I too am here!!! I had my surgery 2/28. Things have been pretty good! No nausea or vomiting. I'm just tired of these Clear Liquids and I have another week to do...This is insane LOL.

Everyone seems to be doing all the right things. Good job .However I haven't read where anyone is tracking EVERYTHING you eat or drink on a tracker.. This is soooo important to food accountability for every stage .. I use BARITASTIC it is easy and fantastic. download the app it's free and start tracking so you not guessing how much Protein, Water, food etc.... you are putting in your body... Carry on and Good luck......

I had my vsg on 2/27 too!

It's all of the fluids that you were given in the hospital. My weight was higher after surgery and stayed that way for about a week. It'll go away.

Wow, that does seem like a long time on clear liquids; I had Protein Shakes starting the next morning, although I could not get it down. Good luck! Can you tolerate broth? That might give you a little break.

@3sonsitk welcome! 96 ounces of Fluid is a lot!! I struggled to get to 60. I did not have a pureed stage, instead I did day 10 to 20 on smooth foods, and I just started soft. chicken Bone Broth was and is a miracle to me, it tastes great and gives you a little Protein, to boot. I also found a high protein mushroom soup mix on this site I like. I was sick of the sweet taste of everything else. Good luck!

Also here. Surgery was 2/11.

A blender would be a good investment. I blended whatever Soups I wanted to eat, but typically just strained off the broth and drank that.

Thanks@ResaRoo!

I'm here!!!

My sleeve was complete on the 27th, released 2 days later due to severe spasms when drinking. My surgeon did not want to release me from fear of dehydration. I'm finally home now, today is my last day of Clear Liquids. Full liquids during next 16 days then progress to soft foods. I still struggle to get in 96 ounces of liquids. The surgeon repaired a hernia that he said would've been bad if not repaired.
Blended vegetable Soup is on my list of full liquids. Does anyone have any blended soup recipes? I don’t have a blender but willing to purchase one. Also, please share what has gotten you through this stage. I'm not hungry per se but I'm ready for the change in foods.

Hello fellow Feb. 2020 weight loss peeps. Since it’s now March and we’ve all had our surgeries, I thought it would be nice to start a post-op thread. 😊

I did it. I had my sleeve done on the 28th. They have not let me go home yet because my hemoglobin is low. But I feel really good. I think second day was the worst with the gas pain, but it’s gone. Yesterday I was sipping away, I thought they lied to me and didn’t take my stomach. today I feel like I’m swallowing air so I’m keeping it slow. Over all I’m feeling really good. How’s everyone else doing.

So sorry to hear this. Hope all is well with your transfusion.

After getting two units of red blood cells on 2/27, I was finally able to join the sleeved club on 2/28. So far I haven’t had any vomiting, only nausea. The gas isn’t too bad either. I’m doing a lot of walking and my spirometer breathing exercises.

@MOHOJO19 I'm really sorry for you. I know it's way easier to say this than to go thru it but I'm sure your doctor is only trying to do what is best for you and before you know it, you will be done!

Down in the dumps. My surgery got postponed until tomorrow because my Iron is to low. So, it’s blood transfusion time.

Surgery this morning and I’m so excited.
