Just sleeved on 8/19 and I had the best surgeon in Maryland. So far all is well. I was discharged on Friday and was on a clear liquids for 2 days. As of today I started the full liquid diet which I can now have low fat plain yogurt, cream soups and 1% milk. My dinner tonight was cream corn soup w/no corn bits at all by Dole. It was sooooo good. Well, so far so good. Pain is but a dull ache if I bend or turn certain ways. When I eat/drink I have to wait a few seconds in between as I can literally feel the food entering into my stomach and I can hear it as well...lol...little gurgling sounds. I get little tingles of what feels like hunger pains from time to time. Not sure what that's about. No nausea or complications so far. I've already lost 15 pounds since 8/19. I'm getting my protein in (isopure ) along with my daily fluid intake goals. And my new addiction is sugar free tropical flavored popsicles-sooooo good! Hope to share/trade experiences with others here! I look forward to my post op appointment.

Welcome to the losers club!! Sounds like you are off to a good start. Make sure you keep moving & let us know how you are doing.

I was just sleeved on 8/20... so we're right at the same point. I have my post op appt on Thursday.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench!!!

I'm new here too. I start my liquid diet today which means I am officially 2 weeks away from my surgery. I am starting to get nervous. All the info seems overwhelming at times. Glad I found this site. Everyone is so supportive and there's lots of good info.

I just got sleeved on Monday and was released from hospital today. How long does it take for the soreness to stop?

Do you have chest pains?

No I don't have chest pains. It's been 6 days from my surgery and finally my abdomen soreness is lifting.

My surgery was 8/18 . Dying for real food soon. I've lost 16lbs so far and feel great!

Southernbelle256 I know how you feel. These liquids are for the birds. Congrats on your weight loss so far, I've lost 14.

Congratulations! My surgery is scheduled for September 9 but my surgeon has me doing 2 weeks of liquids prior to it. I think I'm just about sick of this stuff. Still hungry, still having headaches and now, NOW...DIARRHEA!! Sorry, just need to vent.
