Sleeved October 17th

[Monya-Mental Change 3]

Hello VSG community!

I had my surgery on the17th. Recovery was better than expected, no nausea or vomiting thank goodness. I was doing so well they released me a day early from the hospital. Aside from really bad hunger pangs and hitting a brick wall on day 5 with the Protein Shakes (too sweet), I was thrilled to move on to soft/puréed food. I have yet to get in all my Protein and Water but I'm trying.

Like everyone else, I really miss the act of eating and trying to identify that notorious "yellow light bite" has been hard. I have spent whole life eating so fast that knowing when to stop before your miserable is difficult to identify.

I am so happy that I found this forum. I have really enjoyed reading everyone's experiences and look ford to getting feedback from all of you.

Love from Texas!

pureed after day 5! I'm so jealous. They wanted me on full liquids for 3 weeks! Makes me feel not so guilty about the baby food I had!

I, too, was sleeved on the 17th. You wrote my story! I've also had a fairly textbook recovery. Glad to hear you are doing so well.

Actually, I didn't get to eat soft/puréed foods until 2 weeks post-op.

I am curious about everyone's progress. I am down 19lbs since surgery, how about you?

16# in 17days. I'm starting to see it slowing down, which is to be expected, I guess.

Hi, I was sleeved on the 17th. I'm not sure if I'm entering a stall of if my body is still holding on to Fluid because it's that TOM. I'm on the last days, so I'm wondering. I'm also learning how to eat slow and take small bites. I've been doing a lot of belching when I eat, and when I eat some foods with more texture I feel it in my chest. It is very uncomfortable and annoying. I truly hope that this goes away. I hope as time goes on food slides down easy.
