[alwayshavefaith 1]

Hello everyone! Today I am down 16 pounds in 7 days! I just wanted to say thanks for all the support I couldn't get through this without each of you! I am feeling pretty good now but having a lot of what I think is hunger pains but not sure. I want to eat something so bad! Lol! Anyway I am doing better getting down my liquids than I was. I was having a hard time with nausea but it has gotten better and I'm picking up my fluids and going to town. Good luck sleevers and I pray for us all!

Good to hear you are doing well. Im day 9 today and just starting to have hunger thoughts. All last week when I thought I was hungry, I was really just thirsty. Take it slow on starting foods. What did you doctor say you can have week two? Amazing how each doctor is different. I'm still on liquids. Any type and try to get my carbs in.

Congrats on the loss. I'm also a week out today. I'm down 4 pounds from my pre-surgery weight. But if you count the 10 pounds I gained in the hospital (gas and IV fluids) I'm down 14. In your 16 pound loss are you counting pre- or post- surgery? A loss is a loss and to be celebrated, im just curious.

I was sleeved on 6/13/12 and I was on just liquids till yesterday. The first week was nothing but Clear Liquids then the next two weeks was clear liquids and protien shakes. I did notice once I started the protien shakes, I did start to feel hungry a little. But usually it was around the time for the next shake and it would go away for awhile after the shake. I did start picking at food as I was cooking for my family and for an entire week, I didn't lose any weight even though the rest of the time I did nothing but liquids. Live and learn I guess..... lol ..... Now I get to start mushy protien and veggies for the next two weeks. I found it hard yesterday to finish 3oz of protien and 3oz of veggies. Started to hurt a little in my chest while eating, so I stopped. I guess that's a good thing in a way. Good luck to you both and here's to success for all of us.

My doctor said 2 weeks of liquids and then after 2 weeks of liquids start the pureed food. Not sure how to do a pureed diet that's going to be intresting. Lol! If you have suggestions I'm all ears! I weighed myself the morning of surgery and was 289 and now I'm 273. I also weighed when I got home from surgery the next day and still weighed 289 so since I've been home I have lost 16lbs.

That is awesome! I'm on 2 weeks of liquids (day 5) then on to 2 weeks of puréed. I'm thinking puréed Soups, not sure what else. Right now I have to purée and strain my Soups. Oh, yeah, and I think I can add yogurt during the puréed phase.

I'm 9 days post sleeve and I'm down 18 lbs as of yesterday. 5 more days on a liquid diet then can start mushy food. My nutritionist suggested scramble eggs. Just make them really soft and I heard adding cottage cheese to it makes it even softer. I'm also looking for other suggestions on soft foods to eat. Though I cannot wait to eat again, I'm really nervous and hesitant on how my new stomach is going to react.

Hey girls!

Glad to see some people that were sleeved around the same time as I was, June 28th. My diet is 7 days of clear liquid all I had was sugar free Jello, and SF popcycles and crystal light lemonaid. I'll be honest I disnt get a lot of Protein in, but I was good taking in liquids. The chockem broth was making me vomit just from the smell!!!!My nutritionist gave me the ok to have a Protein shake yesterday. I had a smoothie king gladiator with strawberries and mangoes. It was so good!! It lasted me all day. Today I could start on creamy Soups and I made a lowfat potatoe Soup replaced cream with chicken broth and a little low fat sour cream. I puréed it really good and was able to have four small spoonfuls. It was so good to taste something normal!! I did put some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder in it. Some other souls you could do a puréed black bean Soup.< /p>

Would love to hear more of what you guys are trying and eating!!

I've lost 20lbs since being home!!! But I did gain 7 from my surgery.

I was sleeved on 6/25. I lost 10 pounds pre op. I have no idea how much I gained in fluids in the hospital but I have lost 8 pounds post op. my doctor gave me a week of clears. A week of full liquid ( which I'm on now), week 3 is puréed, week 4 is mushies, week 5 is soft and week six is gradually introducing regular food. Today I broke down and had 7 small watermelon balls. I squished them to liquid in my mouth and chewed the mush to liquid. Do you all think that is considered full liquid? It was wonderful
