I am 3 weeks post op- no issues at all- down 25 punds. My hips and face are much slimmer- stomache still seems bloated and scars are ugly...i am being patient! I am not much into mushee foods and doctor had said things llike Wendys Chilli is ok- and puree only if needed. So i am eating some eggs, devilled crabs, chili, fish, tuna fish and still drinking a lot of Protein. *eating a couple of fries when hs=usband has them- just to get the salt taste! Protein shakes are easier than cooking a big meal just to eat 2 spoonfuls. Once i have the go ahead to eat more solid things i think i can get better at meals.. I am not good at watching the clock- does anyone know why we wait 15 min after drinking before eating and 1.5 hours after eating to drink? Am trying to go slow with the drinking but would help me do better if i understood the why!

so - aside from tired of liquids.... how sick/in pain should i be expecting after surgery next week? I thought i had read 2-3 days of aches.... i am already cranky- sounding like i should warn my husband that the next 2-3 weeks will suck! I am tired a lot i have been on liquid diet for 10 days (down 15 punds) I am cranky- not sure if stress or because i am tired.... poor husband... what is the next month going to look like? My daughter is coming home to stay with me- I was picturing mother daugh.. now thinking she will have an invalid to look after? Details please of what to expect (pre-op visit is thursday so i can ask my doc too!)

i have read and been told that the sleeve postop just feels like you have done too many situps... this post is a little scarier! what should I be expecting? surgery is next week!

Surgery is Feb 10th! pre-op liquid diet has me down 15 pounds in a week. I am cranky according to my husband! not hungry though!

what is a normal day of food for those of you that did the sleeve a while back?

I am not excessively large, but have apnea and asthma so i keep on a roller coaster. I am planning on having the sleeve done in January if insurance approves... keep feeling like i am taking a short cut.... for those of you who have done this... would you recommend it? would you do it again?
