It was onetime mistake and regret a lot since then I am on liquid diet

My apologies for calling your post a troll post. Please do not do it (self advance your diet) again. Complications are expensive, and that's even when you live through them..

liquids go down a lot easier and quicker than purees or solids. I had my surgery at a Bariatric Center of Excellence where the surgeons are accustomed to doing many surgeries a week. My surgeon/hospital did a leak test during surgery, wiyh air, before vlosing me up, then the next day I had a leak test with an x-ray. I was cleared for liquids, then once I could handle those, they gave me a tray of scrambled eggs (considered puree). I tolerated a few bites of this and went home on purees. This was my post-op diet, but I encourage everyone to follow the guidelines given by their surgeon/hospital/nutritionist. Good luck!

Hi everyone I had me sleeve 4 days ago at Ochsner in Louisiana. I'm only drinking small sips of ice Water and eating popsicles. My Doctor told me to sip sip and walk walk, I did just make a Isopure Protein Drink but I only had 4 teaspoons. My not in pain but still tender. My Doctor told me not to get on the scales but to concentrate on healing. I did start back on my chewable vitamins this morning but I didn't swallow the little pieces. Everyday I'm getting stronger but I love my ice water and ice! I'm having weard dreams also it's probably from the pain medication I had in the hospital! My surgery was 2/20/17 good luck to all of you[emoji3]

I for one think this is a troll post. Even at 3 weeks I had issues eating and drinking..
And i was consuming close to 100oz of fluids in my stage 1.
Sorry but I don't believe you ate without any pain.. even if you were overdosing on oxycodone.

In any case, desist from eating till you're ready for stage 4 post op diet, else you might spring a leak, or itritate your stomach sutures. It doesn't take much to injure a healing stomach.






I don't believe this post either!!!!

I was told no more than 6oz of liquid an hour, even if you feel you can handle more- at least for the first week, not sure if this will change after my first post op visit

Hey Melisa G! I'm 8 days post op sleeve as well and just got to 11oz of my Premier Protein in about an hour as well. That's about 3oz every 15 minutes. I think it's good. Getting in our liquids and protein! I highly doubt we're stretching the sleeve because it's not a solid. By any chance have any of you had bleeding at your incisions? Started yesterday, very dark blood, and surgeon on call informed me to squeeze as much out. Im not too worried since I have no other symptoms and it's not red around incision..just wondering if anyone else had this issue?

Thank for for your reply! Im so worried because Im able to take so much Fluid in so its great to hear Im not alone!

Im sorry to hear about your incisions, mine are still "angry" and sore but I haven't had any bleeding, just a stinging sensation from the areas. My biggest annoyance with that is the tape residue that I can't seem to get rid of!!

Im thinking that as long as the area is not swollen, oozing or red then they should be ok, just healing slower :)

Sorry to hear about that. I had no issues with my incisions. Except for severe itchiness, which is part of the healing process anyway..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
