I'm 8 days post surgery, on my 4th day of full liquids and I'm averaging 66 g of Protein, and 488 calories, no problem getting down 64 oz of Water a day, and sometimes a bit more. It sounds like a lot when I read about the difficulty many are having getting in their fluids and protein. I have to sip, not gulp, but really, that's the only restriction. I'm worried that I'm already consuming too much!

WOW, 14 lbs! That is wonderful! You go girl!
I'm down 10 lbs in 8 days, but not complaining.

Same ! Not hungry either, just eating for energy. And for taste. I'm sure it will change when I move to solids but no restriction issues so far

Same! Once I got over the nausea I'm able to eat (drink) plenty. Today I had 1 ounce yogurt, 3 ounces baby food, Protein Shake, 3 ounces pudding, 3 ounces Soup, 2 ounces mashed potatoes, and 4 ounces soup. Plus plenty of Water and tea ! I'm like did they give me extra room!? Haha. I sip all very slow and have one spoonful, put spoon down, etc. Today I feel great and finally had energy!

I could only drink Water for a couple days so I'm sure that didn't hurt lol

Look at you!!! You are rockin' it! I can see the difference already. Congrats!

Rude comment saying well u messed with how your body functions with the surgery what did you expect to happen. PHUK UM.

Yay! That's only one month away, so yes, the countdown has begun. So happy for you!

Woo hoo! Not gross at all, looks like you are healing very well and your face already looks thinner. Congrats!

Looking great!! Reminds me I need to take a pic of my belly. One month post-op tomorrow but better late than never!!

So glad to hear your hemoglobin is rising. You are on the mend!

Hello all. Had my Sleeve on 01/15 or 15.01 if in the uk! Followed my pre-op diet and op went well. One night in ICU then one night in my private room, then home with a carrier bag of drugs, injections and bits. Loss went really well in the first 2 weeks, then I have stalled a little this week, but put that down to the 3 week curse, however I have been told to introduce scrambled egg, baked Beans, slightly chunkier Soup as i suffered from diarrhea for the first week out of hospital. Wounds healing well and everything else seems ok. A few pains here and there but not had any pain killers since day 5. I am struggling to get 2 litres of Water down me though, so need to work on that.
Well done everyone, big steps towards a better life for all.

Yea of course.
So in the hospital I was allowed clear liquids and my Protein Shakes which where ensure max Protein.
Also the first 6 weeks they push that they do not wnat us eating low carb. They do recommend sugar free for sweets so that you don’t “dump.”
So when released we can have full liquids and some purées Soups Beans ricotta cheese etc.
then on our one week post op appointment. We are allowed all soft foods. Just not meats yet.
Two weeks we can have soft food plus like soft cheeses, fish ground meats
Three weeks we can have lunch meat and cheese roll ups cheddar cheese etc.
week four post op we can have cucumber and tuna boats etc.
6 week normal eating

they just push to listen to our bodies. Obviously if your new belly is not liking something don’t eat it.

Also they don’t push for extreme amounts of protein because our body can only absorb so much. They recommend the first 6 weeks 45-55 grams of protein a day. They also don’t resend working out really hard until after the honey moon phase. Because our bodies are not taking in enough calories to work out. After about 6 months when we can consume enough calories. Then we can work out and work on building elan muscle not cardio since our bodies are still in a huge deficient.
Also they said if we r in the habit of working out. Then we can but this is just what they recommend for the best results. As per there program.
My surgeon also said. If I want to explore with a food eat a tiny bite and see how it “hits” my stomach. Like the first time eating salad. Eat a bite. Wait and see how your stomach reacts. Etc

Today 5 days PO and moved onto full liquids, which means I can have strain Soups and make my Protein creamy. So far so good. On this until the 9th when I get to switch to soft foods. My stomach is definitely a little tighter after introducing the different consistency, but no real nausea or discomfort so slow and steady wins the race.

Just did my weekly weigh in, down 19 lbs in two weeks since surgery. Eating lunch, 3 oz of refried Beans which is taking me about 25 minutes to eat. Prior to surgery it would have been less than a minute to scarf them down along with a bunch of tortilla chips.

My worst day was day 2. I prepared for day 3 by drinking lots of Water. I feel much better today (day 4).

I just want to say congratulations to everyone who here who took the major step of wls. There is a pervasive myth that wls is the easy way and even though we are just beginning, we all know that there is nothing easy about major surgery and committing to a lifelong dietary plan where we are determined to change and deny ourselves the thing that once brought us immense pleasure. Or at least we told ourselves it brought us pleasure because food was our friend. WLS doesn’t miraculously cure us of our love of food or our cravings for food, WLS is a tool to help us overcome our addiction to food. It just really surprises me to hear so many people who have zero knowledge about WLS say that it’s the easy way and we should just cut calories and exercise. So congratulations to my fellow warriors!!

Day 3 post rny is a bit of a struggle. I have no energy and though the pain is still quite minimal, every time I swallow Water I feel like I have to burp to push it down. Logically I know it's only been two full days and there is probably so much inflammation to work through.

I'm still walking and sipping. Just not the best day so far.

Sorry, slow posting. I can’t imagine what she must be going through. Remembering her in my prayers.

Look for her post. She had a tragic death in her family...her son. 😪

I’m walking laps too, feeling good. I’m waiting for the next leak test. From what I’m gathering I won’t be released until my doctor’s pm rounds and that was about 7 last night. Not complaining, so thankful all is well and all is well with my surgery twins !❤️💜🧡

I was hoping to be released early tomorrow, but doc said it would be early evening because after the leak test they have to monitor how I tolerate liquids.
They are so sweet here. The nurse ordered a sandwich for my hubby without us even asking after he decided to spend the night and brought him a nice fluffy blanket and pillows.
I mentioned I had a slight headache, After checking my BP, which was normal, the nurse called an on duty doctor who came in asked me a few questions, and prescribed something for my headache to be added to IV. This all happened in 10-15 mins, unbelievable I was a little nervous about surgery in PVR, but all is good
