Mine was March 8, And I also haven't experienced any thing I can't tolerate. I'm eating about 3-4oz each meal and am also feeling great, I'm down 40 lbs!

I had surgery on a Tuesday, went home Wednesday, and was feeling "normal"( lol as normal as you can feel eating clear liquids only) by Saturday, I went to a birthday party Saturday and Sunday was with my sister all day when she went to the hospital, so depending on your job and how you heal, Monday would have been fine for me.

I'm about the same as you I'm 6 1/2 weeks out and down 37lbs, I woulda been happy with 20lb loss!!

I had surgery 3/8/16 and can drink ice water fine now, the first couple weeks I had half water/low cal juice, I think it was around 1 month water started tasting good again, but cold water in the morning is still a no, it's like I can feel it hitting the bottom of my stomach...

When I took my measurements and they were all within an inch of my measurements from 10yrs ago, my highest weight , which I said I would never go back to!

I'm about 6 weeks out and I usually get about 3-4 hiccups and I know I'm done eating, I kind of like the signal, usually right before my 1/3 cup is eaten...

I'm close to 6 weeks out and my plan didn't call for any protein on my 1st week of clear diet either... I started drinking protein drinks during my 2nd week in full liquids, I don't think it's the norm however.... My energy has been fine, I do wonder about the whole hair loss thing though! Praying for the best!!

My stats are close to yours, and when I was doing my preop tests the other people there doing their testing almost ignored me when I tried to talk with them about our upcoming surgerys.... I also know people who have had it done who probably are trying to get to my pre weight and act like I wasn't big enough to have it done.. Everyone's journeys different I just try to not be as judge mental as they are!

Idk shirts might be ok but pants are a whole different deal.. I have some size 16s that should fit perfect now.... But they don't, lol and I don't think I will ever like how they fit!

Has anyone else that had surgery in early March moved to food now? I've been allowed since Tuesday to move to mostly everything chewed well... salad is on my ok list but I'm kind of scared to try it? I haven't had any problems with anything and I measure 1/3 or weigh out 3 oz, usually I stop at about 3/4 the way through.... I've been getting my fluids and aiming for 65g Protein a day, my dietician never gave me any guidelines for protein just to eat them first... I never even had Protein drinks on my plan..... After Clear liquids I started drinking Protein shakes to ensure I was getting some... I'm down 25lb as of yesterday at my 1 month since surgery! I'm 5'2 and am aiming for 135, the RN at my Drs office gave me a goal weight of 150 because she said too many times do wls patients choose a goal that isn't what there body should be at and are disappointed when they gain back some after reaching their personal goal, she said that she would be happy to see me reach that.. I told her I would reassess my goal when I reached hers! But to even reach 150 is crazy to me!!! So anyhow I don't do social media, so I haven't joined any fb groups just come on bp to read everyone's journeys and such!

On the day I had my preop done, I sat in the waiting room with a lady who was "warning" me to stick to my post op instructions, because she had eaten raw bell peppers during her first week out and had to have another surgery to have them removed....

Do you have friends coming to see you? My sister was suppose to take me home but had to work, so when my friend came to visit I politely told her she was giving me a ride home!!!!

Yes from all the iv fluids they have you on!

I had my 3 wk appt. yesterday down 22 lbs since 3/8, I'm on puréed foods until next Tuesday then I progress to soft foods, I am usually eating 2oz to 1/3 cup depending on what it is, I've notice my full signal is hiccups (or I'm eating to fast lol). The dietician said I need to up my liquids and not to include other liquids (like sf Popsicles) in my total, that those would be extra..... But other than that I'm still in the same size, just baggy (because I prolly shoulda been in the next size of everything!!)

They left my catheter in all day until the next afternoon, so I couldn't wear my pants lol... All I needed was the extension cord and phone charger, other than that I watched there tv, my hospital had movies sorta like Netflix and everything else I brought stayed in my bag!

I was sleeved on 3/8 @ 2pm and was on the morphine drip thing until that evening when I stopped pushing the button because I knew from my previous c-secs that it made me feel worse than any pain, the nurses told me that if I didn't get the morphine for a certain amount of time they could start me on the every 4 hr pain medicine, that was much better it just made me tired.... I walked at the hospital but didn't have any gas pains really and was able to tolerate my clears, just very slowly. They gave me a patch behind my ear for nausea and meds too, luckily I didn't puke. I felt better around day 5 and have not felt week or too tired. (Both the surgeries I've had ended with a baby also, it's still a hospital so sleeping was difficult but without the new baby made it easier!)

I was just wondering all this information! I've read that people get restriction when moving on to solids but wasn't sure the type of journey they've had. I've progressed through clears, full liquid and now on puréed without feeling restriction or any complications, I stop after a few tablespoons or 2 oz because that's what I was told and I have no hunger so no point to eat more than that! It's nice to read about people having a similar experience as me.

Good luck to the surgeries this week![emoji109]

The search is missing on my iOS also

I had 2 c-secs and recovered pretty quickly, was up walking the night of.... This was less painful then the c-secs in my opinion, the soreness is comparable but not the same incision pain, if that makes sense, I'm almost 2 weeks out and feel like I have more energy than before!

If you have a Winco they have an unflavored protein in the bulk section, so you don't have to buy a lot to test it out!

After surgery it gets much easier hunger wise, The liquids are boring but the hunger isn't there...[emoji3]

11 lbs @ my 1 week apt on Tuesday! I'm trying not to weigh until Tuesday's, lol kinda hard tho! You?

I was sleeved 3/8 (Tuesday) and I've been driving since Saturday, I was off the pain meds and I actually feel full of energy! I accidentally lifted my 20lb neice without thinking about it on Sunday! no pain and I was fine at my 1 week, they said around 10lb limit still though......

When I had the mirena I had 1 child previously, and there was some cramping when it was inserted then a little bleeding, not bad for the 5 yrs of birth control and not having to take a pill everyday!! [emoji6]
