I had my surgery on Monday 5/2!! I am so excited to be on the losers bench! My surgery went well with no complications. Stayed one night in the hospital and had the best care. Came home Tuesday afternoon with prescription for Tylenol with codeine and an anti nausea medication. I took them up to last night. Stopped because was getting a headache. Haven't needed the pain meds. Walking has helped with the gas bubbles. Thankfully no shoulder pains like I read pre op. I'm on full liquids until 5/11 when I see my surgeon for my follow up. I am having some diarrhea off n on. Not happy about that. Working on getting in my water and protein. Cream of chicken soup made with 1% milk for extra protein has been delicious! I have absolutely no regrets! Any suggestions on what I can eat on this stage is greatly appreciated!

I bought every kind of cream soup my grocery store carried, because I was allowed strained cream Soups in my full liquids phase. My favorites were Campbell's condensed cream of shrimp made with 2% milk. And Progresso's chicken cheese Enchilada. For a VERY special treat, my grocery had a hot soup bar so I would occasionally go there and get their Buffalo Chicken Chowder!

Welcome to the losers' bench! Sounds like you are doing great so far!

Congrats! Sounds like things went perfectly! I'll be joining you and the other "LOSERS" next week

I havta say.....after reading this, it's apparent to me......you're gonna be a real loser.

I was 5/2 also and I'm also in South Jersey. I have been tired all week and have only been able to drink 1 Protein drink a day. I'm getting about 32oz of Water in daily but it has been hard. I do feel a little better every day.

I was also sleeved on 5/2!! It been difficult to get in 48oz of Water. But I did have cream of chicken w milk and that was good

I was sleeved yesterday, 5/4. Had some minor complications with scar tissues from previous surgeries (non bariatric). So much gas pain and discomfort. I can barely drink anything. Hoping tomorrow will be better...
