Okay, I was sleeved almost two weeks ago and I've been doing pretty well. I feel good. I have been walking everyday. I also have not had issues getting fluids in, which I consider a tremendous blessing. Here's my issue. My sister was sleeved 5 mos ago and one of my best friends was banded 5 years ago and they keep telling me what I am going to experience based on things they have gone through. Now, don't get me wrong, I welcome their advice although sometimes, my bf's unsolicited. They both could not keep fluids down, I can. One felt better at 3 week, one felt better at 6 weeks, I feel better in my 2nd week. One had issues swallowing anything and I have been okay thus far. I guess what I am saying is I truly appreciate the stories, warnings and I feel blessed to be able to walk this journey with two people who are close to me, but how do I tell them everyone is different without sounding like I am rejecting thier willingness to share???

?????? Really?!?

Wow! How far out were you before they discovered your leak? You are in my prayers... What alot to go through!!!!! I get my 64 ozs in easily. I drink about 16ozs in 45 mins to an hr and yesterday drank a bottle of Isopure in about 30 mins. I burp long, but I dont hurt. I am nervous about eating, but excited at the same time. One gal on here gave ideas for excellent recipes on pureed. I think I will get a petrie bowl and eat from that. Thanks for being so helpful!!

Thank you! I am a Pinterest addict! I have a board called the "After Bod" lol!!! It does help to pin all the cute clothes I will be able to fit one day soon!!

I have one of those 100 calories cottage cheese and fruit in my frig and I want to devour it!! Lbs! I cant even eat pureed foods for two more days, I feel as though I'm going to scream!!! Help!!

Good advice!!! Taking heed! I was thinking 2-3 ozs?!? I am able to drink lots of liquids tho. Were you able to drink liquids pretty easy? (After healing, I read ur story I am so grateful you are doing better)

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the words... Im trying to gain strength!!

Thank you!!!! You all are right. I just have to shift my focus on the positive! I will tryyyyyyyyyyy lol!

CaliAmber, why do you find the pureed stage hard?

These are from UTGal99

Egg salad - couple eggs, 1 tsp of mayo, 1/2 tsp of spicy brown mustard, salt & pepper - puree until smooth Buffalo chicken - can of chicken, 1 tbsp blue cheese crumbles, 2 tbsp ranch dressing, 1 tsp. of buffalo sauce, salt & pepper - puree until smooth - MY PERSONAL FAVORITE! Squash casserole - 1 can of squash with vidalia onion, 2 tbsp of cream cheese, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, salt & pepper, 1 tsp margarine/butter, 1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese - puree until smooth, pour into dish and microwave for 90 seconds or until heated through and bubbly Pintos and cheese - 1 can of Pintos with onion - puree until smooth, pour into dish and cover with 2 tbsp. of shredded cheddar cheese - microwave for 90 seconds or until heated through and bubbly - stir well to combine the cheese - optional: add a bit of enchilada sauce if you are looking for more flavor

Im glad everyone is doing well!! Checking in next month is a great idea. I hope u get more energy sleeve sister ;(

Way to go!!!

Great stuff!!!

Im hoping u feel better!!! Hydrate as much as possible!! Ive brain washed myself, lbs. I wake up thinking "Must.... Drink..... Water...."

Beautiful!!! Amen!!!

Just curious as to how many people believe their sleeve handles most if not all foods upon reintroduction to solids.

Everyone's idea of major complications seems to be different. When I think of major, I think leaks, clots..... What do others think?

I lost 15 and am excited!!

Lookin good lady!

How many calories should I be getting in post op within week 1?

My NUT wants 64ozs of water!!! I am like really!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Im in my first week but when I asked my sister this question who is 5 mos post op, she said "Welcome to the world of sampling"
