    Hi everyone! I was sleeved 3/18 n today was my first post-op appt n I'm down 15lbs plus 15 before surgery so that's 30lbs so far. Yayy!! I was just advanced to puree foods today. I had a scrambled egg with a few bites of cottage cheese. I'm curious as to what else everybody was given an ok to eat.

    Jenna, yum I love Wendy's chili but I have to ask if I can have that cause it has meat in it. My Nutritionist says to stay away from meat for at least 4 months after surgery. Vsgmommy, glad to hear someone else can get down 8oz as well. I was worried I'm able to take in too much. Yes I have noticed my clothes starting to feel bigger. I wore one of my favorite blouses yesterday n it was long cause my tummy has gone down. Has anyone gone back to work yet?

    Hiya vsgmommy I was sleeves on 3/18 n still on the liquid phase. My first post-op is this wed also!! Yayy! Can't wait to see how much I've lost n hopefully move to puree foods. As of now I can drink 8oz of Protein shake down twice a day. I use unjury Protein powder it taste really good. N Soups twice a day about 6 oz. n Water of course but I know not enough. I'm also taking chewable Vitamins twice a day from Bariatric Advantage. They taste a littlw bitter so looking for better ones. We are close n dates we can be buddies!

    Any regrets

    Thank you sueoco! This site n forums are helping me alot. I see my surgeon this wed for my first post-op appt n cant wait to see how much I've lost n hopefully will be moving to puree foods. Its getting a little easier day by day ????
  12. I was sleeved 3/18 as well. I have to say I've been lucky no nausea or vomitting. Of course alot of gas n one real complaint is I wake up with back pains everyday. I sleep pretty well except for the back pains. I guess maybe its the gas building up in my stomach. I'm curious how much ppl are getting down 10 days post-op. I'm worried I'm getting down too much. My breakfast lunch n dinner is about 6oz of soup n in between 8oz of Unjury protein shake (which taste really good btw) n of course my water, not 64oz tho. Sometimes I do get the tight cramping feeling while having my soup. This is normal right?
  13. So glad to see I'm not the only one in this situation. I was sleeves last Mon 3/18, I have PCOS n had an IUD put in Wed 3/13 last Wed 2 days post op I started bleeding n haven't stopped. Its hard to be post op n then deal with this. My gyj said at first with the IUD I will have more irregular bleeding but I can't help but think the surgery has to do with it also. Idk. I just hope it stops soon.

    Hi everyone, I'm 6 days out n I can't lie the 2nd day I was like OMG! What have I done? N yesterday was a very tough day for me. I cried alot n so did my hubby because he didnt want to eat without me. They had chinese food n it was so hard to accept that I couldnt eat it. This liquid phase is no joke. I'm tired of soup n jello but hey this is what I signed up for. N I know soon I will start feeling n looking better. Good Luck!

    2days post op update

    I'm 3 days post op n no serious complications. Came home yesterday n only real complaint is back pain. Today walking around n sitting on my recliner to ease. So funny, on the day of surgery I almost walked out while getting prepped also. Lol
  17. Had my last appt this past Tuesday 2/12/13, now anxiously waiting for my surgical coordinator to submit paperwork to Aetna.
