For all the new sleevers hang on and have hope. The first three weeks for me were the worst . It hurt to drink and to eat . I was depressed hit a stall last week that I still haven't came off of but it's ok. This weekend has been the best I've felt since surgery . I was able to have a selection of foods although in small amounts I had watermelon and seafood salad with crackers, I even ate a salad On a down note I am completly lactose intolerant but it's ok. O yeah I had one egg with provolone cheese and salsa and it was yummy . I hope this encourages someone who having a difficult time transitioning By the way I've lost 39 pounds in a month down 3 dress sizes ))

Thats great Im only 1 week out op was a breeze Im scared I wont be able to eat again as Im not hungry even having Soup I have to force myself.Weight is also dropping off.I luv seafood salad.

Take care

Yes...this definitely helps me! I am just shy of 3 weeks out, and so tired of pudding and yogurt and soup and protein drinks, I can't see straight!! I know that there is light at the end of the full-liquid tunnel, but it really helps to hear it again. Thanks!!

Congrats to you jules58. Best of luck to you

Hang in there Red597. They say all the swelling in your stomache goes away at 4 weeks and that's no lie . Brighter days are right around the corner!

Congrats on the weight loss

Thank you

Congrats to you KinnymomX3! This was a very encouraging post!

Continue pressing forward.

Work it out girl! I am 3 weeks post op myself. with the 2 week pre surgery I'm down 52 pounds in 5 weeks. I am praying that week 4 will heal my stomach more. It has been "finicky" to say the VERY least...but I knew that this came with it. I go back to work tomorrow and spent this evening trying to find clothes to fit...since I kept it all..I had to go back 3 years in the walkin to find some that fit, which is a very good feeling.

I pray the swelling goes down...I am tired of eating the same things over and over!

You are inspiring me!!

Thank you. I'm quickly getting to the end of my rope. Day 9, 5 more days of clear liquids.

I screaming....Hang in there. My body is sore becuase I ran a mile today it took 35 minutes and some spots of power walking but I did it. I told my husband I'm in a pivotal place in the WLS the first stall. I said the first 39 was easy but the next 39 are one me and I'm going to get it We should all be proud of the steps we are taking to be healthier people

Lovin the updates you guys are giving as I will join the losers bench on Wednesday

How long before you ate tomatoe soup??

How long before you ate tomatoe soup??

I was able to eat tomato soup one week post-op. I took a can of Progresso Hearty Tomato, watered it down as per my NUTs instructions, and also added grated parmesan, then put it all in the blender until there were no chunks. It was the first thing I ate after being graduated from Clear liquids and it was sooooo good!

Thanks for that. I'm at week 3 1/2 and frustrated, getting sick more often, etc. I'm really glad to hear I should see the light soon. Thanks Kinnymom!
