Hey Sleevies! I'm 9 days post surgery! The first 3 days were miserable. The last 3 says were amazing! I feel soo much more like myself.

One thing....

My appetite came back after hearing that it would take about 2-3 weeks. I know we are supposed to be on liquid diets but ive been going crazy! I had bean Soup, mashed, tortilla chips, salsa, slushy(not for flavor but for some strong, strange crave and need for something very cold, citrus and tart)potatoes and shrimp soo far. Yikes. Is that bad?! 7 days post op and I've had real food. I guess my main question is; Is it only bad for my diet or is actually bad for my stomach that I've had these foods? Like, would it cause problems? I'm concerned but ive been able to take on some foods. I'm not out of control, though! Haha. Just figuring things out with my stomach and how I feel. Thanks folks, glade to have support with this. I love the idea of bariatricpal. TTYL, Sleevies!

It's great that you are doing so well. However, tortilla chips and all the other stuff you're eating on day 7 is a big problem. Do you have a plan provided by your bariatric team? You really need to follow that.

Google what your stomach looks like after being sleeved. It is swollen, stapled and vulnerable. It cannot handle what your giving it and if you've not gotten ill yet, be grateful and go back to full liquids. Bump up Protein intake to stave off these cravings you're having. Good luck.

Yeah the chips could hurt you. And sounds like a lot of carbs. You're starting very early with the things you're needing to learn to do without in the early stages.

If you were not given a dietary plan by a nutritionist tell me and I'll send you mine. It's more progressive than a lot that I read on here.

Thank you, gemigirl. I do have a plan...i was following itvthe first 6-7 days and thats when my cravings and appetite went crazy. I definitely will get back to liquids. I should have known this would be stupid. My stomach can't tolerate that stuff. It was also to test my limits but I can no longer test. Thanks a lot.

If you have a plan follow it. For not laying in a hospital bed for a month's sake. I don't think eating that soon is as risky but with the right stuff and puréed.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
