Yup, that's one of the things I'm worried about. It's great that you're able to control it!

Thank you! What made it hard for me is that my daughter, who lives with us, is such a good cook & that my family can eat solid food in my presents! But im determine to not let that deter me from doing whats right!
Im sure you'll do much better than me!

Just arrived at the hospital. I'm tired, hungry, thirsty and two hours away from surgery.

Here's success from my 8/21/17 sleeved date: I'm 23lbs lighter now! Last night we went to a birthday party and I actually had to change because my shirt was too big! I can comfortably wear a pair of my old jeans.

How are the sleevers doing that have been ok'd to move onto soft/puree foods? i having a hard time with it as most of the foods that my doctor gave me i dont eat, like fish im allergic too and some of the other stuff like chicken salad is just blah im still just eating my high Protein low sugar yogurts, egg beaters, sugar free Jello, sugar free pops and Water ice and low fat string cheese and getting my protein i drink my Unjury chicken protein broth. i have cravings and my stomach does tell me when im full which is pretty quick and some soft foods i cannot eat because it hurts me. the Protein Shakes i cannot stomach still so i dont even bother. I'm also still stuck at 218 and have been for almost 2 weeks, still having good and bad days.

tips? recipes?

Compared to this morning after I woke up from surgery, I'm feeling much better.

The pain has subsided for the most part and I have thrown up thrice. But never let it be said that I don't have character. I sung the first verse of the Marseillaise while being wheeled in to the OR.

How are you doing? I had mine on Monday, got home today. I've had virtually no pain and no trouble at all getting liquids down, although I'm trying to take that slowly. Have some minor gas, not too bad yet. Curious to see how I'll sleep tonight.

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on Monday, 8/28. I'm nervous - not about the surgery itself, but about what happens after. I'm also having these irrational (?) fears that the surgery work for me - that I'll be ravenously hungry, that my metabolism won't let me lose weight. But, another part of me is optimistic that I'll lose weight and keep it off. Yikes! I'm nervous.

I'm still a sore at the biggest incision site but other than that I feel fine. I think after that soreness subsides everything will be great. How are you feeling?

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
