Glad you are recovering so well. I had an easy recovery too, but a bit of a word of warning - easy does it! I was feeling awesome about a week out until I overdid it one day with shopping, decorating, baking, etc. and woke up with stomach pain at 3:00 in the a.m....thought I had a leak and was freaking out. I realized that I just did too much that day and needed to give myself a break, so the next day was bedrest and I was feeling better. Just don't want you do too much too soon. :)

How about eating. I tried some real Soup (not broth) and I am miserable. I was sleeved in the 10th.

I had a couple of bites and stopped. I go to mushy stuff on Saturday and I am a bit skeptical about doing so. What are you eating. Still full liquids?

Well during the clear liquid stage I was having really bad heartburn and as soon as I went to full liquids I made a nice soup very well blended and I haven't had heartburn since....just make sure there are no really solid parts of that soup.....I guess u can say the soup actually helped me...

It feels great to hear that. i could imagine your cloud 9 status. However you got to stick to low calorie diet now and follow a healthy living through nice work out each day.

Good luck

Your absolutely right....today I joined the gym and began light working out....I'm still in the full liquid stage so nothing too solid as of yet but I'm looking forward to embracing my new low calorie life style.. Thanks for your encouragement:)

Be very careful. I was sleeved 12-10 and I felt soooo good that I finished up my shopping. Baking and all the Christmas things that have to be done this time of year AND bam!!! It came up to bite me in the butt. One of my incisions is extremely painful. I have to lay low and wear this waist band around my midsection. Feels like someone is stabbing me in the gut. So this girls is laying down and taking it easy for a few more days.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
