I spent good money at whole foods to make sure my wings are not full of fat & steroids, lol my wings average 10-12 grams per wing. & i don't eat the skin..

Prayers & Blessings❤️❤️

I'm sorry abt your discomfort, but I am glad you got some relief.. My surgeon did tell me that lack of enough water will certainly cause constipation. So, I've bn trying to get in 2-20 ounce bottles a day, I can't seem to do more than that right now.

So, in order not to avoid nausea & vomiting I have to take 1 bite of food every 30 minutes. I mean I'm only on the mushy foods stage, but damn it takes 3 hours to eat half of a potato

For the first week it's Clear liquids. Meaning Water & broths & sugar free popsickles.

I was sleeved on April 25th & as of today I have lost 20 lbs!!! My knees hurt less & my lower back isn't in excruciating pain. HANDS DOWN BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE FOR MYSELF!

@@PdxMan, now you've made me cry thank you ❤️

Lulumomof2 : Clear Liquids mean Water, broths, Ice, apple juice, and sugar free/pulp free juices. Full liquids: means anything that can go through a straw - shakes, tomato Soups. Etc..

Damn!!!! 126 pounds in 7 months!!!! You are BAD ASS!!! You don't get to complain!!! LOL

So, I was sleeved on April 25th. I've drank only Water since then- no juice & of course- no food. Today is the day that I begin my smoothies & nutritious drinks.. I made a smoothie this morning with only frozen fruit & water. But it made me have bad stomach pain & diarrhea. Has this happened to anyone else?!!!

I hear great things about those Premier shakes from Costco! Think I will swing by there tomorrow. Yes, my breath has been kinda bad too. My mouth constantly feels Clammy. Glad I'm not the only one! I'm not up for sex, but that cld be bc I had a hernia repair while doing my sleeve. But my doc said, I cld start whenever I was ready.. I know my husband is VERY READY! LOL

Hi guys! Maybe I didn't provide enough detail. My week 1- which was last week consisted of only Water. As many bottles as I cld get in a day. I was allowed to have sugar free juice & broth like Soups.. But I don't eat broth & the juices were too sweet tasting. So I only drank the water. On the list my doctors office gave me, I was NOT to have any Protein shakes etc until week 2...Now -Week 2, starts off the protein shakes & powders, etc. I was totally sick ALL day from the 1 sip of smoothie..UUGH! ... But I tomorrow is another day, right? I'm gonna go to GNC & try my best to find a protein powder that doesn't taste like vomit...Wish me luck! P.S. You guys are all AWESOME

So, things have been getting bk to normal since the April 25th sleeve. Last night I was even able to sit up long enough to feed my 2 toddlers dinner. THEN I SCREWED UP BIG TIME.... I guess with all the normalcy around me, I forgot that I had just had surgery & put a forkful of tomato basil pasta in my mouth.... When i swallowed I IMMEDIATELY remembered, bc it severely HURT going down. I got so SCARED. The noises my stomach was making sounded like a garbage truck! I was pain for about 2 hours, from ONE forkful of pasta. Has this happened to anyone else?

That is going to be my biggest hurdle, learning to CHEW instead of Bite & swallow!!!!!

You guys are awesome! ❤️❤️ thanks for responding. And I'm glad I can be the guinea pig Lol! You know, I was reminded last night that the whole reason I chose the sleeve is because I lacked the WILL POWER to stop mindless eating. I eat as much as my kids do when I'm SUPPOSED to be feeding them, smh.

Plenty of Water. PLENTY. Juices will taste like syrup, so water will be on your friend. Also, lying down flat is no longer an option for me, so a good support pillow will be a life saver! God Bless

Feel like I have been hit by a bus

I was sent home with a pain pump/fanny pack thingy.. Does anyone else have this? I swear mine isn't giving me enough pain medicine, lol

Thanks!! I truly didn't anticipate this type of pain, lol.., but I am a bit of a wimp.

. Me too!!!

So I feel like I've gotta eat a salad or something.. I've been doing 80 ounces of water a day, protein shakes & little bits of granola, if I feel myself getting light headed. But I have never craved a salad & grilled chkn breast like I do at this moment. I get my sleeve on 4/25/14... I feel like I need to eat NOW

Thank you for the motivation I'm really starting to realize just how dependent I am on food. This process is painful physically & mentally. But I CAN DO THIS!! ( gonna keep repeating that to myself )

I cheated today... Uuugh! And I cheated BADDD. I had honey chicken with a little white rice. OMG.. It tasted AMAZING. But the guilt was so overwhelming. I MUST keep my eyes on the goal. I think this would be a lot easier if I didn't have to cook for my family every night. I have a husband, 11 year old and 1 & 2 yro toddlers. Does anyone else have to cook for others while on the liquid diet?

Hi everybody!! My surgery is April 25th & I CANNOT WAIT! But this liquid diet is killing me. I'm soo hungry ????
