I was so sleeved 10/8 and loose or rather liquid bms started wed for me too. Im getting in at least 55 oz liquid daily trying for at least 64 but havent made it yet. I am still having liquid bms today...several times a day. Like just about every time i go pee. I hope it will get better when we progress to puree. My bariatric coordinator told me to expect this during preop teaching. Liquid in=liquid out lol

My bms are still liquid too and i was sleeved 8 oct 10. Glad to hear im not alone.

Im two weeks out and i was watching tv. I picked up a lime and ate it without thinking. For a moment i forgot i was not supposed to eat any solids. I know what you might be thinking. My husband was eating at the coffee table next to me and he had some lemons. How bad is it to eat a lemin only two weeks out. I can hear my stomach rumble but nothing else.

I am going thru it with hunger.... I just want to eat some real food...even if it is tuna salad.... I have a hubby and two young kids to cook dinner for and its so had not to try a lil piece of what they are eating....its so frustrating I want to scream...I thought my hunger hormone was gone? They ordered pizza hut last night and I decided to go nap so I would watch them eat but I smelled it and had a lil dream about a slice of pep pizza :(...I have 5 more days of full liquids then I can go to soft foods...I just don't wanna look at another Protein Shake again....sorry I'm just being real...I had to vent!!!

What are you drinking Tiffani? Have you tried broth or something with electrolytes like gatorade? Water tends to be so hard for me to drink for some reason but I've been forcing myself to drink it.

Had my surgery October 2 and Im feeling great! My tummy feels awesome and I'm on soft food now ( doctor said it was ok) everything is going down really well. Honestly chew chew chew is the best advice I can give and wait 3 to 5 minutes between chews. It works for me. I lost 30 pounds so far! I'm very happy I did this and I hope that my recovery keeps going as well as it has;)

I just noticed that you're only a couple of days post op. It will get easier over time. I was struggling to get in fluids also but now it's gotten easier. Just give it time :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
