I'm feeling head hunger big time!!! Everytime the Popeyes commercial comes on I salivate... I want a turkey bacon avocado from subway in the worst way!! And for some reason a hot meatball with cheese sounds amazing!!!

I was also sleeved on tuesday also. Started liquids that evening. Had a little heartburn. Went home Wednesday evening. Pain on my right side. Never experienced nausea or vomiting. Week 1 for me now on pureed, progressiing very good, bored, tired of being in the house.

I've been feeling hungry as well. I also seem to have no problems drinking Water or Protein shakes. I'm a little worried about this. I hope this works for me! Good Luck!!

Yes I am not having problems drinking Water or my shakes but my dr said that it's due to the swelling already going down. I'm a fast healer (I've been told) so I kind of expected it. I still feel satisfied after 1/4 a cup of yogurt or cream of wheat just not over full and uncomfortably when I haven't even finished the 1/4 cup!

Ps does everyone else eat out measuring cups and use baby spoons? Lol. I do so many dishes because me and my daughter compete for the baby silverware. I thankful I have a lot of measuring cups though!

My doc actually have me medicine cups and a little spoon to use so I know exactly how much I should be eating and of what.

I'm not using small cups or spoons just trying to stick with pre-measured foods. I've been really trying to get in 64 oz of Water. I'm feeling dehydrated though. Not sure if I need more Water or more calories. I have to stop trying to rush everything. I want it all now. Haha!! Tomorrow is my post op appt.

Ditto to being jealous! I have to wait until next Tuesday as well! It's getting easier, not easy by any means but I'm used to the same 5 things I always alternate between eating/ drinking. Lol.

Me too! I try to have 4 of my HMR Protein shakes/ day, then eat creamed Soups, SF pudding, SF Jello, and SF Popsicles. I would kill for mashed potatoes and/or puréed meat!!

Hello everyone,

I was sleeved a week ago (May 7th). I guess I'm one of the lucky ones (so far). I have no problems with getting my Water, or eating. I am on a full liquid diet for a full 2 weeks after the surgery. The gas wasn't pleasant at all; it took me 5 days before it was all gone, and its been great since then.

I've lost 12-lbs in the week since my surgery. I go back to work in another 8 days, after I see the surgeon and get my release back to work.

Its obvious from the posts our recoveries are all different; however, we each share the same goal, si I wish everyone the best on our journey to health and a better life.

It only gets better from here!

Take care,

Julie
