Nerves have been setting in for the past week or so....But shoo! They are full blown today. I am so ready to be waking up from the surgery and starting my life as a "sleever". Can you guys leave me advice on what I should buy to "eat" for the first couple weeks? Liquid diet, puree' stage, soft food stage, etc. I'd really appreciate it!

I was just sleeved 4/12. I stocked up on chicken and beef broth, bottled water, caffeine free Crystal Light which I had trouble finding. Everything is geared towards energy these days. I made the mistake of drinking unsweet tea. I completely forgot about the caffeine. I won't make that mistake again. I also stocked up on my protein shakes. Good luck on your new journey!!

Protein shakes, protein soups (for when you're feeling like something savory) & whatever drink enhancements you like! PB2 powdered peanut butter & laughing cow cheese wedges in tiny mushy bites that melt in your mouth REALLY helped me swallow those supplements & pills early on! Good Luck to you!!!!

Spring water, protein shakes, lowfat/nonfat yogurt, sugar free jello, and I like these Del Monte jarred fruits in the fridge section of the grocery store, they keep well in the fridge, are soft and can be eaten as is or tossed into vanilla yogurt and are pretty tasty:

My advise:

GO TO BED!!!!

You will start the most exciting, and rewarding journey of a lifetime in the morning!

Take a few moments and write down what you are feeling on this the eve of your WLS journey. It will a priceless resource when you hit a "bump in the road" along the way.

Now, young ladies, GO TO BED!

Warming up your spots on "The Losers' Bench". See you there!!

I had mine 4/14. I got chicken broth, unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free pop circles ,and sugar free hello. For Protein I got a few chocolate premier Protein shakes and unflavored protein to sprinkle in my sound and Jello. The beef broth was so nasty my cat wouldn't even eat it.

Has anyone heard from Tiffany? Her surgery was Monday and I haven't seen here online since then....I'm just wondering how she is doing.

I'm having a rough time. Puking a lot, I puke every time I take my pain medicine which is liquid, and even sometimes when I only drink the smallest sip of Water I puke. I've been in a lot of pain, and can hardly drink anything due to throwing up and all the pressure in my chest. My follow up appointment is tomorrow. I'm going to explain what's going on and update you on what they decide to do. Thanks for checking on me!

@@tiffanymarie6997 I'm so glad to hear from you! I was getting worried. I'm so sorry you're having a hard time it sounds awful. If you're not able to keep anything down you probably need to call your doc. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Exactly, my friend.

If you can't keep fluids down, PLEASE call your surgeon--just to let them know.

You certainly do not want to get dehydrated.

.

Please call and FEEL BETTER.

Prayers going up for YOU.

I called and let them know that I wasn't able to keep anything down, not even the smallest sip of Water. They prescribed me zofran for my nausea and it seems to be helping. I was actually able to take my pain medicine and keep it down. I'll let y'all know what I find out at my doctor's appointment tomorrow. I really appreciate the prayers!

Tiffany I had that the first two days , but it went away well kinda. I can't drink Water it makes me sick and another cold goes. The pain in the chest and tummy are gas mines still really bad. I also had a allergic reaction to something so I'm covered in red dots on my tummy .

I'm hoping I'm through the worst of it. I was really starting to get nervous. I still am of course. Dry heaving/puking with a newly stapled stomach can't be good. I just hope nothing messed up in the process. If I could just get this gas to calm down so I could swallow, I'd be in a lot better shape. Also, the New whey liquid Protein shots my doctor recommended are unbearable to drink. So I'm trying to find another way to get in my protein.

@@tiffanymarie6997 I'm glad you called them. I'm sure being able to keep your pain meds down will make you feel a little better.....at this stage focus more on Water than Protein.....once you can keep the water down then worry about the protein. Take care!!!
