I was sleeved on August 19th as well. How long are you on liquids? Hopefully it will be over tomorrow or soon? It took me a while to get more than 2 shakes down in one day- in fact today is the first day I've managed to do so.

I'm on liquids until Sept 3. I have an appointment with my doctor next Thursday and I hope he tells me I can start the next stage. I honestly haven't had one shake since I've been home, I am making sure I am eating yogurt high in Protein though, I've got to try to stomach my shakes!!!

My surgery was 8/22 and I've not worried too much about Protein yet. shakes didn't agree with me before and My sleeve is very picky. I'm worrying about healing it. BUT I am starving to death!!! Today was the first day It really truly bothered me to see my family have pizza while I had jello....... My dr has you do a CLEAR liquid diet for a week.... the full liquids for a week.... then pureed for a week.... then soft foods for two weeks.....then food!!!!!! that's a long time without real food....but it is a great chance to jump ahead with weight loss....

Hey guys! I was just sleeved on 8/27, I was only on Clear Liquids in the hospital, but now I'm on full liquids for three weeks, smooth foods for two weeks and then soft foods for two weeks. Then I get real food :-) it is going to be a long time especially since I was on a two week shake diet only pre op. so anyway. I'm feeling pretty good, the gas really sucks and it hurts A LOT, but I'm sure it will be done soon too! Good luck all!

My surgery was August 26, 2013. I've been on Protein Shakes and crystal light for the first few days. I see my doctor tomorrow for my first post-op visit. Life on the shakes (muscle milk lite, etc. has so far been doable. I am supposed to sip four one oz cups each hour. So far I start the day on the Protein shakes and leave the crystal light for the afternoon. Never thought I would love my chewable vitamins -- only thing I chew these days. I savor them as if they were treats.

      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!!
