Thanks for this - it's nice to not feel so alone! I guess you just always compare, and lots seem to be having huge drops at this stage. Will do my best to be patient.

I have a 5th incision where a drain was placed (my surgeon's choice with sleeves) and it is healed but still tender and has days where even bending hurts. The rest are fine. I think it's just a lot of healing going on. I'm doubting myself this week... weight loss has really slowed 5 weeks out and I'm scared of it not working. I am eating the right amounts, protein, etc... just this irrational fear that it's stopped working somehow.

So guys... talk to me about poop/constipation. I am wondering if this is slowing down my weight loss!

So great to hear it's similar for someone else. xx

5 weeks post op for me today. Loss has been slow these last few weeks, but I guess slow and steady is the way to go, right? Transitional foods here - meaning mostly everything can be tried and chewed to a soft consistency before swallowing. Feeling pretty grateful to have a decent run with things agreeing with me.

Lost only a kilo this week BUT that takes me to 20kg lost since pre-op diet. Wow!!!

So nice reading up on your journeys, everyone! I'm 3.5 weeks post op and go back to the surgeon/nutritionist this week to hopefully get the all clear to go on to Soft Foods. So far I haven't had anything disagree with me, but I'm still learning whether I'm eating enough or NOT enough. It's strange to not feel hungry, I'm trying to decipher what 'full' feels like. Getting enough liquids in is tough, when you're stopping before/after meals.

I'm on purees still and can I recommend the baked ricotta dinner... omg yum. Full of protein (cheesy goodness)

Hi guys! Had my sleeve 2 weeks ago, and just getting around to updating. 2 weeks of liquids and just today had the all clear to start on purees. Food glorious food! How are you all doing?

Hi guys, newbie here (also from Australia - hi) My surgery is in 3 weeks time, October 3rd. I just started my 3-week pro-op shake diet today.... gaaaaah! So nervous and excited at the same time.
