On week 2 and chewing food and spitting it out! ???

At my 1 week check up my dr. says go straight to regular food, just chew it up real good. I was uncomfortable at first but I'm easing my way through by starting with hard boiled eggs, manna bread...that's it so far...so good...

Congratulations wish I soon could be where you are.

Some inspiration for all of you!! I was sleeved oct 1 and was feeling a bit down because the scale hasn’t moved much since surgery. Just tried on my slacks for work next week and they were too small and now they are baggy and hanging off me!!! ?

Hello everyone, this is my first post!
I'm thrilled to have found this website; I just had my Sleeve done on October 17th. I am thankful that I truly have only had some soreness and gas pains these past few weeks. I am following my doctors rules along with listening to my body for a change.[emoji2] [emoji3]

Hi OriginalGAPeach! I had my sleeve done on the 16th! I’m feeling pretty good too. Getting in my protein shakes but I’m starting to dislike the sweetness! I think things taste so much sweeter now. Did you notice that? Today I also blended some lentil soup and it tastes soooo good! I’m so happy to taste something salty!

I too am happy that I have only a little soreness, all I’ve taken is Tylenol and some gas. I went to the store today with my husband and it was so nice to get out! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
