To All My Fellow June Sleevers........

[NikNakMcCants 62]

I went to my first post op appointment today. I am down 16 lbs!!!!!!! I have been moved to a stage two diet. Basically it consists of soft foods. I was told to drink one Protein shake a day and eat three small meals with 64 oz of liquids in between. I was so excited. I went home and had 2oz of refried Beans with low fat cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. I topped it with a spoonful of fat free sour cream. While preparing I thought this looks like such a small amount. I put into a finger food sized bowl. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!! I had no trouble getting it down. And....... it filled me right up! It took me about 20 minutes to finish it. I paced myself.

For dinner, I mashed up a banana and mixed it with creamy low fat Peanut Butter. Another winner!!!!!! I was so happy with myself that I even cooked dinner and sat with my family as they ate. I wasn't hungry one single bit!

Every day just gets better and better!!! I am so glad that I decided on this revision. I went through such a hard time after my lapband slipped that I almost decided against another operation. So thankful for the support of my husband and family.

Congrats on those 16 lbs! Your food choices sound fab! I'm 5 post op and like you had my fab egg drop Soup today and was stuffed after 6 spoonfuls. I went from the band to the sleeve bc of two slips. Our stories are so similar how neat! Glad you're doing well!

I'm sleeved!! I won't sugar coat it, when I woke up I was in major pain. Gas pain mostly.

They have me on a pump an it was getting the job done. So, they have me liquid codeine. That worked miracles!

Did anyone of you get diarrhea after starting dairy products?

[1stBabeBorn5th 51]

Yes. I had some Fro Yo that seemed like the Devil made himself. It was delish though. Lol
