I thought I would kick off the fun for August Sleevers! So here we go!!

I am scheduled for Monday August 19th! Let the countdown begin!!

Yay! For August 27th.......That's my date too! Good luck everyone. :tongue2:

Thanks' date=' but I thought I was suppose to do the clear liquid for a week before the puréed food...didn't know that I could start it as early as day Four...maybe I could give it a try then, I just didn't want to move to fast...[/quote']

Your nut/surgeon should have given you rules for eating post op and you should follow them and not what others here say as we are all so different. I definitely can not eat puréed at 4 days out.

Thanks Angie, I was looking at the notebook from my nut that said within a week I could have puréed foods, but this is only day four so it said within a week wondering does that mean seven days or within this week...I wish I had someone I could speak with today but don't think that is possible on Sat unless I call the hospital and speak with the nursing staff that cared for me...

Within the wk means you can start within the 7 days, its up to you really when you feel ready, i, m a uk sleever and as angie said there are alot of different diets on here, i, ve seen so many variations, its not that any are wrong just different drs have different diets, my puried is mainly soups anyway, everything has to be soft foods, I only manage 3 tablespoons pet meal and i, m full. Protien will make you feel fuller longer and I add powdered milk to mine for the protien. Goodluck finding what works for you :-) x

Thanks, I am just going to speak with the nursing staff to see what I should do.....when I had to do my pre op I was never hungry cause I was able to do shakes and soup, and protein juice drinks...but now I am just doing clear liquids and although I add protein I am still starving....thought maybe it was acid been popping gas x strips not doing the trick so IMA just speak to the staff cause this can't go on....did I mention my family has not been a big help the day I came home from the hospital my husband got Chinese on the way home... The next day my mom came to visit and because she knows I am the main Cook in the house she brought some food so my family could have like chicken salad, to bags of powdered donuts, crispy creams, a whole homemade pineapple upside down cake from scratch, and yesterday they had pizza and bread sticks...let's just say TODAY I am starting to get aggravated.... We will have to have a talk later on....

Oh an sorry people but I just needed a outlet really just had to vent...

I am so ready for Tuesday.. My bag for the hospital is for the most part packed, fridge and freezer is full for the kids while I'm in the hospital, and letters wrote to everyone just in case something happens.. I don't think I'm forgetting anything.. I know I'm doing the right thing for me but part of me wonders what my kids are gonna do if something happens to me..they are only 8 & 6

Hi everyone, had my sleeve done on August 15th. I'm one week out of the hospital today. I have had a hard time but I am sure I will make it through this rough patch

There's so many people going in on the 27th. You know this is gonna be our lucky day! 3 more days!

There really is! I think we should start an 8/27 thread or group or something.
