Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

I have and it is uncomfortable.

Some advice no one told me was about the vomiting and nauseous you feel after surgery. And the gas pains OMG!!! But it will get better with each day. Good luck!!!

That's not necessarily true, not everyone has vomiting and nausea after the surgery. I didn't and I know lots of other sleevers who didn't experience that either. Gas pains tho, different story lol

Hello my fellow Sept sleepers. I am two weeks post op and only dropped 10lbs. Is this normal? I feel my body is soo stubborn which has been my issue all my life. I am still on liquid diet and have started soft foods yet.

Hello I am on 12oz of milk and one scoop of the protein powder which is 23g.

try to drink 16 oz of water right after your protein shake

I came home yesterday, stayed 2 nights in the hospital because my nausea was so bad dehydration was a concern. I am feeling better today but hoping that I am getting enough water on my own. Will be glad when the next few weeks have passed

I think it's the milk or milk products my doc is taking me off of the shakes it gives me bad diarrhea. So I am off to Vitamin Shoppe to get the protein waters. This is a trail n error type of thing I see

Hi There, I was sleeved on Sept 6th. Weighed in at 283. Today I am 154, almost 30 lbs! I am so happy about it! My first week was really rough. I was throwing up, nauseous, and a terrible headache on day 3 and 4. Found out I wasn't having enough calories. So early people, drink your half strength juice, it's the only thing keeping you going! Also was so disgusted by the liquid diet. I was clear liquids for 2 weeks. No protein shakes. What saved me on day 5 or 6 was the suggestion by the nurse to have wonton soup without the wontons. Oh, and I made lipton noodle soup and strained it. I just love lipton noodle, it's a comfort food, so it made my psyche feel better. On my 10th day I had my doctor's appt. Down 23 lbs in those 10 days. I begged him to let me go to phase 2, moist and mushy. We compromised and he let me go to creamed soups. Split pea soup that night was like Thanksgiving dinner to me! What a relief! There are so many yummy soups I've been eating. Butternut squash, pumpkin, potato leek. All from Trader Joes. And I added the protein shakes and jello pudding. Ahhhhh, starting to feel human again. I'll be finished with phase 2 on Friday. Looking forward to biting into something!

Lots of luck to you! I was nauseous too. try to get in half juice/half water. apple and peach mango was tolerable to me but I got really tired of the sweetness after awhile. Wonton soup saved me! Good luck and let me know if I can help. the first week was really hard for me, but you can do it!!!

Sorry trying to learn how to work this thing. However as I mention before I am 1 week 3days post op. My doctor had us do a three day Juice party and from day 4-14 we are only to drink four protein shakes and 48 oz of water daily. I am always hungry and the protein shakes does nothing for me. I tried some scrambled eggs and apple sauce today couldn't get much down. But I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me. I feel like I am going crazy. Before surgery my weight went back n fourth due to the fact that I don't eat enough it was never that I ate too much. I am a snacker and would most times skip meals due to my work schedule. I really want to make this a smooth transitions but I am getting very discouraged with this weeks foods of protein shakes. Do anyone think I can have some very cooked cabbage or soups? I am dying here!!! Protein shake girl lol

Hi there, try not to be discouraged. Week one and two were hard for me too. wonton soup saved me. I also made lipton noodle soup and strained it. It felt like comfort food. I wouldn't try any food that you don't run by your doctor/nurse first. If you can have protein shakes, what about pudding or cream soups? split pea soup saved me too. Let me know how you're doing. You can do it!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I spoke to the Dietitian n she gave me some different things to try but all were Epic Fail!! So I back on liquids until tomorrow night. Thanks again
