I'm 5 days post and feeling great. Hardly no pain, i can drink or sip with hardly any pain. My dilemma is that I'm ready to start the next stage! I am so sick of Clear Liquids. Do you all think because I'm doing so well, I can start incorporating Soups? Lol or stick to the plan?

Glad to hear you are doing so well! I am 6 days post op and feeling almost normal. I definitely do not think it is a good idea to go against what your doctor has said to do. I know how you feel, I have 3 weeks of liquids. But no matter how well I feel, this is a time for our new stomach to heal. Not to mention our stomachs are still swollen from surgery!! Do not go on and put whatever you want in your mouth, the doctor really knows best! Wouldn't want you to be one of those people who ate whatever they thought they could and end up back in the hospital with a leak! Go slow, give yourself time to heal! Good luck!

I would stick to the plan until u here Different from your doctor.. Give this Staples time to heal.. You don't want to start adding extra and then you do run into a problem I think you should play it Safe. I know that I said than done

If you are talking to your surgeon tomorrow, I would suggest you stay on clear liquids until then.

I was sleeved on the 21st and they started me on full liquids on day 2 in the hospital and I had creamed soups and they brought me cream of wheat which I couldn't eat it was nasty without anything in it.

Like you said your feeling GREAT, that's because you've been following doctors orders. The old saying applies "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". U just have a little while longer. The better your tummy feels, the better it will handle food when I start introducing it. Just my thoughts.... :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
