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!!
