    Not all surgeons require the same regime. I was given the choice of soup or custard in the hospital the day after surgery. I wasn't able to manage it but the lady in the next room did

    Food varies for everyone. I would try 1oz of liquid and drink 15 minutes apart... time yourself if you need to. And like @SleeveDiva2022said try warm liquids. Also a heating pad on and off every 20 mi

I weigh myself in the morning after I Pee and I’m in my nightgown. That seems to produce fairly consistent weight with an overall downward trend. Some days it is still up though and I just ignore those little fluctuations unless it lasts Several days which it never has.

I weigh myself every morning(bad I know) in my panties after I pee before I shower. Every now and then I'm brain dead tired and weigh in my nightgown and it's almost a pound (sheesh I know right?!) And it wakes me right up and I catch my mistake and re-weigh.

I do have weight up days though, they are few and far between but they happen. I take them on the chin and just keep on trucking. I know it will get better.

Congratulations on your surgery! You are now one of use (those wearing a sleeve no matter what)!
I had a sleeve done in 2014. Unfortunately, I gained all my weight back and added to it! I’m not sharing that to discourage you or something I am proud of. But, I too have been results oriented my entire life. I have been an expert at loosing weight fast! If I could make one suggestion it would be to follow the prescribed food plan and focus on your journey! Losing the weight will happen naturally and you will have developed the tools and habits for the weight to be gone forever!
I am beginning the next step of my journey: a SADI-S procedure. I am 61 and I will never give-up trying!

Thank you for sharing that. I am 67 and this is my first weight (and I hope last) Bariatric surgery. Good luck with your next procedure and don't give up!
