Tomorrow is SLEEVE DAY!

[sleeve 4 me 910]

1. I drank a small can of V8 yesterday and finished it with NO PAIN yayyy! So that was huge for me.

I'm glad to hear your pain is gone!

2. I never feel hungry, I do get thirsty (probably because I'm still not at 64 oz.).

I still have yet to feel a hunger pang! I think that is the GREATEST part of my sleeve experience. I had problems drinking enough fluids, too. I had to really discipline myself to have something handy and sip.sip.sip all day long. I still have problems drinking enough fluids. I wish I could guzzle it like I used to!

3. I can't even think about Protein right now,still trying to get all my fluids in. Once I starting eating I will try and eat high Protein items if possible.

Are you using Liquid Protein? It's so important for healing...

4. My body is tired ...I see on many posts others going on trips, and outings and feeling fine, but that's not me at all. I can't even go out for an 1 hour without feeling totally drained. I'm so happy I took a month off.

I was tired a lot, too. It will pass. I'm glad you're listening to your body. It's great that you have a month to recuperate!

I'm watching for your posts to follow your progress! It's going to be great when you start posting your "shout outs!"

Thanks Breezy...hugs :001_huh:

Do you get to start the "mushies" tomorrow?

Yesss! I really want to know exactly what that means (what foods) LOL. I'm anxious to start them only so I can get some Protein in. I get super full, super fast on Soups, so I don't know how I will do with the "mushies"...

Congrats on making it to Onederland! Yippee!

As for the soft foods, my nutritionist said that runs anywhere from purees to cottage cheese to soft scrambled eggs to flakey fish. Have you seen the website theworldaccordingtoeggface She's got really great recipes for all stages and she also has a section for pureed foods. I'm going to try the ricotta bake today. I've heard people here and on Obesity Help rave about it.

Hope you're feeling even better today!

Are you kidding? Eight pounds is a lot. I think you are doing great.

Good thing you took a month off. I only took off two weeks and I have to go back to work on Monday. The good thing is that I have a desk job and work from home. It should be fine.
