I deff read it somewhere and got paranoid!!! I am 24 days out and everyday I have a new question! Thanks for the support

Can you please tell me what you used in your stir fry? I have been craving asian foods and I am 24 days out! Thanks

Clear liquids lasted 23 days total and I started soft foods yesterday. My emotions have been all over the place and I cry at the drop of a hat now. This has been more mental than I could have ever prepared myself for.

I have been craving raw veggies like it is no ones business!!! I also want to have a salad. I typically use spinach instead of lettuce. How far out were you when you had your first salad or raw veggie?

That's the truth! I switched to mushies today and went grocery shopping last night - what a reality check!

Hello all! Tuesday I am 3 weeks out and I can finally move from clear liquids to mushy foods. Can you all give me some of your favorite mushy foods so I can make a list for the grocery store? I walked into the store a few days ago for SF Popsicles and was so overwhelmed. So please help:)!!!

I just read that somewhere else! I'll have to try it!

I'm pretty sure pasta is a no no

Hello I am onto soft foods as of tomorrow!! I understand that tuna is high in protein and I plan on getting some, but ever since I was a kid I have eaten tuna with a little bit of sweet relish mixed in - Is this ok??? I keep seeing things that say no pickles or relish? I love both!!!! When can I have them?

You need to call your surgeon and get specifics - Doesnt sound right to me.

The sugar from the powerade and Gatorade made me so nauseous. 22 days of clear liquids today - I can start mushies tomorrow and I'm terrified I'll be sick!

I'll wait a few more weeks -

I don't plan on blending - ill chew a lot. Unless that's an issue.

I am 17 days post op and down 31lbs. I have been on a clear liquid diet since surgery and that has been the hardest part. I would not change my decision to have this surgery. It hasn't been easy and I have had many moments of tears, but I know I made the right decision. Luckily I do not have to cook for my kids and partner as she has done it all for me. I haven't touched a piece of food in 21 days - I had no idea how strong I could be. This has been a long and difficult journey, but if you are serious about your weight loss and want to get your life back - do it!!!

I might be going crazy but I am on 3 weeks of clear liquid diet. I am 16 days post op today and 5 more until mushies. I'm seriously going crazy - would a little egg drop soup hurt? Something? I know I should be listening to my surgeon but most people at my stage are atleast on full liquids!!!!! Help!!!!

I never even got full/thick liquids!! Clear liquids to mushies. I get mushies on Tuesday and I am nervous since I havent tried a thing! I did however have a Gatorade and the sugar made my belly feel sick. I have been craving meatballs and sauce for a week now.....I'll be mushing that up real soon hahaha I'm just ready to have the normal level of energy I was once used to again!

I honestly do not remember very much from the recovery room. I remember waking up and seeing my Dad and Partner and then I feel right back to sleep. I then woke up and they were gone so I yelled at a nurse (I had no idea what I was doing hahaha), but fell right back to sleep. I felt NO PAIN in recovery. You are still hopped up on Morphine and everything else they have given you in surgery. I maybe remember 10 minutes total from the 4 hours I was in the recovery area. When you get to your room you will be more with it. The first night I was fine and the second day the pain set in from all the gas. It went into my shoulders and I could barely move. But by the next day I was ok to leave and all was well. Recovery at home was a bit of a challenge and at 17 days out I feel like myself and am back to work - Now if I could only get off the clear liquids I would be happy! Good luck and feel free to inbox me if you have anymore questions

We basically have the same start weight and goal weight!! When were you sleeved? I was 3/13.

Oh believe me I have checked! Clear liquids for 3 weeks directly to mushies for one week and then normal food the next. I somehow think that's going to be quite the shock to my system.

Thanks everyone. I haven't cheated and I deff don't want to. This whole thing is such a mind game. My dietician who works directly with my surgeon told me days 1-3 clear liquid and then full liquids until 3 weeks. I thought that was doable. It wasn't until AFTER surgery that my surgeon told me she was wrong and that I was on clears only. I feel like I mentally prepared myself and then my game plan was shot. I've been fine most of the way but today I am hungry and brotha taste disgusting to me. I have jello, Popsicles and water. That gets a little old! Any other ideas???

I was in for 48 hours. Day 1 was Surgery and recovery. Day 2 was the dreaded Barium swallow with X-ray to test for leaks, and we were allowed to drink water immediately after. The next morning we had jello, juice and broth to test and make sure it stayed down, then my surgeon came in and asked if I felt good enough to go home - he said I could stay longer if I felt I needed to. I left! There's nothing like being at home - and I missed my kids like crazy!

If I take a big sip and then sit back I get the gurgle. Or if I drink a sip and lay down its even louder! I know the diarrhea gurgle now - I Can't wait to be on solids so my bm's can go back to normal!

I'm two weeks out today. You will all feel so much better in a week! I am on a 3 week clear liquid diet so I still feel sluggish, but it has gotten easier. The belly gurgling is crazy and really loud! I sometimes refer to it as my alien baby haha hey ya gotta laugh right??
