[mochaesq 15]

That is fantastic!! I feel the milestones are going to be so special. I go for my post op on Thursday and can't wait. I feel great as well but I'm ready to get off this liquid diet. I know puréed foods aren't exciting, but I can't wait !!

Thanks Marycw1955! I have been cleared for puréed foods as of Tuesday! Good luck Thursday! Let knows know about your great success!

I have not had a full nights sleep since coming home. Today is one month post op. Not sure what's going on because I think the lack of sleep is giving me headaches. Ugh. Hopefully this will pass and we can get a restful nights sleep soon.

I had band to sleeve revision surgery last week on the 25th as well. Congratulations relentless302. I quit the liquid hydrocodone last Saturday. I've never liked pain meds. Instead I've been walking like the doctor suggested and I tried somethingon my own not sure if it'll work for you but its helped me tremendously. Ive been using a heating pad with moist heat on my tummy. It has done wonders for the soreness.....

Thanks tiffnichole76. I was a regular sleever. I am so glad I made the choice to do this. I feel so much better already. Can't wait until I'm down to my goal weight. I have 45 more pounds to go.

congrats on your surgery. liquids were not easy to get the amount they wanted for me either. Can't wait to get an update on how you are doing. The burning sensation will go away. Remember to go easy on the puréed foods. Start out very slow. That's the hardest part I've found is remembering that you have a lot smaller stomach now. I also learned that it will let you know when to stop. We are all here for you and each other.

June 4th sleever here! I'm down 23 pounds. Somehow that doesn't seem to be enough. I'm getting around 600 calories per day or less. Is this good enough??
