Hey I just wanted to check up on everyone who got their sleeve last week (including me) and June sleevers period. I don't know about ya'll but never in a million years would I thought that it would take me 24 hours to sip down a 8 0z bottle of water?. Omg and the gas pain. I never been so anxious to fart in my life. I passed gas for the first time today since the surgery and I was so happy, lol. Who would of thought farting could make someone sooo happy, lol. The gas is legit the only pain I have a problem with. It's floating all around inside of me and it's driving me nuts!!!!! Then there's the sugar free foods&drinks that taste like pure sugar. Everything I eat is sugar free and it taste like it was made with nothing but sugar. However, I find the cream of chicken to be the best soup (for me) to eat after surgery. It feels nice and warm and smooth going into my new belly. I plan on buying some popsicles today and see how that goes, because for some reason it's taking me way to long to drink my water and crystal light, jello and a few other things taste way to sweet and my tummy can't handle it. Anybody else having the same issues or experiencing something different?

Not sure if they recommended it, but start taking a stool softener or miralax now. I waited a couple weeks and the first BM was worse than the surgery! The gas pain is outside your digestive system (they inflate you like a balloon), so it has to reabsorb. Walking is really the only thing that helps.

I actually added some Miralax into my applesauce last night. I saw a lot of people talk about maralax and how it made things a bit easier for them. So I figured I'll add some into my food. Which probably played a part in me farting this morning. I walk way to much to the point where my stomach gets that deep cramp feeling, but I won't let it stop me. I take a little break then get back up and do it all over again.

I often mix it with light cocoa, the warm beverage goes down easier and even has some protein in it (though you are probably on shakes only). If the shakes are too sweet or thick try mixing them with water (I added 10 oz of water per 12 oz shake). That really helped me

Thanks! I will give it a try because mostly everything I eat taste super sweet. And jello brings a lot of pain to my stomach. So I stopped eating jello all together. Thanks for the advice. I can't wait till I am able to eat an egg. For some reason I been craving scrambled eggs lately, lol. Super random ??

Dessy, I’m so glad you’re doing well! I had my vsg on 6/25. I just had to comment because I’ve seriously been craving eggs too! I’ve always liked them, but was never a big egg eater. I’m thinking it’ll be my first food though whenever I can have it!!

Lol, same with me. I was never an egg eater now all of a sudden I'm craving eggs like crazy. I saw a few recipes on how to make egg bread, it looks extremely yummy. Maybe that's why I want to eat eggs so badly, lol. I'm assuming everything has been going well for you since you got your VSG? I think we can start chowing down on some eggs in week 3. Which will be the week of June 12th for me, (yayy) I'm counting down the days[emoji847]

I was sleeved on June 20th. I began my soft foods today. My doctor prescribes a stool softener after surgery. I haven’t had any problems and are some cottage cheese this morning. High protein low carbs/sugars. It tasted great and to be able to chew was wonderful.

I am counting down the days too!!
Everything has been going well over here! I’m only allowed clear liquids the first week, but will be able to start full liquids Tuesday. I’m excited for some yogurt and pudding lol. I Just can’t wait to put something in my mouth besides liquid. I’m so excited for the upcoming changes though.

Your Doctor not letting you eat yogurt, applesauce, etc yet? My Dr. Sent me home on a stage 3 diet which contains yogurt, and somewhat tasty stuff. However he wants me to focus on getting more fluids into my system and worry about protein, etc next week.

Surgery on 6/11/18. Still on clear liquids plus shakes until I get cleared by the Doctor July 6th. My paperwork says 2 shakes per day and 1/2 cup broth, but I am drinking 3 shakes because that is not enough calories to live on. Thank god I don't work in the summer. My iron dropped after surgery, so I am taking supplements. I alternate between diarrhea and constipation. Miralax caused diarrhea so I switched to benifiber. I keep hitting the treadmill and am able to go longer, but I know I am getting weaker. I squatted down to get something and I wasn't sure I was going to make it back up. It doesn't even make sense. Maybe when I can eat some beans or yogurt it will help. Currently getting between 700-800 cal per day 100 of which is from the chewable bariatric supplements/vitamins. I don't sleep well, and take about three 30min. naps per day. Once again, super glad I am not working, because when the gas starts I don't even want to be around me!
