It looks like no one has posted in here for a while, was just wondering how everyone is doing now.

I had a leak that did finally heal after 8 long months. I feel your pain about wanting to drink something. I also had to have the TPN. I pray you heal quickly. Hang in there.

Yes mine did. It just takes time.

I get a pain as well when I take a drink but for me I think it's cause I'm so thirsty that I take too big of a drink. At first it hurt really bad I found out that cold Water hurt worse than room temperature water, maybe that might help, just a thought. Sent from my iPad using VST

I also have regrets at times, even though I am 16 days out, but it's just the emotional part of it for me, cuz eating was how I comforted myself so now I have to find some other way to do that instead of shoving my emotions down my throat. I had a crying spell last night, but I felt better afterwards. I believe it's just going to be a process for me, and I am so looking forward to an egg on the 27th. Hang in there it will get a little better everyday. Sent from my iPad using VST

My fiancé took my two week ost op picks yesterday and I compared them to my pre op pics and your right it really is amazing the change that I saw. The weight loss for me I see in my face and neck as well as my legs, and rear end and hips. It's amazing what I couldn't see in the mirror I could see in the pics, now I know why they want you to take lots of them. It made me feel good. Sent from my iPad using VST

You all have a much better sounding diet than mine. I just finished 2 weeks of clear liquids and started full liquids today with three protein shakes, I've had one earlier and now am trying really hard to get down the second but I feel so full, like it is up in my throat,yuck.

I am 10 days out and still on clear liquids. The only problems I've had are nausea and today I think I dumped after having a sf Popsicle. I want to eat real food so bad, but that isn't going to happen for awhile. I start regular liquids on the 13th for two weeks, and then I get to have puréed on the 27th. Right now it feels like it is so far away. I am still tired a lot too and am at the point where I'm wondering if I'm ever going to feel better. Sent from my iPad using VST

I was sleeved on July 30th. I am still on clear liquids until the 13th. I have lost 7 lbs since surgery but I don't know if part of that is swelling or what. I'm just glad to be losing. Sent from my iPad using VST

I am 8 days out and the best thing I can let you know about is to drink your fluids at room temperature so it doesn't cause spasms. I had them because I didn't know about it. Good luck and best wishes on your new journey. Sent from my iPad using VST

I am only 8 days out but already I am off long acting insulin, and my sugar is running normal so that is an awesome blessing for me. Sent from my iPad using VST
