Got my surgery date: October 22, 2018....and now the wait... Would love to gather a cohort here to go through this with!!!

Not too good. Just got out of the hospital. Had a very rare blood clot. Have been soooo sick and in so much pain. It was worse then the actual surgery.

So nice reading up on your journeys, everyone! I'm 3.5 weeks post op and go back to the surgeon/nutritionist this week to hopefully get the all clear to go on to Soft Foods. So far I haven't had anything disagree with me, but I'm still learning whether I'm eating enough or NOT enough. It's strange to not feel hungry, I'm trying to decipher what 'full' feels like.

Getting enough liquids in is tough, when you're stopping before/after meals.

How are you doing?

I'm pretty good.. no real complaints.. or complications only thing I've noticed recently is my stomach is rumbling alot..

Ya.. I'm so glad I found this app.. it's really great knowing other people are on the same journey as me and also being able to communicate with them about the whole process.. it's really great.

Just wanted to come on and say hi . I’m obviously new here . I am 3 weeks post sleeve . My surgery weight was 289 I’m currently at 266 . Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated

Hi josh m! Welcome! I had my sleeve done on October 16 and I’m down 11pounds since surgery, 24 since I started the pre op diet! I’m excited to finally started soft/puréed foods on Tuesday! Best of luck in your journey!

Seconding both of these sentiments!

I can tell a few minutes after I've eaten too much because I feel a little green about the gills, and I make a note to eat about 1/4 ounce less the next time. I just don't have a "full" signal that I can decipher, as yet. I haven't been sick, yet, but have definitely spent some time feeling nauseated.

I'm also having a lot of trouble getting to 64 ounces of liquids with three half-hour meals and the rest of my life happening as well.

I was just telling some friends today: I spent all this time building up good habits about carrying a water bottle everywhere and drinking a lot, pre-op; only now I can't drink room temperature water. I can barely drink room temperature anything, so I find myself making (mostly decaf) hot tea all day. And of course I lose time every time I refill my cup.

My solution, such as it is, is to buy myself a bigger tea cup. At least I'll lose time a bit less often?

Have body terrible gas pain

@crankymagpie thanks for compiling the list. I am also October 30

Had surgery Tuesday the 23rd...still have discomfort on my left side. I am getting some liquids in. Just wishing this next month would go by quick so I can actually eat something.

I can’t seem to find my full point either I haven’t been sick but it seems like food goes through me pretty quickly how my going to know when I am truly full?
