One week ago today, I was going into the OR at this time. Despite almost, ya know, dying and such and being very very unbelievably sore at the incision sites....best choice I ever made (other than marrying Mark). I am down 10 pounds since surgery, even with all the fluids they pumped into me. I am permanently off three meds so far. Blood pressure is stable, blood sugars are normal, life is good!!

I started pureed in the hospital, never had a liquid phase. I'm eating pureed eggs, tuna, chicken. I went into diabetic kenoacidosis, high blood sugars, was put into ICU, needed three blood transfusions. But all is good now! I feel good, except for the sore tummy!

Never liquid. My surgical team doesn't believe in liquid diets. No Protein shakes. They teach us how to eat "normal" from the start. Pre-surg menu was low carb, high Protein. Today I had pureed eggs for Breakfast, pureed chicken for lunch, and pureed chicken w/ a touch of spaghetti sauce for dinner. Two Snacks of 1/2 cup milk.

I was sleeved on 11/22 as well and am experiencing a great deal of soreness. I'm also struggling to get in anywhere near all my fluids. I decided today I'd go back to chicken broth to help with getting my fluids in and that's helping. I'm hoping to hear feedback on how soon post op any of you saw the soreness start to go away and really feel better.

I was sore the first 5 days maybe... Day 7 I'm feeling great..... Still lil tired......... I don't all my fluids in either....... I can drink Water better if I put crystal light in it.... And I wasn't liking all the chicken broth so I do veg broth also...........

Thank you for your feedback... The soreness is what's getting me down more than anything... Perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel us closer than I think!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
