lakobe00 63 Posted December 26, 2012 I had my surgery on Dec. 18 in NYC. Would love to hear from others around the same time. I had mine Dec.10....I'm having a really hard time getting Protein down and all my liquids. I started purees yesterday....I had red snapper fish with liquid on it to keep it mushy....a half tap of potato salad.....I feel amazing in spite of the limited protein.

Yael770 10 Posted December 26, 2012 Hi December Sleevers!! I was sleeved 12/20 and feeling good. As an extra added bonus, my gallbladder was removed (it contained a very large stone) and I also had a hiatial hernia repair!! I'm down over 13 pounds since starting the pre-op diet on 12/1/12. Last night noticed a warm, red area above IV site. Dr. looked at it today and thinks its an infection. So now I have to fit a liquid antibiotic into my liquid schedule 3 times a day! Ha. I acutally started a spread sheet in EXCEL, adjust the times each morning according to when I get up, and print it each day. I have a personalized schedule for the day and check each item off as I go. Seems to be working. Anyone else out there have to self inject Claxon to prevent clots? I've been doing that myself since my 2nd day home. Only 5 days left for that. Kinda freaked me out. Glad I went through with my decision!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsThickSlimSexy 65 Posted December 26, 2012 Hey congrats on loss! Aside from infection you sound like all us well. I had to do 10 day Enoxaparin Sodium Injection it was not a big deal since I had done HCG Injections, but I will say the last 2-3 border on painful with little more burn than usual. I'm losing slow but losing all the same. I plan on doing liquid diet until Jan 1 then moving to purses. Hopefully, it aids in a loss if not no harm. Also, plan to step up my exercise. I plan on being a HUGE success! Good luck & keep in touch. 2 Yael770 and ShrinkyDinkMe22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CathyA72 47 Posted December 27, 2012 Well today was my first day of soft foods. I was so excited!! Had an egg and some melted cheese. Could only get half of it down. Still was the best egg I've ever eaten. 3 ladyhummingbird, deeriggs and mandyMO reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decembersleever 154 Posted December 29, 2012 Ok my fellow sleevers. I was sleeved on 12/26 and trying to figure out what I can get down. Ive tried chicken broth (can get a couple of teaspoons down before my stomach tells me that's enough) ive tried SF Jello with the same results. I have been sipping Water all day. Am I being too impatient ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamondkized 70 Posted December 29, 2012 I just had some refried Beans. They are delish! I'm doing better this week. Was having a hard time trying to get all my liquids in. But everyday is getting better. i was sleeved the same day and i cannot tolerate the Protein Shakes they make my stomach hurt. i tried to eat chili with no beans or meat so basically the sauce and it was good. i am trying to do better with liquids too! on another note- i made a mistake of trying to eat a quarter size piece of hamburger and i almost burst and it came right up. thats what i get !
