Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I was sleeved on Feb 16th and back home on the 17th. Honestly, I was expecting things to be worse than they really are. Since coming home I have not needed any pain meds and can easily walk my neighborhood with no issues. The ONLY issue I have is if I drink anything too fast I get a gas bubble that works it's way up. This is not pleasant. I'm getting very tired of the clear liquid diet. I feel like I could eat anything without issue but my surgeon insist on a minimum of 10 days clear liquid post surgery. On the 2 week pre-op liquid diet I lost 20 lbs. In the 3 days since surgery I have lost another 7 lbs. If anyone knows a way to make this clear liquid diet more bearable please let me know.

I had clear liquids for the first 3 days and then liquids?

Have you moved onto Liquids yet?

Congrats on the surgery

Hi Kate,

I am on day 4 post op and still on clear liquid. My surgeon instructed me to stay on clear liquid for a minimum of 10 days.

I'm with you. No pain no meds easy to walk. Had bypass on 2/15. I only had to stay on clear liquids for three days. I'm on soft foods now for ten days and I'm loving it. Yogurt, soup, applesauce, jello and pudding.

Hi everyone. Just a quick update. I am now 1 week post op. Doing great with no hunger issues. My problem is today makes day 8 of the clear liquid diet. My energy level has bottomed out and if I stand too quickly I get light headed. I'm calling my surgeon tomorrow. I HAVE to get some nutrition in me.

YES....Got the OK from my surgeon to move on to the soft/pureed phase of my diet. He also wants me to add a multivitamin and a vitamin B-12 daily. So far I have had some soup along with the vitamins. Feeling better already.

Sleeved 2/20. I have numbness in my left thigh. So weird. Anyone else

Just a status update. I am now 4 1/2 weeks post op. Since I started the pre-op diet I am down 50lbs. At about 2 1/2 weeks post op I hit a snag. I came down with a uti that wiped me out. I'm sure I was a little dehydrated but when the uti hit I was instantly mega dehydrated causing everything to shut down and my BP started tilting really bad. I had to go to the ER for hydration and testing. Fortunately they were able to confirm the uti and started me on antibiotics. Once over the uti things have gotten much better. I'm now back in track.
