Me - I got the sleeve to stop dieting. So I don't consider myself to be on a plan. I am one week postop and have to build to things, but this has helped me see just this weekend how full I get on a little food now. I was 266 and 229 now through pre surgery diet and exercise. If I am a size 10 cool - smaller is greats but its all fine. I want to be around 160 for my health. With 6 days postop I will drop the 69lbs I am sure. 43 and healthy. But in the meantime if I want and medically can eat a snack or food (I know everything doesn't work) I am having it. I saw one person post pancakes hurt- and i will watch that and test foods first . but i am free from dieting. I just won't eat the whole bag and now get full off a small meal vs app cocktail entree and desert along with a bread basket! A few bites to taste but no more ice cream gallons in two days!

My surgery was the 15th. I am soooo sick of the liquid diet. Did anyone start early? I haven't had issues but my doc said wait Til Monday.

When can I have it? 6 days postop now

Go you!!! I lost 8 since Monday. So amazing. I love how a half a can of soup makes me full. Excited for grits today!!!

Same here but after 3 days out sick I am required to do short term disability insurance and fmla. I wanted to take 4 weeks bc I had the time but my doctor only approved 2 weeks.

I told mine where I hid the cheese Boy Scout popcorn I forgot to eat since he has been so good.

Yeah like do they have enough junk food commercials. No wonder I ate too much.

I am 5 days post op. is my stomach area swollen? It seems a little puffier than the rest of me

Same here.

Sounds like a must read for me. I can't wait to heal and eat normal but am afraid I will push it.

Can eating a certain food cause a leak?

Me too!! I haven't yet. I was thrilled to eat a half a can of Soup and be full. Sleeved the 15th. Did the cheese puffs make you sick? I am dying for a little snack.

I love my veneers thankfully insurance covered them. Break a tooth! Ha

I am a week out and never threw up not even the gross chalky stuff. I felt like it once but didn't.

Sounds yummy

Face and butt

I had it tonight and was fine chewed them. I am 5 days postop too. I was supposed to wait til Monday but I couldn't take the liquids anymore. When can I eat crackers?? Anyone know.

Sleeved Monday and my back pain is worse than the surgery site pain!!! My hubby treated me to a massage. Any tips before I go? Other than pointing out the surgery spot?

I wish I could be like ppl who don't need it. It has been a week postop and I fit into my smallest jeans almost. Size 14 Ann Klein and 16 Calvin Klein. This was as far as I ever got in years. Only a week postop and I know I will see size 10 again. That is all I want. I I lose more great. Knowing I will get there ... No regrets. I have an eating problem and this is what I needed to do to control it.

Eat up! Just don't kill the diet completely. I am almost a week postop and glad I ate my favs. I realized that some things just didn't taste as good as they once did. You can't eat for a bit enjoy and push the plate when you are full.

I was sleeved Monday and doing ok. What happens Monday at my preop appt besides eating yogurt and pudding?

Jealous!! I want to breakout the grits but if it doesn't go it will set me back more. Carrying pudding cups and a spoon to my appt Monday!!
