  1. First day of puree diet!  I blended together four small pre-cooked meatballs with a couple tablespoons of marinara sauce and some Italian seasoning, and it was better than I expected.  I also mashed some canned carrots, but I could only eat about six or seven bites of the meatballs before I could feel myself getting full.

      Wasn't it wonderful to taste real food? I did something similar with meatballs. It was one of my go to foods.

      Sounds delish! I’m currently still on the full liquid diet stage. Enjoy!

      That's awesome! I should have done something like that. I survived on soups. My first food in the soft stage was meatloaf and I went at 12:01am to a 24/7 deli... I was so impatient. I tried to puree some rotisserie chicken with gravy... omg... that was a nightmare!

  2. Four days post-op now, and the funniest part of all of this is that every night, I've dreamt about eating...

      i am glad i am one of those that never remembers my dreams. i will take the experts word on the fact that everyone dreams but you cant prove it by me.

  3. About 36 hours post-op and I'm feeling surprisingly well.  My sister, who had the sleeve in December, told me that she wasn't even able to walk this soon after surgery, so I'm thinking that this is part of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program that my surgeon is part of.  Now I'm mostly worried about keeping myself hydrated tomorrow.

      Glad you are feeling better than expected! The only advice I have for the water you've probably heard before - keep water on hand and take small sips as often as possible. :)

      @SydneySleever Thank you! I have my 32 oz jug of water that I'm carrying around with me all day.

  4. One day post-op... wow I was really hurting yesterday.  I dry heaved three times, so don’t try to sip water and walk around back-to-back.  I’m doing better now, there’s a lot less pain and I’m able to sip without throwing it up.  Surprisingly, I’ve had no problem sleeping, but I don’t know if that had anything to do with any residual anesthesia in my system.  Luckily I’ll be discharged within the next hour.

      Did you only spend one night in hospital?

      @Sophstar Yes, I only spent one night. Today I'm able to walk around with minimal pain. You really do feel exponentially better every day with this surgery.
