Full liquid right now (so sick of soup!!) i switch to purées on Sunday, as per the calendar for my plan.

50/50. I miss being able to eat, although I know this is temporary. I keep wondering if I should have tried harder to lose the weight myself. On the other hand, I'm excited about what's ahead for me now that I have this tool at my disposal for weight loss.

I am only getting on the scale on Sundays. Last checked, it was just under 10lbs since date of surgery.

I am interested in joining the group. Info please

I was sleeved Feb. 9th. I am experiencing some pain but it is managed with pain meds. I struggle with water and protein intake however; I am pushing through each day. I am currently eating pureed foods and soups about 4-6 Tablespoons every 4-6 hours. I have no regrets however I do miss chewing food. Since surgery, I have lost 9 lbs. Unfortunately, I have a severe case of coated tongue and I do not know why even after twice daily dental hygiene sessions. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

I was sleeved for a second and I am interested in the Facebook group.

Diane63 -- I believe this is a side effect of ketosis.

Post op visit today. Down 9.5. On to purees! I am doing surprisingly great considering that I thought life sucked just a week ago. I am getting in all liquids and proteins. I'm able to do about 45 min cardio per day.

Please add me in the February sleeves group. I was sleeved February 9th. Thank you

I'm Feb 12. I have had no problems at all. I seem to be able to get my water and protein in for the most part. Down about 10 pounds and my postop appt. isn't until March 4. I'm also interested in the Facebook group.

Doing great! Another week of full liquids. Looking forward to puréed phase.

Had surgery Feb 9th.

1. I'm feeling fantastic! No pain! Haven't taken any pain meds since the hospital. Only issue I had was the bariatric Vitamins caused me to break out in red spots, but they're gone now.

2. I get in 46g of Protein and Prob about 30oz of Water, but if you include broths etc Prob about 50oz.

3. Had my first preop diet yesterday and it went awesome! I start puréed stage on Monday! Incisions look good and he's happy with my weight loss!

5. No buyers remorse! Love my sleeve!

Not feeling too bad. The only real pain left is from a bulge under the incision on the right side of my tummy, where my stomach was removed from.

Water intake is ok but I'm having a really difficult time getting in enough Protein.
