Recommended Posts

Got to leave hospital about 8am today. Came back to hotel. Nurses and doctor have seen me three times today. Finishing last iv. Have dye test and xray tomorrow. Not looking forward to drinking dye. If all good I'll fly home Thursday. I hace been tryingvall day to get dowm 5 oz of Water. I am not hungry at all. Cold seems to hurt worse but they said to drink cold. Helps with swelling. I had 4 others in my group. A couple of them did not follow diet and they seemed to be really sick after surgery. Myself and couple others followed diet and we have had no trouble. My advice follow diet. Makes recovery easier. Good luck to all

Had mine done yesterday and got to come home today about 1. I feel great really. (knock on wood) Some gas pain in my shoulders but that's about it. Just trying to get my Water intake, which I'm finding very hard to do. I can't even finish eating a thing of Jello. Glad yours went well too cln39!

Cream of wheat - really wet. oatmeal also really wet like you can drink them. Add cinnamon and sweet n low and it tastes pretty good - just the texture is gritty on the cream of wheat but it will help the hunger. It took me an hour to eat a half of a cup. I'm 9 days post op and not able to start puree until after my doc appt next week.

Glad to hear it ccflotron34. It is hard to get your Water in first. sip every 2 to3 minutes. I got that from mayo Clinic gastric sleeve page and it really helped me. You aren't expected to make goal yet. 30 in a week is actually good. your stomach is swollen. It takes a bit to go down. I'm post op day 9 and fluids are just starting to get pretty easy and I'm actually getting hungry.

I am Day 6 and am getting hungry too Maggie. HaVing less than 300-400 calories a day will do that to you!. I get to add thin cream Soups today and can't wait.

After having lots of energy the past 2 days, I am feeling more tired today. Going to get a chair massage and pedicure. This is a great time to pamper ourselves!

Save the jello until you have gotten lots of liquids in. A few bites of jello filled me up too.

Brilliant minds think alike! I had my pedi yesterday ;) So what kind of creamed soups are you having? I could use suggestions. I can have those too. Are you doing bariatric soups, something you are making home made or from the store. I am not a fan of creamed soups but might like yours! lol

Brilliant minds indeed! Today I am going to have the country potato Soup from LA Madeline. Love it. Am also going to store to get a roasted red pepper Tomato Soup by pacific ? Can't think of second word but they come in a cardboard box.

CF I am on Full Liquids. You should be on full too 48 hours after your surgery. They said as long as you can sip it through a straw (but never use a straw) that it would be ok and to strain Soups if you eat them.

At this point you should be on full liquids. how come you are still on clears? you are probably miserable. me personally, I went through a range of emotions but I'm doing good now. I guess at times we are still going to question this life changing thing we all did together which would be normal. Don't fret. This too shall pass and you are probably starving! I'm so sorry. Call your doc or nutritionist. I bet you should be having full liquids now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
