Kept busy all morning. Checked in for pre-op and keeping my nerves under control. My tween gave me a stuffy and a card to remind me that I am strong and I've got this!

The pre op liquid diet I just used this time table and put my flavors of Protein where I wanted them. I had to consume 5 shakes a day.
Morning- PP Java
Snack- PP strawberry and Cream
Lunch- PP Cake Batter
Snack- Ensure max French vanilla
Dinner- pp chocolate peanut butter

For broths I bought the Soup starter broth from Target in the flavors Ramen, Tortilla, and Phò.

I had sleeve done on Feb. 22nd. Almost 2 weeks postop now. I am doing really well. I've lost 15 lbs. as of today I am over the full liquids though. I go to the dr on Wed for follow up and pray I can move on to soft foods.

6 days post op. Doing great! Going back to work tomorrow.

I do the vitamin patches suggested by my doc.

Hello I’m new here I had my surgery 2-20 and I got a sleeve done

Recovery is going okay. No nausea or dizziness thankfully. Managed to get 33 ounces of Clear Liquids in yesterday. I am post Op day 5. Struggling with Protein only because after 2 ounces I am stuffed. My taste hasn't changed so far Everything I tried sits well. Also. I can drink any temperature. So hopeful

I don’t know that I’m really getting a full sensation yet, but possibly that’s due to pacing my liquids? I was discharged on full liquids so I’m just constantly sipping, break for a minute or two, repeat , right now.

I’ve had no trouble with getting liquids or Protein. Right now I’m aiming for Water all the time, 2 Protein Shakes, and a yogurt. Yesterday I also had a miso Soup. Negligent protein but was a nice change. I can have creamy Soups but I don’t really want any rn.

My surgery date was 2/20. I’m trying to focus on Water and Protein. How’s everything going with you?

Hey! I just scheduled my surgery date and I got to schedule it the day I was hoping! February 21st.
Anyone else have a February surgery date??
Maybe we can help each other!

I hear you on the Protein drinks! Last night I was having a strawberry one and I could barely stand it it was so sweet!
I am mostly a back sleeper, and sometimes roll on my side when restless. I was surprised to wake up on my stomach!

I’m so ready to go home! Pain is minimal, I’m voiding appropriately. Bahhh

5 Days post op and feeling pretty good! I'm weak and a bit lightheaded in the morning until I can get enough Protein in. Had my first BM yesterday (sorry if TMI, but I figure after we've been through that shouldn't offend anyone LOL) Gas is slowing coming out. Woke up this morning surprised to find myself sleeping on my stomach. No nausea at all. I've barely been able to meet my protein and liquid goals, but it requires sipping all day long. The only thing is a persistant sharp stitch like cramp on my left side. Hiccups hurt like the devil LOL. How is everyone else progressing?

It gets easier by the day to meet the protein/liquid goals. Hang in there!
Tomorrow, I'll be at 3 weeks post-op and returning to work on Thursday. Went to the gym twice now and was slow, but steady, on the treadmill. It's been night and day from the first week to the third. Feeling so much better.

Surgery today was fine. Sore, tired and thirsty.hardest thing is going slow on the liquids.

My surgery date was today. Currently in hospital first day already got in 4 ounces of Water. Pain not horrible slight gas pain. Feeling hopeful.

What did you feel like the night you had surgery to 2 days post op?
Anybody feel discomfort? Does it feel like you're swallowing air when you drink anything or eat yogurt/jello? I'm feeling this. I'm going to tell my surgeon in the morning when he checks in. I hope it's a normal feeling. It definitely feels restricted. Hopefully all I'm feeling is gas...gas that won't come, just tiny burps. I'm scared to eat Jello and yogurt, I only took a few bites. I was so scared.

My surgery was 2/13/23 … I am excited for all you guys 👍🏻

I made chicken breast with black bean in my crockpot. Blended it all up and froze in ice cube trays. This way, I can pop one in with Soup broth or a veggie blend and not have to plan so much.

The dietitian shared that I could mix my Protein Drink as a Creamer for Decaf coffee in the morning and mix to thin out my Greek yogurt. This helped me. I was okay with the shakes occasionally before having the surgery. Now I am tired of them. They do offer the unflavored Protein Powder to mix in Soups.
It'll be better once you move into the pureed stage. You're half way there!

I am 13 days post op and I can tell you it does get easier! I didn't make my fluids or Protein goals at all until about 4 days ago and I've been able to make both (barely!) If i concentrate on it. This is also with me going back to work last week as well so hang in there!

I ❤️ home made Soup so I stockpiled a bunch before my surgery in the freezer. All some variation of a roasted vegetable, Bone Broth, 1 can of coconut milk and seasoning. I’ve got carrot ginger, sweet potato, butternut, cauliflower, and white bean with artichoke and spinach. I love them all regularly, just blended them more and a little more watery consistency. Today is the first day I can have them and I’m really excited. I may not feel the same way after a month 🤣. A little harder to calculate the Protein content. I plan to make a roasted red pepper, black bean, and celery bisque when I’m feeling a little better.

I'm getting sick of the Protein Shakes, they're definitely too sweet 😭 I could get unflavored Protein Powder to put in broths, but im not sure yet. Ahh I'm craving cheese

I'm 5 days post op now and I also felt really weak and light headed. I think cause I slept in too long. I felt much better after taking some deep breaths. It's really hard to get all of my requirements in and I'm kind of worried about what would happen if I can't get it figured out. I need at least 64 ounces of fluids, 60 to 80 grams of Protein and up to 1200 calories. Ahhh! I have Bariatric Fusion complete chewable vitamins and for bypass I need to get 4 or those in a day. I only got one today (I know if I got up earlier I'd have met that goal). Tomorrow is a new day and my son goes back to school so I'll be getting up earlier and hopefully I'll be able to get everything in. I'm gonna try to track things again. How does everyone get things in for the day? It seems hard.

Surgery was 2/23, and I was feeling pretty good and getting my specialty Water in, even 4 oz each day of home made Bone Broth. I somehow missed the clear Protein options however and today I’ve been super weak and light headed. Managed 3 oz of yogurt and protein drink with 42 grams. Finally got in a shower and now I’m exhausted. It’s a beautiful day today and I was hoping to take a little walk, but I’m not going to get far at all! How is everyone else the first week post op?
