Excited and worried at the same time @rkimom. Do you have to do the liquid diet?

I was sleeved Oct 6th. I'm on clear liquids I think until Thursday or Friday. But I really feel like i could tolerate yogurt, Apple sauce, and some other full liquid stuff. But I'm sticking to the plan. I keep having stomach spasms. I assume this is normal. How is everyone else doing?? I haven't weighed myself...

It's so tempting to try and skip ahead. I feel you. The hospital made me a banana milkshake the second day after my surgery. It was the best thing I've ever tasted. I was sleeved 2 days before you and I've been drinking shakes, thin Soups, yoghurt etc since day 2. Had no problems. I don't know what I'd do having to be on clear liquids for so long, so you're doing awesome.

I've lost 8 pounds since surgery (I'm 6 days post op).

Thank you all for posting you're experiences so far! It's nice to see how things may go, although we are all a little different in our journeys. I've waited over a year for this to happen and have had doubts along the way but reading experiences and hearing good stories about how things have changed has made me stick with it. Today's my surgery eve, I was lucky- only one day clear liquid diet which is today, tomorrow I head out to the hospital. I'm nervous and hopeful I'm making the right decision but it has helped to read what you early October-ers have faced so far

I have been on a liquids diet since 2 weeks before the surgery. Idk how I'm surviving. I just want regular food. I know i could easily get in my Protein with real food like yogurt, cottage cheese etc. It's just getting so difficult. Tong hard not to skip ahead....

Your stomach needs to heal - think about what it looks like on the inside - you don't need to make it start digesting food. You'll be very surprised at how little you can eat - you'd never get your protein in through foods this early on. That can take months sometimes. We don't need food to survive - we need Water. Your body is breaking down the fat stores. Hang in there!

I'm on the 18th too - and on day 8 of the liquid diet! One week from now, I'll be in the recovery room and on the Loser's Bench! :-)

Excited and worried at the same time @rkimom. Do you have to do the liquid diet?

I'm lucky in a couple of ways.

I am following a 4+1 plan-4 shakes and one very controlled meal. Im grateful that I get one time per day to eat food. Even so, I'm still very hungry.

Second, I currently have a LapBand in place. Even though it's empty, it still causes restriction. I'm having revision because of swallowing issues-I got stuck on a shake the other day!

Well done to you on the walking!! I've been happy just walking a block. The biggest incision hurts so have to walk with an ab binder for the time being.

I am going well!! How is everyone??
