Ok will do smalltalk!

I also had mine the 26th and down 12lbs! So exciting!

So I'm 9 days out and on purées. My question is about getting my 70g Protein in. I am only allowed to have 3 meals a day but only 2-4 tbsp at a time so how can i get all that protein in. And also if I'm taking my Vitamins with my meals I'm assuming its ok to take a sip of Water to get the vitamins down. And is my Protein shake considered a meal. So i have to stop drinking water 15 mins before and resume 1hr after drinking my shake? Just wondering what everyone's doing as I don't want to mess up my new pouch. I'm suddenly feeling confused!

Lmao! Now that's a way to cool off!

Good luck and congrats! You will do just fine. I'm 8 days postop and down 12lbs I feel great. You will do awesome

Dinner was ground up baked chicken and puréed squash. About 2 tablespoons of each. My kids cracked up when they saw my plate and almost died when I burped and told them I was full! Great feeling to have dinner with them and feel somewhat normal. The hardest part is no drinking with eating. I used to drink like a gallon of water while eating. Those days are gone!

Yay I graduated to purées today. 1st real meal was some chili. Boy did it feel good to have substance in my mouth. It was great but I'm definitely full on such a small amount which feels great gotta figure out some purée recipes to try out

Lol. I had some turkey chili with some shredded cheese and small bit of sour cream. It just hit the spot. Yummy!

Hi jenn. I was having a hard time crushing my pills and taking so I just cut my pills in half and take them with sips of Water. Much better. Crushing pills is nasty. My incisions are sore too I was done in the 26th. Each day is s little better. I find the more active I am the worse the soreness is but this too shall pass

How are you doing ?

Mine was put in under anesthesia also so no pain there. Then I was up and walking after surgery and catheter can out next morning at like 6 am. Didn't hurt just a funny feeling

I was sleeved on the 26th and have been doing great. Drinking water is fine and taking protein shakes just fine. My 2 major incisions still sore but tolerable. I did have an emotional breakdown yesterday probably because family got together and made a smorgasbord of food and I couldn't have anything. Just craving a taste I real food. Tired of broth, jello, and popsicles. Anyhow I know it's all part of the process. It will all be worth it. To all of us on our way to healthier beings , keep hour heads up and be strong! We can do this!

I'm 4 days postop and have been doing real good! But I'm starting to crave food. I got the call from doc today and can start my protein shakes yay! My husband and kids ordered Chinese food and it smells delish! I know it's mind over matter but I can't wait to start purées! Ahhh just venting!

I can sleep on my sides with careful turning. I am tired of sleeping on my back as well. Two of my incisions are sensitive so turning to my sides needs to be done carefully. With time things will be better that's what I keep telling myself ????

So I can take my Zoloft and cut my trazodone pills in half I should be fine? Doc told me to crush them but they taste horrible crushed so I just stopped taking them until I get to stage 2 foods. I even have a hard time taking ppi crushed yuck

Sleeved 8/26 at lowell general hospital! So far so good!

That's awesome! Someone's looking out for you! Congratulations!

I had one and it was no big deal. Just stunk having to walk the halls carrying your purse of urine lol. Comes out day after surgery don't worry you'll get through it!

Lookin good stace! Keep up the good work!

Thanks all! It's a good way to test me haha and yesterday I went to the grocery store for the 1st time and it wasn't bad. Just craving food in my mouth since I haven't ate anything solid since last Saturday. Not sure when I get to start on purées but hope soon. And in regards to food on tv. Lol. One of the 1st commercials I saw in hospital was burger kings new burger that is topped with French fries. Lmao. Looked good but had no desire to eat! I stay away from food network cuz that's just a tease but I think smelling good food is harder. But I'm strong and can do this for me!

Did you have your surgery yet goochman?

I am also 4 days postoperative and I've taken showers and didn't find them painful at all. I'm just really careful around incisions

I had my sleeve surgery on Monday and was discharged home yesterday! I have to say I feel pretty good overall. The hardest part is cooking for my kids and husband and watching them eat. I'm not hungry but I crave having food in my mouth as I have not ate anything solid since Saturday. This is going better than some people told me it would. It's all mind over matter. I'm getting my fluids in and can't wait to start protein shakes and purées. I'm curious to see what my weight loss will be at my 1st postoperative appt. looking forward to a lighter, healthier me ????
