Me too. Use to hate Greek yogurt but now it is yummy. I'm still on full fluids so that's as far as I can go for now but the puréed stage should prove interesting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys, I'm 7/15. I'm doing well overall but I'm just so darn sore and it seems like I'm sore everywhere. From my head to my legs. My incisions are itchy but sore. Im able to get close to the 60g Protein daily (52ish) and close to the 64oz. I'm just so darn tired of sipping. I'm still having a hard time establishing a good pattern of bowel movements (sorry, TMI). I also still can't sleep on either side comfortably and that frustrating. No issues of nausea but did take some of my acid reflux medicine for the first time today. Thinking about adding some GasX to help in that department. Adding one more medication makes me cringe but if takes some of this discomfort away I'm game at this point. food has really been the last thing on my mind but I am looking forward to the puréed stage. I think once I start chewing something I'll start to feel normal again. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm still full liquid but I think puréed can be a creamy consistentcy as long as there are no chunks. Be sure to chew and chew. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Alex_Lycan thanks!! I've been so focused on the must do list I didn't even think about sugar free gum. Good to know it goes away. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm post-op 6 days (July 15) and I can not get rid of this constant bad take in my mouth. It makes everything taste the same on this Full liquids diet and recently has me on a thin line between nausea and not. I brush my teeth constantly. Any suggestions?

I woke up with a drain, catheter, oxygen, and IV. I was more concerned about the guy next to me as they kept telling him to breath. I remember people talking to me but was in a state of confusion until I got to my room and family. They take great care of you so I was never scared. Some pain and was introduced to my little button. All other tubs didn't bother me. I kept telling everyone that I needed to have my surgery, thinking I had not had it done. You'll get through it!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just got home from being sleeved on July 15th. The day after is painful and you will be uncomfortable. It is very hard at first to put anything in your mouth. Day two you should start sipping as much as you can and walk to help with the gas pain. Don't fool yourself...this is a major surgery and you'll feel it. Just keep your sights on the goal and you'll be fine. The only thing I remember the day of is kissing family members an being rolled into the OR. I didn't even know they had already given me the meds to put me out. The next thing I know was waking up in recovery groggy and not knowing where I was. Soon after that I was reunited with family and told it was a four hour procedure and I was going to be very sore. Just trying to find a liquid I can actually tolerate. Best of luck to those going soon and know that everything gets better each day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Leaving for the hospital in 30 minutes. So nervous I'm shaking but anxious to be on the other side. Best of luck to those getting sleeves today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I go tomorrow as well and would be lying if I didn't say I was nervous. No problem with the liquid diet today since I don't even want to think about anything going in my mouth. Looking at everyone's post-op post this is completely normal and just some anticipation anxiety. Think of it this way, this time next week you'll be well into recovery. Best of luck and prayers for everyone going tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm journaling my experience on FB at Lisa's Lost Log. I'm having surgery on July 15th. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We have the same date!! I'm feeling the same way. I've never had surgery before and that's what scares me. I talked to my doctor about it and he was very supportive and put me at ease. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went through some doubt too but the closer to my date I get the more excited and the less worried I get. You've got this!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

July 15th!! I'm nervous but excited. Never had surgery before. I'm on day 9 of my two week liquid diet and some days have been hard but now that I'm 10 lbs down I think the next few days will be easier. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
