    Don't freak out, this I only temporary. Before you know it your stomach will be able to tolerate all and any foods. For these few fragile months when you can only eat bites if food at a time, embrac

  • Hi, oh man that doesnt sound too good. I am sorry your feeling like this, but isnt this what you opted for? I think this is the thought behind this surgery to not be able to eat. I havent went for

Every dr is different and it's important to check and see how your dr wants you to progress. I had to do all liquids for the first week then started eating regular food provided I chewed it up very well. But some drs want you on liquids for several weeks first. So check with your dr or NUT first before you decide to progress on your own.

I was only on clear liquids while in the hospital. My surgeon wanted me on full liquids for 1 week and progress to soft/purée foods for another 1-2 weeks and slowly transition to regular food as tolerated. I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow and still stick to a lot of soft foods. I have so much restriction that I can't wait until I can get more than 2-3 bites in before I'm full! My surgeon says it will get a little bit easier within the next month or two.

I'm 5 days post op. I was clear liquids in the hospital then full liquids when I came home. Full liquids until 2 weeks then purée.

I was sleeved april 3rd I'm 4 week post op.. I promise it gets better..I am currently on puree foods and I graduated to solids in a week. What really helped me get through the begining was keeping busy and have a variety of liquids and broths and icepops. What you guys are feeling is completly normal. I was a wreck in the begining. The reward of the weigtloss is what has kept me motivated and on track. Also remembering why you did this in the first place is a huge factor. Hang in there it will get easier.

Surgery was April 23rd ... same feeling ... lbut i hope it gets better.I have been trying different soups and even hot cereals.. but my issue is ..i feel like eating a cup of soup....is alot shouldn't that be too much for a 1 week post op ???..need help

Same depressed emotional feelings here. Im one week post op today. NO ONE tells or prepares you for these first few weeks. My guess is some folks who get this surgery are more strong willed than others. I see some who make it look so easy. Makes me mad that im not one of them! :/

I had my surgery 4/24 I want to eat food how long do u wait to eat mashed patatos ?

Mashed potatoes are empty calories. Go for something Protein packed like cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Warm low fat or non fat ricotta cheese seasoned with a butter substitute like mash potatoes is a nice alternative.

To the rest of the newborns out there, it really does get easier pretty quick. The most important thing you need to do is adjust your attitude because Attitude is Everything! You can't go back from here you can only move forward. You seriously need to stop asking "what did I do to myself?!" And start saying, "I am strong and I can do this! I am leaving that miserable life behind me! That's why I did this!!" It isn't that some of us are stronger willed, it's easier for us because we have made THE CHOICE to look at things from a positive perspective. You made a courageous choice to take control and get your life back. Don't let something as insignificant as a little hunger stand in your way! We have a saying at our support group, "NOTHING tastes as good as THIN FEELS!!" Hang in there! YOU are worth it!!!! Best to you!

Thank you for your encouragement :)

Well put. I too hit that wall and then turned a corner. I am not strong by any means. I wouldn't be in this situation if I was. YOU CAN DO IT

I was sleeved on 4.16 the first week / two weeks sucks. The first week is the worst. I had these same thoughts. They get better as you can eat more things. I did clear liquids first week. Full the second week and now on mushy like yams CBS mashed potatoes. Monday I can eat more real food like eggs sloppy joes and lunch meat!

I soooo agree with you!!! The mental part of this is so much harder than I ever could have imagined!!! I'm 2 weeks out of surgery. It's getting a little easier each day, as long as I keep myself busy!!! Keep my mind occupied! I'm so thankful that this app was recommended to me! I now know that I'm not the only one that regretted doing this! But watching the numbers on the scale go down reminds me why I did it!!!
