I was sleeved 3/28 and I feel I'm doing well. I'm moving through the stages a little faster than I should be, full liquids just don't satisfy me anymore so I've started experimenting with puréed and even some soft food. I've found that the only items I haven't tolerated well are warm/ hot foods ( heated Soup has made me feel yucky but same soup at room temp was fine) Anybody else moving a little faster than they should?

I was honestly going too and i know many have but u can get full take in more Protein the reason you need ro go in stages is to avoid a leak or hurting your new belly...its still very swollen delicate and healing...just like a baby u would not jump from stage 1 to solids would you?? Also your new belly is more sensitive and you may have develop food intolerances which is another reason we all do stages..

If ur doing fine thats good but i would strongly suggest you talk to your nutritionist and not cheat your way to next phase.

Also good u realize what temps work for u that was so trial and error for me...unlike u hots work better for me...but that goes to show you how your new tummy is so different.

Had mine on 3/29. Doing well but no where near 80oz Fluid a day my nut wants me to. Hardest thing for me has been the grinding of meds. I've tried putting it in everything to hide it but I almost gag when I take it. I know how a dog feels when you try to give them a pill! LOL.

Nice!!! I was type 2...but controlled...never needed meds...but doctors put me on metformin when i started my pre op diet ro help lose more weight...they told me i would leave the hospital with out it...took my blood tests last week...no longer diabetic!!! If all comes out good again in dec they will deem it cured!!! Woo hoo....

I seen to many family members die of renal failure from yrs of being diabetic i did not want ro live my life that way...although doctor did say as we get older and our metabolism slows down more it CAN come back but 1 battle at a time!

Happy for you Criag!!

Sleeved on 3/7. I have moved to solids but I can only eat about 3.5 ounces at a meal. Getting in 64 ounces of Water a day is not a problem. There is no hope for 90 to 120 grams of Protein a day. The shakes are beyond nasty. My energy has been coming back and I had no post-op complications. I have tolerated just about everything I ate, except really spicy foods but I haven't tried bread or salad yet. I stay away from foods with Surculose. It makes me nauseous. I do get the slimes but taking a PPI helps with that. I am back doing Zumba 3 days a week and at least two other days, I walk at least 10,000 steps. I have been taking all my Vitamin supplements. So far I am down 32 pounds since surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
