I had mines on 10/10 I'm doing great the was manageable did not need a lot of pain meds I'm on puree food now I don't like baby food so I

Doing mash potatoes and stuff like that

I love that app above - sooo easy and that's great halima02 as I'm on purée- I'm doing salmon chopped supper fine with a little lite mayo and have been fine with that and mashed potatoes with added protien and a bit of real gravy. Sad part is im hungry again during the day and want to snack already or eat - I'm afraid I've already stretched my stomach out lol (I no it cant) but has me worried that they should have went smaller

Can u eat on that salmon and mash through out the day how did u do ur salmon

Hi idid baked fish and it was real soft and broccoli smashed I can't do puree no so real soft food yes

Salmon bought it prepackaged for salads but perfect portion for two meals....I just added a little light mayo.... no veggies yet as I hate them - I like salad but not allowed to yet..... all super soft foods

I'm three weeks in and getting nearly 1,000 calories a day. Are any other women having as many calories as that?

Be careful with lettuce - it usually isn't digested easily.

I'm 3 weeks also. I'm probably getting around 400-500. Some days less. But honestly it's because I just couldn't be bothered eating. I'm not in that mindset yet of forcing myself so I wouldn't use me as an example because I'm a bit naughty.

@@Nikkinee I think that you are more normal than me. I am really hungry and easily manage nearly 1,000 a day. I will have to be careful that I keep losing on that

I just got approval this afternoon. Thought my surgery would be in November.. but found out my date is on HALLOWEEN!!! Holy Crapcake!! Tomorrow, I begin my liquid pre-op diet. I am a wreck! I am terrified.

Please, anyone who's had their sleeve done within the past few weeks.. speak to me. Tell me how you did right after surgery. How was recovery? How was the pain? Did you take GasX strips? How are you now? Should I wear a costume to the operating room? (just kidding about the last question)

My surgeon is Marc Bessler ... did anyone have him as their surgeon?

I am scheduled for HALLOWEEN too!!! Your costume will consist of a patient gown, no undies, an IV and a hair bonnet. The best costume EVER!!!

We will all be dressed alike! I'm going in on Halloween too! Wishing us all speedy recoveries and great success!

I've just started to have that empty feeling over the past 2 days and although I'm not hungry it's my body's way of saying ah maybe you should eat something now.

You should definitely keep losing on 1000 calories a day as it'll be below your BMR, but it may become slower the further along you get. I know most newbies are on around 600-800 at this stage but it's not to say you won't lose weight. Have you tried upping your water/liquid intake? I find if I'm drinking all day, that gives me a full feeling.
