2/6 Sleevers Check In

[ByeByeBigGirl 10]

Hey sleeve buddies! I went for my one week check up on Monday. Everything going well. So far I'm down 10 pounds since surgery. Woo hoo but damn I am sick of liquids! Bring on the mush! Doctor said technically I start on Monday but he wouldn't be opposed if I started on Friday as long as I can tolerate it. Blended Soup is so not appetizing but it does the job. Learning my new tummy is interesting. Strange sensations but no pain and just a little discomfort from time to time. Has anyone else noticed bad hunger breath since surgery?

Oh yes..the breath is awful...I have to continue to brush my teeth and keep the listerine strips close....I have my 8 day check up today and I got my staples out..Yeah!!!! I have noticed the when I get up in the morning my energy level is at 0%..I take my Multivitamin and drink some Protein and I start to get better...I tried some pureed food last night..NOT A GOOD THING!! and oh boy my dr was like oh no ma'am FULL liquids ONLY.....I am not drinking the Protein shakes right now because the preop diet just overwhelmed me with the shakes a day....I am drinking Isopure, Water, Popsicles, and Jello. My dr told me I can't start pureed food until Week 4. So I am still on liquids for now. I weighed in today at the dr and I was 221.5..10.7 lbs since surgery and 27.5 overall...But overall I am headed in the right direction.. My motivation jeans are still not where I want them to be..still a little snug...but I know its coming

We are in week 3!! How's everyone doing? I ended up taking an extra week off work. Had a hard time progressing from liquids to soft mushies because my sleeve had swollen in an hourglass shape, but much better now and feeling pretty good! Energy is coming back! Still can't get all of my fluids in, but I'm working on it. Finally started walking 2 miles a day...better late than never! Hope you are all doing great!!

OMG..I hope all is well, I had to spend the night Tuesday night b/c I was severly dehydrated. So am back on clears until Friday, then back on full liquids for the next week. I did meet with a dietician during my stay and she really put things in prespective for me. Today was a better day, I actually had energy this morning, something that hasn't happened in over a week.

I will send well wishes your way!!!! This is a journey for us, I know that, Whew!!!

I been feeling good. Lost 19 so far including pre op 1 week liquid diet.Feels slow to me but I KNOW I couldn't do that on my own! Today is the 1st day I ever had any problems... Pretty sure I had the slimes! It was an awful feeling and I know I just ate too fast! WON'T be doing that again. I still feel kinda crappy and that was almost 5 hrs ago so I'm just gonna do liquids the rest of he nite. Other than this one incident I have not had any problems eating or drinking. Thank goodness!
