I had the sleeve done 4/9. My diet has been Clear Liquids for the 1st week and then “soft proteins” for the next 2 weeks. Think eggs, Beans, yogurt. I’ve started testing a few foods and when I’m eating them sometimes I get a tinge of pain and feel like I can feel the food moving through. Has this happen to anyone else? Maybe I’m not ready to start real food?

I had my surgery 4/3 and I get to start full liquids Tuesday (adding milk to my Protein shakes). I've felt hungry here and there and tried scrambled eggs, tuna, and chicken. I also have pains, almost like I can feel it moving from mouth to stomach. I have to be on full liquids 2 weeks then get to start soft /pureed foods. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to eat 20g protein/ 3 oz of meat when I start eating soft foods. I can't tolerate 3 bites.

Try really small bits for starters, like 1 teaspoon servings. I couldn't do Beans at all for the first month or so. Listen to your tummy.

I remember that feeling vividly, I’m now 4 months post op. It gets better, but it can be slightly unnerving!

I was sleeved on the 7th just today I had yogurt it tasted so good, I’m so tired of liquids. What other foods are you eating?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
