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

I'm one week post op and am down 11 lbs. I'm finally under 40 BMI! ????

I was sleeved on Monday. Had problems getting any liquids in, but today is better. Getting 40 oz at a minimum is a real challenge.

Day 8 post op...boy did I mess up! I'm on full liquids which include cream of chicken Soup so I also bought some cream of potato soup. Apparently there were bacon bits and other ingredients in this soup! I mushed a couple of small potato pieces in my mouth before swallowing. Holy cow!! I was in serious pain most of the evening.. I see now there is a reason they put you on full liquids for 2 weeks because your body cannot handle much else! LOL I see why they tell you to introduce one food at a time once you are able to eat regular food... Lesson learned I won't make that mistake again!!! ????

I was advised to pass any soup through a sieve for the first two weeks. Hope you're feeling better now.

I get to start puree tomorrow. I can't wait!!

Note taken...go easy ????

Interesting to read other people's experience this far. I am 11 days out. I can have puréed food for the next two weeks. I have been eating baby food. I know it sounds strange--but I really like it.

I'm 8 days out also, and doing well on the full liquids. My only problem is I'm still hungry. I thought that would go away after the surgery. I think I will start pureed Foods this weekend and can't wait.

Are you sure it is actual hunger? I haven't felt hungry in two weeks.

Make sure you're taking your acid reducer as that can feel like hunger.

I am taking the acid reducer, but at least once a day I feel hunger. I can feel liquids going down and the rumble of food as it is going through my system. I hate the feeling as I want to eat more and faster which I know I can't do.

I don't think that's hunger. Be sure to be getting enough protein and fluids.

Had my first pureed meal today. It was pretty odd. Scrambled egg and salsa. At least it wasn't a protein shake.

I get that same feeling. I'm a June 8 sleeve. But it seems to be diminishing.
