My doc had my on 2 days of clear liquids then the “full liquids “ for 10 days .. I liked being able to get back to my Protein Drinks (I’m allergic to dairy so I’m using the one I’ve used for years) then after that the puréed stage for 2 weeks then “ soft chopped moist foods” for 3 weeks the back to regular food... March 19th lol they have it all planned for us. They say that if we don’t do well on the next step to go back a step and slowly add something from the next step.
I like using the boxed butternut squash Soup with a scoop of my Protein Powder mixed in.. I also put my crushed pill/supplements in it. Works well.
i see my doc on Monday as I need to go back to work Tuesday and need his ok. Several people that work in the program said they were able to go back that soon but use lunch time as a nap lol
we did this!!! Woohoo 🎉

Mine is 2 weeks of liquids getting in 60grams of Protein Shakes per day, that 2 pre made Premier Protein and 64oz of Water. Then at 2 weeks we can have soft Proteins but supposed to have 2 shakes and one soft meal. I started soft Protein on day 5 I couldn’t wait. I’ve been trying different things here and there with no problems so far.

U don’t understand how much hope u gave me when u said chicken wings

I have learned everyone’s doc is different Cuz mine said Clear Liquids the first 2 days after surgery then I can switch to just liquids and could have cream soups... it’s a bit confusing but I’m trying to just go with the flow of things I had my surgery on the 30th and I’m having a hard time with the Protein

I've stuck with tea, Water and added Protein today. Haven't been a fan of the broth. Whens ur post op. Mine is on the 9th. Dont know what to expect. My Dr doesn't seem like he gives out as much info as others.

My surgeons plan doesn’t even allow solid foods until 3 months out. These posts give me hope because we have 1 week of clear, 3 weeks of liquid, 2 weeks of puréed and 3 weeks of soft. I need to ask about it because every other plan I see moves along faster, as tolerated.
I am sure the puréed and soft stage is much better than the liquid. I will be ready for an egg by then, and I’m not even a big fan of eggs! LoL

I had the gastric sleeve Monday (1/29) and I really feel ok, my major issue after the surgery is I got my period and I haven't had my period in 3 years due to my birth control and now I can not tell if my bloating is from that or from my actual stomach that just got proved and prodded. I also can not hold any Protein down, I can drink Water but protein has been a problem. Any suggestions?

I just got home today. Surgery was early 1/31. First day was actually easier for me, yesterday wasn’t much fun and today has been a bit hard too. Gas pain isn’t much fun. Glad to have taken a shower but somewhat sore. I hope tomorrow is easier.

Hang in there I think the second day was the worst. I felt much better once I was home and able to take a shower.

I had my surgery on the 30th. All went well. My doctor also fixed a hernia that I had. It didn't show up on my pre op x rays. I had the usual gas pains that everyone gets but it's subsiding pretty much now. I was 288 at surgery I'm now 272. I feel great. I'm not hungry and I'm getting liquids down slowly.

I believe the six month waiting period and psyche evaluation are pretty standard. That is what my insurance required. Six months of weigh ins and office visits, psyche evaluation, EGD, clearance from primary doctor. All kinds of stuff before approval.

[emoji1440]‍♀️ alrighty, have a great night [emoji1433]

I was sleeved 1/30

Grilled chicken wings. I haven't tried anything fried yet. Hope I'm still giving you hope

U don’t understand how much hope u gave me when u said chicken wings

I definitely will

Thanks sooooo much sistasaaaa happy losing [emoji8]

Lol that’s okay sometimes the silly things work the best and I like the 360 cups because they come in multiple ounces I think it’s 4 oz, 10 oz 12 & 16 oz but I have only seen the 10 and 12 and the others online (: hope I was able to be of some help

Ohhhhh I thought I was a lil retarded to use a spoon to drink Water my kids were really looking at me sideways but I will try the cup first thing in the AM...

Whoop whoop surgery sissstaa! I don’t have a problem with my fluids anymore and My gas pain was very minimal but I took gas x to hurry it along. For a few days I felt like that too with the Water so I bought the miracle 360 cup (for toddlers) and it’s so much easier and I don’t feel as much air. But that’s my suggestion another suggestion is to use a baby spoon to drink the water which is what I used the first 2 days I was in the hospital

I haven't had any problems with anything else. I have eaten chicken. Chili Beans with ground beef. I haven't tried much veggies yet just steamed broccoli and spinach in my Protein Shake. I usually have a Protein shake and maybe two to three chicken wings. I did have cod last week and eating it kinda fast made me feel uneasy. I tried eggs for the first time today and wow..just wow..I'm pretty scared of eggs now lol.

Hi guys,
who would have thought our normal good drinking Water could change so much.. lol I look at my old water bottle and wish I could chug the whole thing for water, but as I think that my new little tummy reminds me... not now!....
i found that water and broth is working best for me so far.
I called the Bariatric nurse about the stuff I’m coughing up, and as I thought it was from the airtube down the throat causing irritation.. thick mucus with a little brown blood. It’s getting better.
i am lucky that I have not( yet) had the gas bubbles... although I am peeing out the iv fluids and have to laugh... every time I do I weigh myself lol my tummy isn’t as bloated as earlier.
my dr has us checking our temps/pulse and bp 4x a day..
i have the little pill cups on my nightstand and have 6 set out at a time, some with water, some with broth and some with the premiere Protein water.. but now seems very sweet.. so watering it down a little. The nurse said just try and drink a little here and there as the tummy allows.. seems to be working.
just a little update that I hope will help others.. #teamjanuary30th lol
