Hospital gave me tablets to take whole on day two. I've been taking them ever since with no problems.

I was sleeved 11/28, and was the same. Day 4 I slept all day and was weak. I was on free fluid so went back to the protein shakes (sipping) and came good, I just needed some fuel.

Went for my checkup yesterday, 2 weeks was a bit soon but my surgeon wanted to see me before Christmas and it was the only appointment left. He told me as I am doing so well I can start trying solids at 3 weeks, nothing to harsh. He said it won't do any damage it's all about if I can handle it or not. I was thrilled and can't wait to chew food again but will still stick to fairly soft foods for awhile. Was anyone else nervous about going back on solids?

Hi everyone, I'm two weeks post op and feeling fine. Rolled me for a couple of days and I had shoulder tip pain but it went away night two, I think I have been one of the lucky ones. I have been sneaking around here for awhile now finding out all I could before my op. I've lost 12kg since pre op diet and am currently 103kg. Puréed food is definitely not my favourite food texture but I'm back to real food Christmas Day, seafood on the menu this year. I have a freezer full of beautiful ocean fish from our last fishing trip that I haven't been able to touch. I don't personally know anyone who has had the surgery and the knowledge I gained here made it so much easier. I just wanted to say hi and thank everyone for sharing your experience.

Got mine a few days after surgery, one week early.
