sleeved Sept 2 and doing good

[shorty54 33]

I got my sleeve this past tuesday. Doctor had to repair a hiatal hernia. Truthfuly on Tues, Wed, Thurs. all I could do was think "why did I do this ?" I was scared, all of a sudden I was afraid everytime I took a drink or ate a popsicle. I don't know why , but it was scary. I was scheduled to go home Thurs morning , but early in the morning I had heaves and spasms. I was in tears scared. When the doctor came in he reassured me that it was nothing "unusal" and said he would order me a steroid and put me on a anti nausea and spasm med. He knew I was flustered and said, ' if you would feel more confortable why don't you stay one more night " and I took him up on that. After getting the steroid and starting the other meds things settled down and I began to feel like I just needed a little time to figure out stuff like , how much Water at a time, when to eat what (popsicle, broth or tea) and by Friday morning I was more comfident. By Sat. I was at the store with my hubby getting a few more supplies like some greek yogart, creamed Tomato Soup. We even went to Applebee's where I ordered water with lemon and some Tomato basil Soup. It was heaven to have some warm good flavor. I just want to let anyone know that those first fews days may or may not be ruff, but its only temp. I feel totally in control of this now. I'm on full liquids and satisfied, but am having no nausea, heaving . Its still feels like testing the waters sometimes. Im keeping a log until I get used to knowing exactly what I should put in my mouth next to achieve my goals. I think Im still short on my Protein but its only been a couple of days of figuring things out.

I was sleeved on Thursday, September 4th. I'm not sure the amount of food to eat at each meal. What have you found to be correct? My doctor put me on a full liquid diet for my first two weeks.

I had my sleeve 9/2...I'm on 2 weeks of full liquid too. The number one goal is 64oz of Water, number two is getting 60~70g Protein. I've been drinking one Protein Shake (25g protein, 8oz water) and one bottle of Isopure (40g protein, 20oz water), and three "meals" per day. Each meal is a quarter-cup of stuff like yogurt, blenderized and strained Soup, or cream of wheat. I've really been digging the Soups, I find I crave savory food with all the artificially sweetened crap we have to choke down for weeks before the surgery. I also love the flavored broth "soup starters" for a warming savory treat.
