I also had my surgery on the 7th. I am on semi liquid diet which includes yogurts, protien shakes, and puddings. Still getting stomach spasms here and there but the meds help. Also feel some pain in my chest/high stomach area at times, but I am pretty sure that is still some gas stuck in there. It's right where your ribs connect. Also still feeling alot of pain in my one incision. Thought this would be more like having a cesarean, but man was I wrong. Lol

I've had hunger headaches but little head hunger. Only today did I experience wanting to eat things I couldnt. Though, it sort of is back. Just trying to focus on the fact that eventually the feeling will pass.

Thought of the day is I just got hiccups for this first time this afternoon. And holy Sh*t. I almost went into the damn light guys. Abdominal muscles are used in just about everything... Being fat- who would've thought it.

I was honestly scared to death I was going to damage myself drinking too fast. I have a 64oz Water bottle I ordered and I small cup I marked at the 4oz line. I make sure my cup is always full and I'm able to get around 66 oz a day. Just sipping my life away lol. I got afraid in the forums that I was going to be sent to the hospital for dehydration. So I made sure that's the first priority.

I had psyched myself out way more than I needed to. I had surgery on 11/3. Everything is going great! Incisions are almost healed. I have the slightest bit of muscle pain on the "big incision" side. I'm eating and drinking right at the minimum. The most difficult thing for me is all this tracking whether it be the Vitamins or "meal" or fluids or Protein. I honestly feel like if I'm awake I've got something in my mouth. I started full liquids yesterday. It's super boring. sugar free pudding, milk, creamed Soups, etc. I'd rather drink Protein shakes, if I'm being honest. I haven't felt true hunger yet and I don't ever want to again. I've lost 2 pounds. I can't say this is the "best decision I've ever made"...yet.

I too was Nov 7th sleever. My first day after surgery made me feel like I'd made a big mistake. I have Fibro myalgia and all of the needle sights absolutely stung. I got the sleeve done hoping that the weight control would help my pain control. It's going to be an interesting ride. I am enjoying the recipes and practical advice from the "Nutrition for Weight Loss Surgery" book that my dietician recommended. Also found a nice thick and creamy Protein shake by Giant Sports called Delicious Protein powder Elite. I have no problem drinking enough Water, shaved ice goes down well as a change from sipping it and I pretend that the ice is an iced coffee, the taste isn't the same but at least I'm being creative and staying hydrated.

Is so difficult to have a health issue while going thru surgery...I understand you I am also diabetic and it has been a little bit more rough that just only having gastric sleeve I hope our decision will make us healthier and let's keep going so one day we look at this and say Yes it was all worth it...

It will be! Think of yourself just like a baby coming out of your mama's womb. You would never hand that baby a steak or all these chemicals in this fake food. We want to get into real

food, albeit blended up in a ninja, as soon as possible. Making old fashion cream of wheat or maltomeal with I sweated almond milk (to make your own, 1 cup almonds, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 4 cups Water in a Quisinart for 3-4 min, strain) old fashion egg custard (hasty pudding-from YANKEE Doodle) with real vanilla bean or lime or lemon juice. You can add a Protein scoop, stevia or just extra egg white for a Protein boost. Real food -hidden nutrients. Also, since we eat so little, invest in organic now.

Hi Roxy, I too had my surgery on Nov. 7th. I am happy to say I feel better everyday. I ate nothing for the first 3 days because anything I even thought about ingesting made me very nauseous. On day 4 I finally started with a Protein shake. My problem is, when I "eat" my stomach feels as though it's "grinding" for lack of a better word. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?? I am so excited about this journey and want to be as successful as possible.

Good morning I think sipping on warm Water or even tea will help you a little bit as far as me at the beginning my esophagus felt like a chain of spikes and I felt every movement going down and with the gas it was not helping at all...but just sip sip sip and if a certain liquid doesn't help try something else but drink slowly

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
