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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
