Congradz! Yes I'm always shrinking and excited for that. Craving food like steak <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> you having any strange cravings? I know im far far away from having that with all the food stages. I bet our tummies feel tight or something because of swelling? I really just feel sore type pains now

I was sleeved on 7/30 and am also craving meat of any kind. I want to devour a steak or chicken breast! Well, that and Mac and cheese, oh no!

The funny thing is there are things that "sound good" but I am not dying to get them. Before surgery however I wanted to jump through the tv screen anytime a commercial came on for food :)

I am going to admitthat I have experimented with softfoods already. I am on a 2 week liquid and was dying. I was intaking 90 oz of Fluid (no joke - oncluding the shakes and soup) and 60 grams of Protein and was having hunger. I had a movie date with my nephews and they wanted Chinese. The lady did not charge me. I ate broth, a small piece of crab, a small puece of chicken, and a quarter of a small chicken meatball. And I felt Full. Satisfied full. No pains, no discomfort. Just blessed relief! Lol. And it was not enough to keep a baby alive! Lol. I chewed everything into a pulp and everything was super soft. I have been reading this forum and some people sleeved only days before us are on soft foods already. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

PS: hummus and mac n cheese would e amazing!

Did every one on here get sleeved on 7/31?? And your eating regular food? ?? I am still on liquids and some puréed food.

I was sleeved 7/30. Week 1 Clear Liquids, week 2 - 3 full liquids, week 4 puréed and week 5 soft foods. To be honest though I am considering bumping up puréed to week 3 and softs to week 4. I feel like a rebel but am struggling on liquids. It appears surgeons are so different. I'm not wanting to fight the system, just want to feel normal.

My hospital's program is over-cautious (their own words) so two weeks post-op is liquids. I have been on liquids for a time before surgery too so I think that caused my need to experiment. Plus, I would bot recommed it if you are not etting plenty of fluids and Protein as is.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
