Pudding is my fav lol. I am on day 8 as surgery was Oct 16. I have oatmeal and creamy soups with mushed carrots. I'll do rutabaga tomorrow. Greek yogurt I tried again today. It has been giving me the runs. Trying to balance getting 60 to 80 grams of protein ( seems impossible) and drinking water. I love this sleeve!

Day 1 I have 5 sips of beef broth. I was sipping very little water. Day 2 I have 6 licks of popsicle and 5 spoons of cream of chicken soup. Day 3 I had 7 spoons of cream of tomato and almost 1/3 of yogurt. Almost full cup of water all day. Day 4 I managed to eat a whole jello. Took 3 hours but I did it. Then bam. Next thing I knew I was feeling "hungry" and had 1/2 cup of soup 2 times. I'm day 7 today and already had 1 cup of shake I made with strawberries, banana and choc whey. I'll have at least 3 cups of soup and mushed up carrots to add to my soups.

I had gallstone attacks often. I'm so happy to have been sleeved and my gallbladder out. Today is 1 week and I feel alive!!!!

I have wondered the same...how will I know??? I do get heavy feeling. I burp lots more and have gotten hiccups. I love my sleeve. I feel like my old stomach was a dud. Lol

I'm 1 week out and surprised myself on how much I am handling. I have been sipping and so careful but my sleeve doesnt mind anything! Made cream of Potatoe with mushed carrots and cheese yesterday and got 1 cup in me in 30 min. Today I had a great smoothie with whey protein.

Surgery was October 16th so almost 4 days later now. Was in hospital until yesterday. Acid reflux and nausea was bad first 2 days and I could only do a few spoonfuls but I was even able to get cream soup and yogurt down day 2 and 3. Today is my first day "hungry" and I've had a full jello, pudding and 1 cup of soup. I had my gallbladder out at same time. I walked the block. I'm feeling great. I don't mind sipping. My prepop diet I lost 29 pounds. Haven't weighed in yet since. All I know is I am on the right track and I feel great!

My date was Oct 23 and was moved today to Oct 16 A full week!!!! I had to cancel a conference but overall I'm ready.

I'm stuck doing 21 days of ensure meal replacements only. It's hard!

No I'm only allowed 5 ensure HP and 4 additional cups of water or tea. No food at all.

I just started my 21 days today. Only ensure high protein. I think about food way too much!

I have over 200 to lose. Surgery is 23 days away!

I'm so emotional myself and I don't start liquid diet until Thursday. I have my last meal tomorrow.

Hi Joan...yes its a lot of hoops for sure but they really teach you tools that will prepare you for lifelong health. I did start my process in 2012 but I declined surgery then. I only decided I wanted surgery this February. Met the surgeon in April. It took me less then 6 months and it's local and free. I'll be at Peter lougheed. I just stocked up on my ensure high protein. Keep in touch. Would be great to go thru this with ppl.

Hi Everyone I'm scheduled for Sleeve on Oct 23rd!!! I start my Ensure HP diet for 21 day on Oct 2nd.. It's gonna be challenging not to have anything but Ensure shakes for that long but it's just a few days ... right!!!

Hi Ladies I'm in Calgary and scheduled for sleeve Oct 23rd, 2014. I start my ensure HP only for 21 days on Oct 2nd. There is a great weight clinic here in the city for these surgeries.. interested why people are flying and paying for this? If there is a need for surgery then Alberta health does cover it. Look forward to chatting!
