The liquid diet was easier on pre-op. It's hard on full liquids on post op. I'm on day six. I had to have food. It was only scrambled eggs with cheese. My stomach is happy. It sent the full signal. I had three teaspoons. I will not go overboard

TRY TO AVOID SOLID FOODS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A LEAK

WHATEVER YOU EAT WILL NOT BE WORTH IT IF YOU CAUSE A LEAK.

IT WAS HARD FOR ME TOO AFTER THE SURGERY, BUT YOU CAN DO IT

I feel u! But....be careful!

I found out alotta my belly rumbling for hunger was gas. I tried 2eat solids...thought i could till i puked...NOT a good feeling!

I started making those Green smoothies (spinach, kale, mustard greens plus frozen pineapple &berries &lemon juice 2hide the taste) and now I get FULL!

Try that. I got tired of Protein powdered meals too....im 3wks post op. I feel ur pain. Discovered the green smoothies work abt 10days out &it has really helped. ????

And not just green....other homemade smoothies are good too...but that green really fills &stops that hunger with really low carb &the greens have "some" Protein. Also found some stuff at Walmart called "Live fit vegan Protein powder" in the baking isle. I tried that in Tomato Soup (eww...too thick) so 2day imma try it in a smoothie....see if thats better.

Advancing your food stages isn't a good idea, but do you.

Advance my diet because the nurse and nut told me to purée in a week. I am officially 1week out

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
