10lbs in 2 weeks is great! Dont over expect and u wont be dissapointed. Not everyone loses at the same rate either so keep that in mind... if u werent huge... like myself... to begin with it may be slower. 10 lbs in 2 weeks though??? When was the last time that happened?

Its probably acid. It feels the same as hunger in the beginning

I started taking it 2 days postop... I am now 18 days postop

I had that also.. starting taking generic prevacid and it went awat until now when im actually hungry

I was also sleeved on the 26th! I have lost 27 all together including preop... 12 since surgery but tomorrow that may be different.... anyways I started puree as of day 3 and im on till day 21. I drink2 protein shakes a day to help with my protein intake. One of the shakes i basically make it into a smoothie and add goodies like natural peanut butter.. plain greek yogurt for extra protein. I am fortunate enough to have suffer very lil to no discomfort. .. nor problems drinking anything or really even the amount. Anyways... I am eating this like pureed refries beans with ff sour cream.. pureed egg salad with low fat mayo and mustard... pureed chilli.. etc. I always add cheese to just about everything to give it a lil extra. I melt a lowfat babybel cheese and thats an extra 6 grams right there! Or drink a v8... that has a lil boost of protein in it also.

Whoa... mushies not munchies... yeah I wish!

I started puree on day 3 then I get to start muchies on day 21.. at 6 weeks is when im allowed to eat hard meats.. raw veggies.. and stringy things. Ide wat a lil longer on the jerkey or meat sticks but I dont see why turkey pepperoni would be an issues as long as u chew it good... I cant waitttt!!!!!

... just to give you some hope. I had my sleeve and gallbladder surgery at the same time. First day in the hospital I used the drip a couple of times... 2nd day I used it twice. I went gome that day and havnt used any pain meds since the hospital. No pain.. nothing

Go take a look at the band to sleeve topic and I think that may make up your mind for you.... I originally wanted the band bc I didnt want major surgery. I was on lapband talk and met some ladies that made a facebook support page... all the people on that page are constantly struggling with eati g and weightloss. The member on that page that had the band the longest just had to have hers emptied because it buried itself Into the stomach... anyways its a personal choice for u to make... me being 350 I decided the band wasnt for me... good luck

Ide say just wai a couple days... hell I looked sooooo forward to eating pureed chili but gave myself a week. I felt really good 4 days post op that I was out and about again. Give yourself a week and then gradually reintroduce yourself to it

I also was sleeved on 02/26.. had no problems with protein intake or Water I take. Im eating pureed food usually 3-4 times a day and measure out 1/4th cup. Im ready for someone to go in my belly bc im starting to get the hungries!!! Cant wait I have about a week and a half to start mushies and soft meats. Anyways surgery went very good. Spent 1 night In the hospital. Ive had literally no pain... its been great. On day 4 of recovery I drove to the vrocery store and did some shopping... I also have wondered if I even have my sleeve in there!!

Ok so I am now 9 days post op.. I was allowed pureed foods starting on day 3. I hear how everyone says.. ohhh I get so nauseous after 2 tsp .... I cant drink.. blah blah blah.. so am I lucky that I can drink plenty water.. hell I can even take a couple gulps without issues. I have pureed things like cottage cheese.. chicken drumstick meat with ff gravy... turkey chili with ff sour cream.. refried beans with ff sour crams.. egg salad... and thats about it maybe. I measure everything out to 1/4th cup and eat it with ease. I usually do that about 3-4 times a day plus 2 protein shakes. When im finished I find myself wanting more... rather thats the fat person or actually hunger in beyond me... I feel to normal. Does that make sense? Now I know im not eating like my true fat self... I know that... but it kinda scares me that when I can start eating normal I wont feel restrictions. I also had my gallbladder removed..just for the fyi.

Ok ... hahaha I just just just posted about the same damn thing! I also get hungry at times.. not alot but some of these comments set my mind to ease

I just had my surgery yesterday and im at home now. The meds they gave me to take home are anti nausea and pain killers. I keep gettin what feels like hunger pains... are tums ok to take???

Thanks!!! I called my drd this morning and im taking generic prilosec in the morning and tums if needed throughout the day if needed. So we will see how that works.

I know... im wondering if this is acid that I feel.. bcit feels like hunger pains... I will be getting some chewable or drinkable prilosec tomorrow

I had surgery yesterday and I wasnt given any antacid type medicine. I keep feeling like I have bad hunger pain that come and go

yippie for ussss!!!!!!!!!!! another sleeve buddy
