I am so excited that my insurance approved me and I'm set for June 11th. However I'm freaking out a little bit because now it's like HOLY CRAP it's REALLY HAPPENING!

Any other June Sleevers around? Any words of encouragement or advice?

I drank three 8 oz protein shakes (under an hour on each), two 8 oz chicken broths (Unjury protein), and several SF Popsicles over the course of today. Each is allowed per my surgeon, but I don't think I'm expected to consume 8 ozs at a time. I burp a little but it feels like it slides right through my stomach. No other drinking close before or for a half hour after. I don't feel like I'm putting any pressure on my sleeve. Too much for 3 days out?

I'm the same as you! I have no problem drinking anything. I take small sips, but don't need to wait long in between sips. I usually finish my protein shake in 10-15 minutes.

I go to see my doctor tomorrow. I'm liquided out of my mind! ????

I am 13 days out and I am on soft food, puréed. I can drink just fine but eating eggs and cheese just makes my stomach hurt. Everything else seems to be ok.

Refried beans and cheese. I want to eat it all day long. Lol. Feeling great. I hope everyone is doing well.

If you mix together 1 egg and a half a tablespoon of LF cottage cheese and then scramble it, it is amazing! Full of protein and soooo delicious!

I'm going to try that tommorow. Thanks

So funny, I never was a big cottage cheese fan , but now I crave it constantly. Protein shakes, cottage cheese, & Oikos Triple Zero have become my staples. Had small spinach salad with tomato for dinner, was so surprised how quickly I filled up. So far it's sitting well.

I'm so scared to try a salad or fibrous veggies right now. Are yall handling them well?

No veggies or fruit for me. Soft foods only

I was sleeved on the 30th and I'm on the mend. I was struggling with nausea and gas initially but now I feel like my large incision has been stretched. Anyone else have that problem? It's pretty painful

When was your surgery? I am one week out. When were you able to start eating eggs?

poached eggs are great. I was 14 days until eggs also.

I cannot wait to eat eggs! I'm so liquided out of my mind! ????

Today went to dr for first post surgery check. My surgery was June 29 and I already lost 30% of my excess body weight. Next week I start pureed food and I am really looking forward to beans and cheese.

On the 10th of July I will be 1 month post op, and I feel great, I had BBQ for the first time yesterday, steak, shrimp, sausage, the cool part is I ate 2 bites of the sausage, 2 of the 3 med Shrimp, and 3 oz if the steak, and I was full!!!!!!!, this is an awesome change for me and I utilize the sleeve with what I've learned, a typical Sunday breakfast would have been 2 eggs, 6 pieces of bacon and 8 tortillas, today it was 1 egg, half a sausage, and 1 slice of 7 grain bread, and I left 1/4 piece of the bread and 1/2 a sausage, and I always remove the plate and yell I'm done just to re-affirm it to myself, I actually find it harder with drinks, I'm craving things like Energy drinks, my coffee, and yesterday I wanted a beer so bad( I always limited myself to 1 or 2 after college), I'm still researching the alcohol thing, too many varying opinions, even a couple of theories that some wine is good for you after gastric! We will see

Hey laguerr13 my sleeve brother form another surgeon!???? lol. I am so happy to hear how awsome you've been doing I always like reading your post because you really make sence and you keep it real. Mostly cause we were renewed on the same date June 10th! I wish I could say im doing as well with my eating like you seem to be doing. My issue is that I can not tolerate meat at all and believe me I have tried very lean chicken breast, thighs, Beef in several diffrent cuts from tri tip, to T- bone and beyond. Fish ive had sword fish and salmon shrimp and crab meat and even sardines. I have never been a big meat eater to begin with but now since we have to chew our food so thouroghly I have been experiencing this weird thing where I begin to get a mental picture of the meat Im eating and I begin to breakdown it down in my head the texture,the fibereous meat,the layers of fat and the veins and blood even by the time Im done chewing my food (Im sorry TMI) in gaging and can barely swollow what Ive just chewed up! I try not to think about it,i try to distract my thought but I just get so grossed out by meats no matter how its prepared. My fear is that I will never be able to eat meats again and enjoy them. Another thing Im having issues with is im very sensative to certain scents and odors. I cant stand the smell of very strong spices or fried foods cigaretts and for a while a lot of things smelled like onions or vinager to me but no one else!! Its really kind of weird! But to end this on a possative note I have lost 33 lbs since surgery my presurgery weight was 235 and today I weigh 203 lbs I feel great and starting to look pretty good!
