So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

How many oz is everyone eating per meal at this point?

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

2-4 here depending on what it is.

@@UsernameTaken im sorry u r dealing with it also, just the thought, smell, taste of food makes me nauseous, and ppl say well u have 2 force yourself to eat, but its hard when u KNOW its gonna come right back up, im even taking reglen and it doesnt help, i know in my head i need 2 eat, cause im pretty weak get worn out from simplist things but my stomachs says no, im not sure what to do, im pretty frustrated at this point.

I know exactly how hard that is! Hang in there

I am 3 weeks off now, will be 4 on Friday and today is first day that I almost don't have nausea and was able to eat. It will get better, that I see now... I honestly didn't think it would...

liquid foods I'm having 4 ounces (thick soups). pureed foods, I'm having 2-3 ounces. If I have more than that, I feel sick. Not sick like dumping syndrome, but I feel sick like uncomfortable. It's hard to explain it. I don't know if that is what "full" feels like, but I am labeling it as I'm full. So I stop.

I had a hard time today...

I think I have been very strong since surgery. I came to visit my mother and she was making pork ribs with rice (her famous rice). I admit I wanted to eat so bad but ONLY out of fear of getting sick, I didn't. That isn't what bothered me. What bothered me was the thought of when it would be okay to eat rice with pork ribs. I know it's not okay now, but will I ever be able to eat pork? What about white rice? The rice I grew up with??! These thoughts kept getting longer and longer until I finally started crying. Sushi? Taquitos? I didn't think I'd miss food like this. I love pop corn. I love eating it with flamin' hot cheetos. When will I be able to enjoy that again? Sigh. Finally doubt set in.. Did I make the right choice?

I'm just having a rant... it's hard because the pureed food I'm eating now, I eat it so slow that I don't even enjoy it. Tiny little bites and I can't even taste. I feel so robbed.

I know it's for my health and when I step on the scale, it's worth it but I still feel sad sometimes.

I was sleeved 5/23. How's everyone's recovery going?

Somehow it's bothering me that I can eat and drink amounts that literally feel like a lot compared to what I thought would be possible.

I'm a bit anxious about what eating will be like in a few weeks and months from now...

I splurged and got Panera today. Brought it home put it in my blender and added unflavored Protein powder. It's delish!

I think that comes from when your incision starts to heal and I felt that way if I did too much activity or stretching around, also if my undies were too tight

I am heading to the ER. The pain is just to much and I didn't sleep at all. It feels like my gallbladder....at least that is what I am hoping and no other major issues
