I had mine on the 14th. I am doing ok but I swear I feel hungry all the time, maybe it's just head hunger but it makes me crazy. I'm looking forward to the puréed phase this week.

My surgery is on the 27th. The closer it gets, the more emotional I get. I am angry at myself that I got myself this unhealthy that I need this surgery. My emotions are just all over the place.

Mine is the 29th and I'm in the same mental state. I guess it's normal but still...

I got sleeved on the 8th. I'm feeling pretty darn good and finding I can eat pretty much anything, just a lot less of it. My surgeon ok'ed pretty much anything mash-able with a fork, and so far I've tolerated everything I've tried pretty well. Except a beef skewer I tried, which wasn't mash-able and which tasted great but went down like shoe leather.

I've been fine with pretty much everything, too. Even spicy foods like chili and salsa.

I have finally been cleared and approved for my sleeve surgery!!! I almost had to call it off (rescheduled 2x) after having a minor stroke earlier this month. My surgeon required clearance from a neurologist and I had to go thru a series of tests because of it (echocardiagram, brain MRI, lung CT scan). WHEW!

I'm finally scheduled for June 6 (my birthday is June 3) and I am so ready! One last hoorah this weekend (Memorial Day) although I will still eat smart.

Let's go! WOO-HOO

Hey! My birthday is June 5 and my surgery is June 9! Preop diet is going good. How about you?

To Katchee... I also felt hungry last week but it's getting better. I would swear mine was real hunger but once I got more Protein in, I was better. I'm 2 weeks out and starting on soft/pureed foods but finding I can eat everything I've tried with no problems...just eat small bites and small quantities. I feel pretty good about it.

Sleeve June 17. Water is not a problem tough it sometimes painful. Small sips seem to work. Have only eaten egg subsiltitue and chicken so far. Hardest thing is taking crushed meds. No pain meds since Saturday night since the liquid pain meds made me vomit.

I'm new to these forums but I had mine on June 8th. Everything seems to be fine. I go for my post op appointment tomorrow and then I get to start puréed and soft foods. I actually have a little anxiety about it. I am excited to be able to start eating againbut I am actually a little afraid of the food. I am afraid that I will over eat and it will hurt. I am afraid of going back to bad habits. I am just nervous about going back to bad habits once I am allowed to eat again. Did anyone else have that anxiety?

Just take it slow and you'll be fine. Remember to measure your food instead of relying on your stomach to tell you that it is full.

Sleeved 6/13. I'm doing okay pain wise but, I am having a hard time with the liquids only. Any suggestions of Protein powders so I can get more Protein in?

Premier ready to drink shakes gives you 30 grams per carton. Also genopro flavorless Protein powder can be added to anything. I add it to Soups and it has 30 grams per scoop. It's been a lifesaver. I get about 90 grams of protein per day.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
