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

      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! 😞
