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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
