Awesome!! I had a wonderful experience today. I told my self that I wasn't going to go out and buy a bunch of new clothes right away, so, I went to the Goodwill just to get a pair of jeans, as mine are too big. I have to say, it felt great to walk right by the size 20, 18, 16.... I stopped at size 14, found a good pair, tried them on AND THEY FIT... Even had. A little breathing room in them!!! YAY!!!! Felt so good. Just had to share that experience. Definitely on my way to a better, healthier me!!! Also, thank you all for the wonderful support!! Will do another update in a couple of days.

Thanks wadetb7". It's not easy but I'm doing my best. Making sure I stay true to the strict diet and follow all my doctors orders. Also, the friendship and support on here is awesome!!

thanks for the tips Sarah.You're welcome Stacie. I'm here if you need anything. We are all in this together. It's really nice to have the support. Keep me updated. And I will keep you updated as well.

hi Sarah yes I just got home. My husband and sons got me all set up in my room and they left to go do the grocery shopping. I'm feeling good finally passing gas so it's a good sign. Also,just had my first sips of protein shake and no issues. Tomorrow I can. Start soft foods. I did take some pain mess after getting home since it was an jour drive so I'm ready for a nap. Thanks for checking on me.No problem. Glad you are home. Sounds like your husband and sons are taking really good care of you. I remember when I finally passed gas, it was a major relief. Good to hear that you are tolerating the protein shake. Just remember, go slow, especially when starting new foods. Also, I've learned definitely do not eat and drink at same time especially with starting soft foods. You really want about 30 minutes between drinking and eating. Will check in with you tomorrow.

just got back from a walk. dde04 and hoping to get some sleep tonight if others around me will not be snoring I loud and then another guy just keeps yelling at the nursesHi Stacie. How are you doing today? We're you able to go home today? Hope you were able to get some sleep last night. Let me know how things are going. I'm doing good. One more week on puréed diet then I move up to soft foods. I really don't feel hungry at all.

Wow. The pain will slowly go away. Just make sure to keep walking. It really helps. And get rest. Hopefully you will be able to get home tomorrow. Glad to hear the surgery went well.

Hi all fellow sleevers. Mine was done on June 2, 2014. Been feeling pretty good so far. Had one dumping incident but that's all. I've lost 24 pounds so far since surgery.

Hi. I am also a June 2, 2014 sleever. Lost 24 pounds so far since surgery

Good luck Stacie

Good luck Patricia

Just did a weight check this morning. I've lost another 4 pounds since surgery. That's a total of 24 pounds since June 2!!! So excited!! Doing good on puréed diet so far. I did drink my water a little to fast last night and had a dumping incident. Not fun.

Day 14 post-op. Had drs appointment this after noon. Lost 20 pounds since surgery. Yay!! Also, started puréed diet today. Had some tuna fish. So far so good. No nausea, vomiting or pain in my stomach. Still some slight pulling but that is just healing. I'm on the right track. Next appt. is in 4 weeks for post op with surgeon.

sounds like you are doing ok. I do have to say I was so relieved to get the drain out on the 9th. As soon as it came out, my shoulder pain was gone. But, that was really the most pain I had was shoulder pain. It was really bad whenever I tried to lay down. I just couldn't get comfortable. Monday I start my puréed diet. Will definitely post in here on Monday after my appointment with Dr. Bruce.

I feel the same way sometimes! I was sleeved June 2nd and haven't been sick once! I did feel nauseous the first week every now and then but I took a zofran and drank some water and I was fine. I know how you feel. I had a hiatal hernia repair done at same time as sleeve as well. I have to be careful when I eat and drink because I have no really no pain just a little pulling and I feel like I can swallow anything. I had one bout of nausea post op it lasted about ten minutes and that was it. My sleeve was done on June 2. Monday starts my puréed diet. I will not miss this liquid diet at all.

Hi. I am new here. I had my sleeve surgery on June 2, 2014. Staples and drain were removed on Monday. I've lost 19 pounds post surgery so far. I have my next dr appt on Monday. I have a question, is it ok to not be able to tolerate more than 4 ounces? Sometimes I don't even get quite 4 ounces in at a time. I am scheduled to start puréed diet on Monday as well. Any suggestions on what's good and healthy for me to have? Glad I found this forum.

I'm a June 2, 2014 sleever. Feeling ok so far. Had staples and drain removed on Monday June 9th. On Monday the 16th I start puréed diet. A little nervous on what exercises I can safely do. I have lost 19 pounds since surgery.

You look great! I just had my sleeve surgery on the 2nd of June. I've lost 19 pounds since surgery. Starting puréed diet on Monday

You look great! I just had my sleeve surgery on the second. Lost 19 pounds so far
