[DallasMomofTwins 31]

I was sleeved on 9/12 and am on a modified liquid diet for another 2 weeks or so..it is getting me down because i am so damn tired off Protein Shakes and pureed Soup. I feel ready to move to soft foods but will not do anythng to jeopardize my recovery so i will not go against drs orders...i feel like i cannot make it ...any coping tips are appreciated..,

I totally understand!!! I am in the same boat so I don't have any tips. I went to see my doctor today and expected to progress to pureed food. That was not the case. It's going to be another week of Clear liquids. At least u get to have things other than clears. :-|

We will get through it. 6 days to go!

Stay strong! Go for a walk, read, get on the phone and talk to someone, play a game on the computer. This liquid diet will be a faint memory before too long, I promise. Good luck you you both!

OMG me too!!! I was sleeved on 9/15 and as much as I know this was for the better, this 2 week liquid is killing me plus my throat STILL hurts. The gas has subsided but the air when taking in fluids is still painful. I've had all I can stand with the Protein Shakes. I've had quite the variety and found powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and chike is the best tasting Protein for me. I'm going to try freezing it to maybe an soft ice cream state. I will let you know how that turns out. I was told clear liquid so puree soup is not on my plan yet, just broth. Unjury makes a chicken soup that was bareable until today. Will not be going back there either. What I am allowed is the sugar free pops that helps me feel a bit normal at this point. And I indulge in ice chips a lot. I don't know why but it takes my mind off of eating. I go back to my doctor for my first checkup on Monday. If he says anything ... any words involving extending Clear Liquids I will loose the last bit of sanity I have!

Folks here keep saying it will get better...man I can't wait!. Best of luck with your sleeve.

Hi DallasMom,

I remember replying to a thread wishing you luck before your surgery. Maybe try to remember all the reason why you did this and how excited you were when you finally got your date? I haven't been sleeved yet so I really have no right to say anything but I bet that this too shall pass. Things will get better, just hang in there!
