I am one week out today. I have already lost some weight, but I am struggling. I feel like I CAN NOT take another drop of soup. I am on full liquids now, but I don't know what else to have besides soup and protein shakes. I am losing my mind! My parents are right now eating grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. :drool5: I don't know if I can make it another couple / few weeks till I can maybe begin to eat food again. This is really hard. Help! :Cry:

Okay how is this? Going to bed now I have an early flight...you guys take care and I will see you soon!

wASSa and Eyfura can you change your font for these old eyes PLEASE too small have trouble reading it

THANK YOU

I did not change my font, it's standard VST font. I have a hunch it is your settings vs. my font.

I am 8.5 months out and still struggle at times. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself and dont regret it for 1 minute. There will always be challenges. You just need to be strong and you will get through it. :lol0::thumbup:

I had a lot of problems the first month I was sleeved. Like some of you have mentioned, it was a real struggle for me to get anything down, liquids, mushies, anything. And whatever I took in made me very nauseous. I was severely dehydrated and ended up in the hospital several times on IV liquids. However, once I got past the first month, things improved drastically. I am now able to eat without feeling ill. While I cannot guzzle drinks, I can take fairly large drinks now without a problem. I am one of the ones that now says other than only being able to take in small amounts of food, I can't tell I have had the surgery, which is wonderful. Give it time, like WASa said, you are probably experiencing a bit more swelling that hasn't gone down yet. Once it does and you get past the first month or so, you should feel much better.
