Who else had a surgery date 10/28/15?

I'm just curious how you guys are doing ? I'm hungry a lot of the time. I'm sticking to my plan. Just wanted to share and see how others my same date are feeling.

I had surgery the same day. I rarely feel hungry. Still having issues finding things that agree with me. Just started trying pureed foods yesterday. Some days I feel better than others. I am gradually increasing the amount of walking I do daily. I had a hernia repair along with my sleeve so I'm still having some pain. Glad to hear from somebody else!

I had mine on 11/3 but seems like the same issues. Right now not hungry and only had nausea 1st and 2nd day. Thank goodness. I hate my multivitamin : opurity. I hope I didn't make a wrong decision on that one...

I was sleeved on 10/28. So far I am doing really well. No pain what-so-ever.

No problem getting in my Water and Protein. I do get tired easily. I think that my calories are still too low. I'm averaging 600-800 calories per day. I'm also walking a bit, about 7500 steps per day.

I do experience hunger sometimes. Usually it's when I see something I really enjoyed before. I think that it's head hunger. So far I've been able to ignore it. I am really looking forward the next food stage.

I had surgery on 10/27/15. I am doing well. It's a real chore getting my water and protein down, but I'm doing it. I am rarely hungry. Even when I am I don't think it's true hunger, I think it's just moments of food nostalgia. I went back to work on 11/02/15, did fine. I walked on the treadmill for the first time today and was amazed how quickly I got tired, but I'm sure that will continue to improve. I am not really excited about starting puréed foods, I'm not hungry and bowls of paste don't tempt me at all.

Thanks all for your comments! It's a crazy awesome journey we are on! I def feel hungry in my head and my belly. Can't wait to move on to puréed foods... But can't till the 18th. Ahhh the count down begins!

I had egg whites yesterday and it went well less then 1/4 is all i could eat but its a start I know i am suppose to be on liquids until the 12th but I cant handle it I hate Soups in any form. I had oatmeal this morning and went on a 3 mile walk with my dogs did honey do's around the house and feeling great!

I had my surgery the 28th. I am still experiencing some pain, I guess I had adhesions from a previous surgery. No nausea for me since I have been home from the hospital. I am on puréed foods and struggling to meet water and protein goals. I just can't get it all in. Not really experiencing much hunger just food smells really good. It drives me crazy when my husband makes food for himself, everything smells wonderful. Glad everyone is doing well!

I had surgery 10/26. I was hungry pretty much the moment i woke up and it continued through the Clear liquids stage (2 days) and the full liquids (5 days) until I was finally able to start eating real food. I'm supposed to be on pureed but doctor OK'd things like mashed up scrambled eggs and tuna fish chewed very well. I've also had refried Beans with a little cheese. My eyes are definitely bigger than my stomach! 1/4 cup and then I'm done usually. If I accidentally push it, I get a strong pain behind my sternum but subsides quickly. I have not vomited, nor had any nausea other than twice in the hospital when they gave me oral pain meds. I didn't take anything else for pain once I came home on day 2 and I went back to work 7 days after surgery. Right now my biggest struggle is not to taste tiny bites of unapproved foods - my office has food sitting out that i have to walk past frequently and I did try a few tiny garlic crackers from a gift basket - they were heavenly and went down fine, chewed to a pulp, but I know that's a slippery slope so have banned myself from trying anything else.

Hi my name is Juanita. I had VSG surgery 10/12/15. I'm ending the mushy stage' and beginning stage 3, incorporating vegetables and few fruits. This journey has been tough...I miss social eating and snacking. Any suggestions?

I was sleeved on 10/25, close to the end of the Full Liquids. Thank goodness too cause I need something to chew lol. I work in a kitchen, lots of walking. I returned to work 8 days post op. People were surprised to see me back so soon, but I couldn't stay in my house anymore. I got bored and the tv food commercials were making me head hungry and irritated lol. Work has kept me busy. :-)

Oh wow! Way to go!! You are doing great! I'm 1 month post op and I struggle getting in protein and water. Walking is getting better but I have a bad knee (osteoarthritis,spurs, torn meniscus)so exercise is often painful but PT helps.
