Just startung and have questions already!

I just got sleeved on 02/11/2013. I am already tolerating soft foods and have not thrown up at all. Actually everything seems to be going really perfect except for some issues with gas but that is getting better. I started this whole thing at 217 lbs and I'm 5'6" and 28 years old. When I went in for surgery I was down to 205. I am a week and a day out and I am already down to 195. So I think thins are going well. I have read through some posts on here and they are kinda scary! So questions I have are is it normal to be able to eat anything and not have any side affects? I feel like I can do that already, I haven't had any problems so far? I would like to know how everyone else is doing and hear about complications and successes that others are going through who are fellow sleeves. I did not mention I do have pcos which is why they allowed me to have the surgery weighing what I did. I would love to talk to fellow women who have pcos and are going through the post op phase currently. Good luck to everyone!!!

Hello There! I was sleeved on the same day as you so I cannot really give you words of wisdom. There are as many good stories as there are bad ones. I haven't had much trouble either but they have me on liquids until the 27th when I see my surgeon again. Delena:)

I was sleeved on January 30th and am still not on soft foods. I had to do 2 weeks of liquids and now two weeks of purees.

I was supposed to stay on liquids too but they said I could eat yogurt so I did and I tolerated that fine so I have tried other things too, soft stuff like cottage cheese and guacamole and I've done great on them. Just can only have an extremely small amount. I mostly drink my protein. The hardest thing for me is getting the amount of fluids into me. I was never a big fluid drinker before and now it's harder, but I am trying. How are you feeling? Have you been losing? I am astonished how fast this is working. Nice to have another person who got sleeved the same day so we can be partners!

I would chalk it up to being lucky...you obviously heal fast. Don't worry about it, just be thankful! :)

I have heard that your new Timmy's nerves sometimes take awhile to heal. The only thing I would be cautious about is the serving size you are eating. Just to make sure it's appropriately small enough. Otherwise I would agree and say you are very lucky:)

I did clear liquids for 2days then full liquids for 10days. Now I am on soft foods and purees for 21 days.
