I Am 2 Days Post Op!

Finally on the other side!!!!!!. Had my sleeve tuesday morning. Surgery went smoothly....I stayed overnight and after passing the test (nasty liquid) was able to have liquids and some mooshy food for lunch, which was basically 1 tablespoon of mashed chicken and was cleared to leave at 5 pm

.Making sure to take my pain meds every 4-6 hours and gas relief when needed. I had 1 scrambled egg for breakfast ate it very slowly, lost 7 lbs from Monday looking forward to a new me!!!!!!

Wow, you are allowed to have mushy foods already? You are lucky! I am 14 days out & still not on mushies. My Dr says 22 days I can start. Pure torture!

Glad everything went so smooth though!

Its interesting how each dr or group has their own policy with food. I sure am glad that they start with mush I could hardly take the clear liquids pre-op diet. They want us to have between 45 and 60 grams of protein a day. I definitly didnt have that much the first day but I'm working my way up slowly.

Ihad my sleeve on Monday morning as well had the swallow test on tuesday morning and was cleared for full liquid. I have done fine, not too much pain and I haven't had any truble with eating the soft foods. Not sure if I've lost anything, my stomach is really swollen.

Congrats! I had surgery on May 16th and still on liquids with protein shakes. Can't wait till next week to start Mushies!!

Im starving!! Maybe I should take a few sips of protein drinks. Only clear liquids pop sickles and broth. Had my surgery the 23rd..
