Hello,

My (Lela) story began in August 2013, I began taking a product called Plexus Slim, the product was awesome, but I was not happy with the results, So I began searching info on the gastric sleeve. In Jan of 2014 I began the process for surgery, soaked in all the info that I could find, started going to the gym on a daily basis, participating in a couple of classes (Water aerobics, body combat) along with walking on the treadmill for 45 min, also strength building with weights,

So here I am 5 days out of Surgery and I feel great, thanking God for no nausea, I honestly feel like I could take a hike up a mountain, I am just concerned that I need to be doing something else, not sure what! I am eating Jellos sugar free, popsicles sugar free creamy Soups, is there anything that someone could suggest as for Breakfast?

Surgery Date was 7/7/14 (could not get any better than that)

Dr. James Redmann was my surgeon

Hospital: Southern Surgical

Its only for a short time but I am glad to have other options!! Hang in there, you'll be eating pureed foods before you know it!!!

@HealthyandSlimmer - you are late to the ballgame - the OP posted her surgery over 3 years ago!! (You have 4 posts under your belt and comment on an oldie.)

And even if this is true - you should cite a link to the proof.

      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!!
