Yesss!! LOL So when I was finally able to have something other than chicken broth and then only had 3 spoonfuls and was full I was so upset! LOL. I'm not a coffee drinker, but was a big soda drinker before the 2 week pre-op diet. Had major headaches and caffeine withdrawal symptoms during the preop period. Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Everyone! I had my surgery for my sleeve on 1/31. Had my one week post op yesterday and doctor was pleased with healing so far. I had only been having chicken broth and protein shakes since surgery and he wanted me to move on to full liquids for a day or two and then pureed foods. My first meal of cream soup was suprising to me. 4 spoonfuls in and I was full. I was SO looking forward to having something with some flavor and then only 4 spoonfuls in and I couldn't eat anymore! LOL. I have one incision that is still really really sore and my surgeon says that is completely normal as thats the incision he inserts the stapler in and also pulls the stomach out of. I'm looking forward to this change and starting this new life! Starting weight: 248 Surgery weight: 238 Current weight: 220 Heather
