Gastric Sleeve Experts... Please Chime In!
kendalg replied to lillita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the sleeve done on November 29th. I had no problems in surgery. I was nervous because I had never been under. Well that was nothing!!! I had some discomfort from the gas. I did not have a catheter or a drain tube no problems. I would do it again. I also was scared that I would not know if I knew when I was full. And I do!!! Yesterday was 3 weeks and I have lost 17lbs. Good luck!! I think the first week was the hardest with the liquids. I never want tobeat jello again. But now I am eating mushy food such as scrambled eggs, oatmeal, tuna and today I had about 4 bites of grilled catfish. I do find that I have heartburn alot that I never had before. I just take prilosec for that. -

Hungry Girl 5 Days Post Gastric Sleeve Op!
kendalg replied to BethH's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am 5 days out and hungry too!! Can't wait for mushy foods. -
I am 5 days out of being sleeved. I have not been nauseous once. I was very nervous before surgery which was normal. I had never had surgery or been under before that is what I was scared off. Well it was nothing to be scared off. I have 2 incision on my stomach that are about an inch wide and one in my belly button. Maybe my dr thought one day I would want to wear a bikini. LOL NOT. The only thing I did have was gas pains and heartburn but that lasted maybe for 2 days. Now that I am drinking clear liquids and protein shakes I want more. I feel hungry. I am not sure if it is in my mind or what. it is not like I am starving just empty feeling. BUT I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID. It will be fine. Good luck

I need some suggestions. I am 5 days out and at first I could tolerate broth now the smell makes me sick. Not literally but I need a suggestion of what else to eat. Even I cook my own.
