I agree everyone is different. Don't concentrate on the weight loss but concentrate on getting your protein and fluids in. And whatever you do walk, walk, and walk some more.

Dr Morales says the reason that water hurts is because it goes down really fast and your healing. So he suggested G2 for me and it has worked out really well

I think the puree stage is the hardest because you struggle to get in your protein. Everything that you puree and mainly carbs it seems. So once you hit phase 3 I believe you will start seeing a difference so just hang in there!

Good luck to the new sleevers! I was sleeved on 11/6 and the only struggle I had was with my hernia the surgery itself went flawless! I am so happy I decided to do this surgery I have no regrets and I am looking forward to feeling better and looking guuuuud!

I had an awesome time....I didn't feel to left out I had sweet potatos, green beans and two really small slices of turkey chewed to a smooth pulp! it was really filling and I lost weight yeah! On top of walking and standing in lines all night for Black Friday (So glad that's over!)

Wow that is awesome!

Wow your still on clear liquids?? I am on soft foods and will probably be on them for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Good luck at the wedding I know you will do well.

Hi everyone, I am doing a hundred times better. I have my second follow up appt today since my last follow up appt I had to have another procedure to remove a stent. Since then I feel fabulous! I am on soft foods which is crazy, I have a list of things I can eat but they suck! So I have been kind of modifying the list as long as my sleeve doesn't say what in the heck are you doing! Instead of eating the greek yogurt straight (Which taste HORRIBLE) I use it as sour cream on my very soft mashed potato. I can't tolerate eggs at all so those are off my list and as far as soups I am concentrating on the ones that are very high in protein. I am doing SF jello and SF pudding and peanut butter (The creamy version of course) So if anyone else have any good soft food ideas let me know!

Yes, they really want us to keep our sugars under 10 grams

I had this issue after surgery, but it was because my Dr did not see my hernia. But he had to go back in and all's fine. I am no longer having the chest pain, are you still having the pain?

Ditto, I have no regrets. I am on soft foods now and I feel awesome, stay true to yourself and recognize the signs and you will do GREAT!

Ditto, I am down 15lbs as well. I was sleeved on 11/6 I have no regrets. Slow and steady wins the race!

I concur, just found that out myself. I am on soft foods so I was trying to eat 1 egg, which by the way I found out was to much for my obviously. I thought I ate it slow and well enough but I was unable to finish it and had that sit in the chest feeeling for the longest. Not a good feeling at all, need more pratice at this most definitely

I think each Dr is different. I was able to have protein shake pre and post op. Pureed soups and sf popsiscle

No that's not normal, it gets better from here I promise. I was just sleeved and with Dr. Morales you automatically do a two night inpatient stay in case any problems arise. I believe each Dr does it differently unfortunately. Sorry you had such a hard expirence. I wish you luck!

Good luck! Trust me you won't regret it! I am a week post op and I had a few complications. Not due to the sleeve but other complications that was found because I was sleeved. I feel blessed and I am so happy to be on this journey. You are all in my prayers!

I hope all of my sleevers are doing well. I was officially sleeved on 11/6. The surgery went flawless but had to go back under the knife due to a hernia. Couldn't even swallow air the first couple of days, was just released from the hospital this past Sat. If I had to do it all over again I would in a heart beat. No regrets! I hope everyone is concentration on their protein and moving around as much as possible you are all in my prayers!

Sorry to hear that but best wishes to you as well!

Yes...good luck I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 as well. My prayers are with you for a speedy and easy recovery!

So waiting on hubby to come back from voting....then on my way. It hasn't hit me yet but I know once I get to the hospital it will.

Did you not have early voting? If not that's a bummer, I was able to vote absentee this year

I hope so, I know my hubby is sick and I refuse to sleep in the same bed as him my surgery is tomorrow and I don't want to be sick!

Jenn my Dr has given me my next 3 appointments including the week follow-up after surgery. Did your Dr office not do that?

That sounds awesome have you been able to get up and walk around

I'm right with you, I was more nervous last week that I am today. I am just ready to begin my journey! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!
