Can someone add me to the secret group on FB?

Some of you are so lucky! Week 1 - Clear liquids Weeks 2 and 3 - full liquids Week 4 - purée Week 5 - transitioning to regular food Just finished day 5 of week 2. Still have 10 more days until purée!!!

Hello all! I am 8 post-op and feeling really good. I am able to get all my liquids and Proteins in every day. I just had an entire can of cream of mushroom Soup for dinner. Are you supposed to wait 30 minutes after "eating" when you are on full liquids? Also, I have zero problem drinking large quantities. Is this normal?? Is it possible to expand my sleeve with liquids? I try to drink and sip as slowly as possible, but the time it takes me to drink things (or even eat the soup) doesn't seem as different as before.

I wouldn't say I'm scarfing down liquids. I am just surprised that I am able to tolerate getting all my fluids in without any pain or discomfort. I am 100% on program and following all of my instructions. I was just curious if it was normal to do this and feel okay. Guess not?

I don't know!! I slowly built up from the beginning and now it feels completely normal. It's worrying me!

I was sleeved Wednesday of last week. I am feeling better and better every day, it really is amazing! I can drink much more today than yesterday. Starting to feel more and more that this was the right decision for me. I would live to be friends too!

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I am 3 days out from surgery and it is so much tougher than I had imagined. I had to stay an extra night due to naseau. Now, I am sipping all day but was only able to get through half of one 8 oz shake. I am working on some Water now. I know it will get better, but I am just feeling so awful, almost like it will always feel this way...I just want to get back to feeling better again!

Thanks for the encouragement. It is a bit better today. Have drank 4 oz of my Protein shake (15 g) and will try get more down in a little while. Have had 1/2 of my 17 oz bottle of Water. Not too bad I suppose. I just can't wait to feel better!

Hi vgsjourney, my nutritionist said to drink shakes and that protein was most important. She even let me make it with half milk since I don't really like them with water. She said if I can tolerate it, I can even have it with with 8oz fat free milk.
