Hey all.

It seems a lot of us were done on the same day. I would like to know who all was done on Dec. 29....just for the fun of it and so we can compare notes since we are all the same day post op.

HI Chi-chic here,

I was sleeved in Chicago on 12/29/09. Regretted it the first day due to anesthesia related paralyzing nausea. Second day and beyond I am sailing through getting better everyday with walking, Protein, getting out the house etc.

I know wingrider and barbarann were also done on that day and I know there are others too. Maybe we will hear from them soon. How is the gas sit w you? I have it everytime I dring anything. Do you get to go on full liquids Tues? I am looking forward to that!

Hi all, was sleeved on the 29th as well, of course regretted doing it the first few days, but now being 6 days out feel better except for one annoying incision which really bugs me when i cough or sneeze, but that too shall pass. . . it's not infected just sore. . . still on clear liquids until Tuesday, then start mushies (can't wait), no nausea here at all. . . only problem was REALLY swollen belly. . . looked major pregnant! That was not attractive at all . . .

I just went to wal mart and I am pooped! Are you having a problem w energy? I ws shopping for stuff to start eating Tues. I found protein water packets to add to bottles of water. They are only 5g of protein but as long as I am sipping, I may as well be getting some protein, right? I got the strawberry kiwi. I think it is by Kellogs. I like it.

What ideas do ya;ll have for eating on Tues?

As mentioned already I was done on the 29th, hopefully there will be another guy or two so I can have some comparative information.

If you are checking back in to this forum, I am about to post an easy cream of broccoli soup that I think we can eat tomorrow. It is easy to make and pretty high in proteins. It will be under the recipe sharing.

I was sleeved on the 29th! I weighed myself for the first time today and can't believe it! I have just moved onto full liquids. Once I stop feeling so panicky about "am I doing it wrong?" or "am I going to get a leak?" I will be in a way better place. But it's going really well so far!

How is everyone? It seems like some of us have been moved along at different rates as far as our diets. I get to start mushies Tues. So far grits have given me the most problem. I fill up on them really fast. How are you doing on your protiens?

Hi sorry I have been a little MIA. Trying to take care of little things, because I go back to work on wed 1/13/10 after my 2 week post-op visit.

Energy: not that bad, I have been going to the gym for a 30 min treadmill walk (i live in the frigid midwest) after that I need a nap, but overall I feel great!. End of the day I am tired and sleep good, but during the day is ok.

Food: I move to soft solid foods this wed. I have been on pureed consistency since I left the hospital. I still seem to have to have a Protein shake daily to make my 60-75 grams. Hopefully that will change once I move to soft solids and can have more chicken. I do get real full on a few spoonfuls of food, so that may present a challenge when the food is more solid/dense.

gas: still burp alot, I think this is how I have to judge full. More need to burp as I fill up.

weight: I lost a lot that first week 14 over the first few days, then my monthly came and gained 2 back, now i'm down another 4 for a total of 16 lbs since surgery.

Just my little update. Please let me know how its going for everyone else.

Wow that is good. I have not gotten in that much protein yet. Today is the best I have done and so far I have only gotten in 38 grams. I feel like I have to try to eat all the time to get it in. Am I the only one not getting enought protein?
