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

I had my surgery an 6/27 and can finally eat a mashed egg for breakfast!! My liquid Breakfast was one of my Protein shakes that I would Water down because they are too sweet for my taste. 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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
