I do feel a little hungry - not really like I want to go eat, my stomach kind of gurgles like I'm hungry. Soon we'll get to eat real food!

My hunger kicks in after 9pm. My doctor told me to skip the purée/soft food stage and to start adding one food at a time. It's what I've been waiting for, but, I'm taking it easy.

I've been doing shakes and some soft foods. I get hungry, but it doesn't take much to fill me up. Otherwise, I feel great and already my feet don't hurt anymore!

Wow feeling good today...spent half the day working outside...walking and moving works best for me..I have tried the vegetable chips and they gave me the crunch I crave and dissolve quick and nothing bad for me....I just need a water bottle strapped to me...can't wait till Thursday to tell my Dr how good I am doing...wished I weren't so bloated...if I were a parade balloon (and I feel like one) I would be angry bird...

I am not allowed to eat anything soft until my visit on thursday, What are vegetable chips? I have been feeling good, just a little sore around my hernia repair. The walks I have been taking feel good! Not so out of breath. I hope everyone has a great day!

I am doing surprisingly well but I am having a horrible time trying to get all my liquids in. I feel so full so fast and it lasts. I have been trying to supplement with sugar free popscicles when I can just to get more liquids in. I am so ready to be off liquids and get to even mushy food. I weighed this weekend and was down 16lbs. I am thrilled. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Glad to know everyone is doing great. This is a work in progress. I can eat food but not craving it. Sticking with liquids because I know I won't vomit.

I've not vomited. I eat much more slowly than I used to, but sometimes it's still not slow enough I think. I end up with the sensation of pressure in my chest sometimes. Funny how that happens.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
