I had my gastric sleeve on Halloween. I am pretty damned hungry on this Liquid diet. I have one more full day before I can go to full liquids, which I will be on for 2 weeks, and then pureed for 2 weeks..How is everyone else doing? I am down 8 pounds since surgery.

pre-op here, but I'm pretty jealous of your most awesome surgery date ever!

how are you feeling? are you back to work yet?

No. Not even close to going back...I had my overgrown spleen removed as well...may be 8 weeks.

I too was sleeved on Halloween. When I checked in early that morning, I noticed that pretty much everyone was wearing a costume. The pre-op nurse explained however, that they (everyone working pre-op, surgery, or recovery) had been told that they weren't allowed to wear angel or devil costumes!!! LOL

I'm down a little over 5 lbs since I had surgery, but I8 lbs total since I started my pre-op on 10/11.

I have two more weeks of liquids and am doing fine. I'm not hungry and I'm able to drink as much as I want. I feel great, I'm walking twice a day for 20-30 minutes, and I'm even sleeping pretty well!!

So far, so good.....

I was moved a few days because of Sandy but had surgery on Friday. I am doing great. Down a total of 20 pounds since pre-op and just discovered a heating pad helps a LOT with the gas and bloating! Otherwise, no complaints switching to full liquids today and fell good minus a little energy and still some soreness and bloating.
