walk with me.

Today was my 4th day post op and I have been doing excellent! However today was the first family dinner we had and it was a real wake up call for how hard this is truly going to be. While everyone was having tacos, I’m drinking protein water. [emoji45] I’m happy that I finally got my sleeve but it is so bittersweet, because I did not realize how huge food is in our lives. But I made it through! And I’ve lost 2 pounds this week! And I’m thinner than I have been since 2010. Cheers to a new beginning. [emoji173]️

Thank you all! I was in quite a lot of pain directly after, so I definitely made sure to get my pain meds on time and not try and just stick it out! This pain is no joke! I have been getting up and walking in between sleeping and the nurses are impressed. It has helped a ton with pain! It feels much better than lying down. I did sip too much water with my meds and almost felt like it was all coming back up but I kept it down. Now I know my limits on fluids. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!

Gastric Sleeve happening at 9:35am. I’ve been wanting this for ten years now. I’m nervous excited and can’t fall asleep! Just wanted to thank everyone for the great advice and I’ll keep you updated on how everything goes!

I only have to do one week of the liquid diet but my doctor and dietician are very strict. I felt terrible day 1, currently on day 2 and I am struggling!! It’s my mind that just thinks I need to eat but I’m not actually hungry. My brain is gonna need as much work as my body!

April 30th!!

Hi everyone! I’m new as well. I am just beginning the process. My insurance does not require a waiting period so the surgery could happen as soon as March!! I have met with the dietician and have 3 various other appointments to come. I need to lose 10 pounds but I’ve lost 5 already so that’s going good. I’m in it for life. Nice to be here at last.
