I was on liquids for 2 weeks as well, then the next stage is soft foods and so forth. Slowly but surely you will be able to enjoy a bigger menu. Be patient with yourself too. Having said that I remember when i could add soft boiled eggs chopped into teeny tiny egg salad bits and pieces and I was Thanking God for something to chew.

I am 4 weeks out and had to come to the realization that getting my energy back was going to be slow no matter how many circles I used to run around everybody. Funny thing is I used to love sugar free gum now I cant stand it, taste like someone poured sugar into my mouth. Also didnt really like Mrs Dash seasoning, now I am thankful for it! who knew?

You have come so far and your body is beautiful!! You have to do what feels right for you!

Oh my goodness you look FabUlas!!

Congratulations on shrinking and amazing body transformation. Nothing feels better then feeling great at a family get together!

Wow this looks amazing

OH red Red wine, some day..But i know that I have to wait for a special occasion perhaps. GOAL would be a good time. But wine tasting at the CA coast is something we love to do!!

I had my lapband removed and sleeve done in January. I did a preop diet but i was told I didnt need too. Having the lapband removed felt great I I can finally hug my little girl with out pain.

I use Calcium fiber gummy vitamins and it keeps me regular

I had to laugh when i read this. I think that moment happed when I was 14 and my body looked good in boyshorts, but I can dream damn it.

Praying for you to heal and recover soon sweetheart!

Oh no that sounds like a painful lesson Hope your feeling better soon.

I like to treat my self to a pamper day and get my hair highlighted and cut, sometimes a pedicure with a message chair, Yes i know it is the small things but i do appreciate them. I also get small treats for every 10lbs, something to help me in my journey to a better exercising lifestyle! Just got myself Jullian Micheals 30 day Shred.

Wow very interesting, Thanks for sharing!!

Just like fingerprints we are all different and so are our doctors. They know what went on inside you for your sleeve and what diet you should be on. I also think the doctors go on what has worked well for others who had long term good results. But believe me if your constantly looking at what every one else gets before you it will get to ya! ie: Damn that person is having a steak right now and they are only 1 month out, lol

Just amazing, congratulations on beating the sugar monster it is a miracle!! Also congratulations on enjoying life with action and adventrue too!

Yay, that is my my 1 month sleeve anniversary so count me in!!

MissMac well said, I believe my Dr said if you loose 11lbs with in th eyear you have done really well with your sleeve, so sweet one dont get discouraged on what the doctor is saying he wants to encourage you to do your best and start exercising then start exercise too. Remember this is a new begining for you so do your best and that's all you can ask for!.

Well said and bravo to you sir!!

Cowgirl Jane you set your mind to anything and you will succeed! Knowing the process works paired with your new habits your life will be long and healthy one. Doing the Happy dance for ya!!

Woot, woot, Look at you girl!!

Hope your feeling better soon!

My Dr didn't require the liquid diet either, in fact I was only told to do liquids 1 day before. Then kept reading about shrinking your liver and how it does help with the surgery. since I was doing a revision I wanted to do my best to make my surgery go off with out a hitch. I was very thankful that I had already done a pre-op diet before hand to get me used to liquids after surgery. It really helped me appreciate the food variety at every stage. Good luck on surgery it sounds like you are being proactive about it!

I had the problem of feeling a bump in my throat after my surgery and it because they put an endoscopic devise down my throat to see if my sleeve had any leaks it took about 14-17 days for it to go away. Have you tried gasX for the burping? Also I would put carbonated bubbles in my tummy now, nope nodda chance because i dont want to end up back in the hopital for causing my stomach to burst. But you may try calling your Doctor and seeing what they can do for you, ie: Rx etc. Good luck
