I was sleeved on 9/5 and am doing great. My incisions are the only thing that makes me even feel like I had surgery. I have no more pain, gas, nausea, etc. I'm getting used to the pureed food diet but definitely looking forward to moving on to the next stage in a few weeks. I'm down 24 pounds since surgery!

I was sleeved on 9/10 and so far am down 12 pounds from the morning of my surgery.

I still have one more week on the full liquid diet - I can't wait to get to my soft food phase.

I was sleeved on the 7th. Doctor said I could start trying any food I want on my post op visit on the 18th. So I have tried turkey, chicken, ham and veggies. Cut up small and chewed good. I have had no problems. Down 17 pounds in 13 days. So basically I skipped the puréed diet part. I know everyone and every doctor is different and it also depends on what size boogie your docs use. Mine used a 40 boogie. Tomorrow is my birthday and I plan to try to eat chicken fajita meat. The only thing is, after 3 bites I am full.

I was sleeved on the 14th, only stayed one night in hospital and no pain meds needed once home. One week tomorrow and down 10 lbs since surgery, ready to move from clear liquids to full liquids tomorrow! Feel good no problems!

Had surgery, have some gas pains. This was tougher than I thought it was going to be. But now feeling better after getting some Water and broth.< /p>

What really help: biotene for dry mouth, walking and to pee put my tounge on top of roof of mouth. Someone mentioned that on the forums here.

Thanks all for the replies.

I was sleeved September 14th and today I am down 21 lbs! surgery was no big deal at all.. with the exception of my reaction to anesthesia. Both times I have had surgery I woke up VIOLENTLY ill and so I spent the first night after surgery violently dry heaving into a trash can... threw up so hard I had broken blood vessels on my face LOL I was worried that I mighta busted my staple line or something it was so bad but 2 leak tests were perfect and after the vomiting that first night I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I only needed minor pain meds that first night of surgery and then none after that. I was even sleeping on my stomach the 2nd night LOL have only had nausea one time since and it lasted about 15 minutes after I ate one too many bites of a creamy Soup.. still trying to get used to knowing when I'm full and so far the best way for me to tell is that I start burping hahaha I eat VERY slow now too. I was on clear liquids for 1 week and now full liquids for 1 week then I can try out some pureed foods. I am taking it slow though, I wanna keep Elvira (that's what I named my sleeve) happy!!!

As of today I feel that this is one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself! I am SO glad I did this and I feel blessed that I've had such an easy recovery!
