Sleeved Monday October 20

[Sinnamon36 0]

I just had my sleeve on Monday but had to stay in the hospital an extra day due to nausea and vomiting. Today is the first day I was able to eat anything other than ice chips. My tray consist of G2, chicken broth and Jello. 3 sips of each is all I can handle and since it stayed down I'm being discharged shortly. Please tell me it gets better than this. ..

It really does get better.

I know quite a few people have mentioned more extreme nausea and an extra night in the hospital. From what I can remember, 3 sips of G2, chicken broth, and Jello seems like a huge meal to me.

For the first week, I had to drink broth throughout the day because I could only manage to get about 3 or 4 sips down at once, but by week two, I was doing fine and switched to purees (mostly pre packaged organic baby food). That went well and I upgraded to mashed regular foods...black bean burger with cheese, cheese omelet, I even had Perkins southern chicken and biscuits platter (without the biscuits) with scrambled eggs. That lasted me 5 meals. Bought a little hand operated blender and took it everywhere with me for 2 or 3 weeks. Now I'm eight weeks out as of today and feeling great. Can eat anything I want, but don't. I don't crave anything either, which is really nice.

You're only on day 2.5 after MAJOR surgery. You just had a portion of a vital organ removed. Everyone handles surgery and the sleeve differently. Just stick to what your doctor prescribes as your food protocol and you'll be amazed at how fast you feel like you never even had surgery.

Good luck!

Day 1 I have 5 sips of beef broth. I was sipping very little Water. Day 2 I have 6 licks of popsicle and 5 spoons of cream of chicken Soup. Day 3 I had 7 spoons of cream of Tomato and almost 1/3 of yogurt. Almost full cup of water all day. Day 4 I managed to eat a whole Jello. Took 3 hours but I did it. Then bam. Next thing I knew I was feeling "hungry" and had 1/2 cup of soup 2 times. I'm day 7 today and already had 1 cup of shake I made with strawberries, banana and choc whey. I'll have at least 3 cups of soup and mushed up carrots to add to my Soups.
