HI Everyone, I'm new here...was sleeved on 9/9/13....had horrible gas the first two days post op but by morning of day three i had no more gas...I never had any pain except during coughing so after gas was gone I needed no further pain med...my food allowance and progression is 1st week-clear liquids, 2nd week full liquids, 3rd week soft/puree, 4th week regular texture no bread, pasta, for 1st 4-6 months.... so Im on full liquids which includes greek yogurt, hot cereal, pudding, milk, protein shakes,etc,,,so far so good for me, I belch way more than I ever did, and I'm finally able to drink and get at least 32 ounces and get all my protein in. taking my supplements is another story, Im having a hard time getting the pills down.. they get stuck while trying to go down and it burns and causes nausea. today was the first day I had no burning and got the pills down while taking continuous sips....I've decided to weigh myself weekly. started pre-op surgery day 237 and upon leaving hospital I was 5lbs down, one week later 10 lbs down. I'll weigh myself again. on 9/23. im excited about my journey though i must admit , I cant wait to have some textured food....please discuss your experiences...Im excited to hear about others

Hello

I had my surgery on 8-27-13. I called It a birthday gift lol. My birthday was 8-30. So I know I can't eat Popeye chicken strips and peaches. I found out I can eat stick pretzels and humus so delicious. I'm so happy I had the surgery.

I was sleeved on 8/28 but I am not brave enough to try Popeyes chicken lol although its one of my faves. I would like to try true naked strips but I think I will wait a few more weeks.

Hi Blessing,

I am neck and neck with you. Had my procedure done on 9.11.13. I weighed 268 a week before surgery 262 the morning of surgery and 253 at my 1st post op appointment Tuesday! I had some gas and I too had very little pain. I awoke with severe nausea but after lots of antiemetics, it went away and as not come back.

Interesting how the post op diets are different, I was on clears for 1st 3 days, then full liquids until yesterday when I started the "blended" diet. It was hard the first day but I have gotten help from my mom finding foods to blend. (have had tilapia, cauliflower, sweet potato, eggs, and beans) Look forward to losing with ya!!

Yes wait it's not worth the pain. Needless to say lesson learned lol

Nice to hear about others... I'm having difficulty navigating so any tips will help me... I wish every one the best... Lets keep in touch... How do you friend others?
