So the reason I choose 8-2-19

Was because I'm an out doors kinda guy.. I love my fishing and taking dips in the lake.. my son turns 2 in April and I want to enjoy his day.. If I do it early I feel like I would get dehydrated with this central California heat and get to miss out on a lot of fishing and swimming with my little one

Hi cc5. Welcome ? When did you have your surgery? I had mine on 12th August .Im also confused about yoghurt. I hear from some people we can have it on the liquids , but It doesn’t say that on my paperwork.

I’ve seen some hospital webpages say only clear liquids for up to 2 weeks after the sleeve! My surgeon said clear liquids the first 2 days, then full liquids starting on day 3 if I can tolerate it. Nonfat Greek yogurt is the thickest full liquid on the list of full liquids. I’ve been eating the Greek yogurt since day 3 and it stays down. Takes me about 3-4 minutes to eat a 5oz container.

Tomorrow is the day!!! I kind of can't believe I have survived these two weeks on liquids...I'll be honest, I'm kind of sick of protein shakes and broth! It will be a relief to get to day 3 post-op and be able to have *full* liquids!

I had my bloodwork done Friday, and one of my tests indicated some clotting issues, so I had to start lovenox injections on Sunday. Luckily, not too bad

Yes, that's my schedule too. Clear liquids first 2-3 days after surgery & full liquids for 2 weeks after that.

Hi there,! I had my surgery yesterday. I thought it was strange but they gave me blood thinners right before my surgery. I expected it afterwards . In any case.... Very best of luck to you! Keep us posted

ME TOO! How's your liquid stage going?

4 days post OP and had my post OP class today with lunch included afterwards. I'd been on clear liquids since day before surgery.
I tell you, refried beans has never tasted heavenly!!! I'll share a picture and it took me an hour to finish the beans. I couldn't finish the fruit!

I commend you guys with weeks long preop!!! Well done!![emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Success will be yours soon. Can't wait to welcome you to the other side soon!???

First meal after weight loss. We were advanced straight to soft foods[emoji57]
I was actually worried initially but your tummy tells you when you have had a bite too many!!!
