Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

Ever since my sleeve I noticed that my taste buds are over sensitive. Example I opened a Premier shake and drank half, put it back in refrigerator, after several hours i went back to drink the remainder and I couldn’t it picked up all the scents and flavors of other items in the refrigerator. I thought it was just the shake but today I noticed I had a partially opened bottle of Water and I am experiencing the same issue. I had to throw both out. Anyone else had this happen to them?

I can’t drink the premier shakes at all anymore. All whey protein shakes are giving me the runs. I get it I’ve had issues with milk in the past but nothing like this. I had surgery 12/27 and a few issues with my throat and ears hurting but that’s getting better. I’m having a hard time with the smell of some protein shakes and I just keep tossing them. Water and broth are my besties.

Had my surgery dec 26th and doing ok I guess. Still in pain because I have 5 incisions with 1 being really big. Just made a trip to Walmart and walked around and I'm tired. I hate the protein shakes. Am able to stomach 1% milk with instant carnation breakfast, scrambled egg, hard boiled egg and cream of wheat. I feel hungry alot of the time. It's almost a week since my surgery and I'm down 10 pounds. Trying to drink as much water as I can but it's hard. I feel it might be too soon to be eating real food but I'm tolerating it ok so just taking it easy.

Hi Jean, sounds like your doing great. My surgery was 12/27. It is tough getting all of the liquids in. Funny, we are headed to walmart now to get some steps in and pick up some supplies. Keep up the good work.

I had surgery the 20th, haven’t tried an egg as yet. Ur cottage cheese and plain yogurt works . I really like unsweetened chocolate almond milk with protein powder , 1/2 a frozen banana and some peanut butter powder .. delicious

I was sleeved December 19. I have lost 21 pounds since I started the liquid diet before surgery. I am starting my soft diet tomorrow, and I am kinda worried. I don’t want to over eat, and I’m afraid that will happen. Has anyone found different meal plans for us sleevers yet? I would like to find different plans to help this soft diet along.

Yes liquids for 2 weeks. I see surgeon next Wednesday

Hi. New here, glad I found you folks. I had my sleeve surgery on 12-31-18. I'm a wife, mom of two kids , and a pediatric nurse. I gained an enormous amount of weight over the last ten years after I was diagnosed with lupus. I was nervous about the surgery, but I'm so glad I went through with it. I am thrilled about possibly being thinner, healthier and more mobile in the New Year. Good luck to all of us...its going to be a happy , health new year.

Hey sleevers, I'm 20 lbs down myself, and I'm 2 weeks PO SLEEVE on Thursday. I called myself trying grits with eggs 2 days before..NO GO[emoji17] I believe it was the eggs tbh. But I just didn't eat any of it. Had a shitty day on Saturday so I was not in the mood for anything really. Today was so much better, I got mile mile in today, didn't drink all 64 ozs but I did puree some potatoes yesterday and kept it down. I am looking forward to the bake fish when I get there. Still taking mostly liquids though. Any suggestions for the full liquids stage from the graduate sleevers. I am not a fan of the Greek yogurt. Unless it's the brand, I got a different brand this time for the next stage. Keep pushing you guys got this[emoji108][emoji108]

I had to reach out to a coworker who recently had the sleeve 8 months ago, and she said it was the BEST decision she could have made, so that gives me hope[emoji847] you'll do great Mama234. Each day is a day closer to a better you[emoji38]

I had my sleeve 12/11 and my surgeon said no alcohol for six months and honestly I can’t imagine even trying alcohol so soon after surgery. I am down 30 lbs and I don’t want to mess up my momentum.

Jelena, I'm in the SAME BOAT AS U with the alcohol, I wouldn't dare try to drink ANYTHING! It seems the things that I have tried that are NOT whew truly on my liquid schedule had kicked me in the buttocks sooo, I'll wait and boy when I get that 1st glass of wine, I will gladly dance and sing with it lol. I'm trying to get more ideas of what a chick can tolerate next stage of full liquids shoooted. December 20th sleever here. 20lbs down, still liquids, and soft mushy things now.
