Thank you for posting that and the TMI stuff. I really like how you broke down what you experienced each day. I want to do something similar when I get there in October/November :)

Amazing post with great detail. This is very helpful for all of us new sleevers. Good to know what is to come and great to know someone else is experiencing the same things at the same times. Very neat, thank you

Lou I truly loved reading your post and I am impressed that you kept track of how you felt each day! I wish I had done that because I am already "fuzzy" about the details and you and I were sleeved within a few days of each other. Take care of your self and enjoy how you look in those skinny jeans!! :D

I so needed to read this post today!! I am two weeks post op and I had lost 10 pounds my first week after surgery and I got on the scale today and have only lost 2 pounds in my second week post op. I'm also so sick of drinking Protein Shakes that a few times this week I didn't eat my evening shake because I just didn't want to, I wasn't hungry and was just sick of it, not that I can't get it down because I can, just didn't want it and I think thats probably bad! So I was feeling alittle frustrated, but after reading this I'M NOT GONNA STRESS about it!! I go to the doctors on Thursday and can't wait to get on the messy diet. Thank you so much for posting this!!

I am really glad you broke it down into days and good/bad points. It makes it so much easier for us pre-Sleevers to understand the emotional and physical journey post op!

Congrats on your loss and keep up the good work!

:cheer2:

Enjoyed your post!

I am one week out tomorrow. I have been home since Friday and am feeling pretty good. I am excited to say that I just finished 1/2 an egg scrambled soft with a little cheddar and it went down really good. I am drinking my Protein shakes(maybe 3oz at a time) 4 or 5 times a day. I have also tried yogurt, applesauce, malt o meal, chicken broth with a few noodles and mashed potato with garlic salt. I am looking forward to being 30 days out like you.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
