So far so good liquid diet first week , dr okayed soft foods today , my first meal lol about 3 table spoons of small curd cottage cheese omg yummy lol ... I feel rumbling in my stomach probably air ... I'm still tired , but gradually doing more ... Overall I'm content and looking forward to my new life .. Oh I live in Las Vegas any other sleeves out there ??? I like this forum it is really helpful ...

Glad your surgery went well. I was sleeved in 2011 and still loving my sleeve and my choice to take control. Not from Las Vegas , but this forum is a great site for questions, thoughts and encouragement. Stay tuned in .. it will help you. You'll see there are many others in your same position. Don't rush your food phases and you'll do great. Stay strong.

Does anyone have pain in their left shoulder still from the gas used to expand your tummy during surgery ?? It hurts I know walking is suppose to take care of it but it ain't working for me .. Dr told me today not to worry about it , so cool seeing these posts from people a year or more out , living normal lives , it seems so far away yet soooooo close ... I'm ready

To be honest with you I only had problems with the gas for about 3 days post op but peppermint tea or gripe Water (normally for babies) is supposed to help a lot. Good luck x
