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

What is it DeeDee? how long after surgery could you have that? Did you tolerate it ok !

4oz refried beans with cheese and 1 oz peach. Served by bariatric team during post OP class.
I was extremely nervous!!
I ate the beans over 2 hrs. 1/3 at a time. I had a bariatric forkful of the peaches and stopped.

Left picture is from 8/19/2019.. Right picture if from 7/12/19.. I had gastric sleeve done on 8/2/19..
We can do it my August sleevers

I’m getting better each day. On this morning I feel a little stuffy my throat. I hope I’m not catching a cold.

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!! Success will be yours soon. Can't wait to welcome you to the other side soon!???

4 days post-op and you're already eating refried beans?? Lucky.

I'm 9 days post-op and the most solid thing I've eaten is greek yogurt. My program said I can start adding soft solids (scrambled eggs, refried beans, some pureed stuff, thoroughly chewed soft chicken) on day 12 or 13, but I'm going to start tomorrow. The past 2 days I've only consumed like 350 calories because I'm so tired of yogurt!

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

Me three! Just got home from the hospital about 7 hrs ago & nursing my 1st premier plus water every 10 minutes

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

Best of luck to you!! I had my surgery Monday & honestly I don’t care what I’m sipping... water premier... it’s just what I have to do & id be fine with nothing. I have no appetite. However I’ve set my alarm for every 10 minutes & I just look at is as part of my recovery. I’m doing Enoxaparin shots in my stomach 2x a day to prevent clots. Keep us posted on your progress. Next time you contact us you’ll be on the losers bench!!! Yay!!!!!

Congrats!!You must be thrilled since there’s a substantial difference!!! Wonderful!!! I had the sleeve ... had wanted RNY but surgeon made an executive decision when he had me on the table to do the sleeve because of scar tissue. Glad to see that the sleeve is working out so well for you! Ps.... how do we post pics? I’m still learning this app!!

No not baked beans. It's a slow cooked beans that is then mashed and then reheated Name is misleading as it's not "refried" like with oil or anything. It's a very Tex-Mex cuisine and not close to traditional baked beans with sugar added.
This was fat free/vegan and no sugar added.

I had microwaved eggs yesterday and it didn't go down well for me so I'm staying away for now. Let me know how scrambled work for you.

Good luck ???

? Scrambled eggs was fine. I could only eat just over half so it was 1/2 an egg . What did it do to you ? I had tomato soup the other day and really suffered for it. It was stupid . Because my son could have it after his surgery, I thought it would be ok . Bad idea ! I’ll stick to what my paperwork says in future !
