amyg80 45 Posted December 2, 2015 Yes, that's what my nutritionist said as well. She said to try to get 3/day. I'm just curious how much u can really drink at a time. I eat my first meal in a few hours so I guess I'll see how I tolerate liquids. Good luck on ur procedure! Ull do great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amyg80 45 Posted December 3, 2015 Just checking in on you to see how you're doing. Hope you have a good night! Sending you Angels! Hi! I'm recovering so well! Thank God! Honestly I thought recovery would be horrible, but it really hasn't been! I finally got to eat my clear liquid diet last night and couldn't finish (I should say) didn't want to finish my 4 oz of broth. Today I did eat my 2 oz broth, 2 oz Jello, 2 oz apple juice and 1 oz Protein packet. It took about an hour to eat but I feel good! I hope ur surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

liannatx 897 Posted December 6, 2015 Glad you are doing good! I also felt like my Sleeve was easier recovery than the band... maybe I just knew what to expect. When do you progress to full liquids? I remember that being such a relief... to have thin Soups and yogurt! The liquids get old fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that being such a relief... to have thin Soups and yogurt! The liquids get old fast. Thank u! I went to full liquids on day 2! Although that was just 2 oz of Soup, 2 oz of Jello, and 2 oz juice at one meal. Lol. Each day I'm getting in more and more. Have to work on getting my Protein Shakes in. I hate sipping and then it gets warm. I go to purées on tues! So tuna and canned meats are ok...can't wait! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BonitaF 30 Posted December 7, 2015 I'm doing great--so sweet of you to check in! I'm a public speaker and had a big event in NYC this weekend so that kept me busy. I was feeling pretty apprehensive on Friday and have scheduled an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow once I've flown into Kansas City. Since I had lap and erosion and ended up in Intensive Care I think I'm a bit more fearful than I would normally be. I had a severe gastric bleed with the erosion and I never want to go through anything like that again. I'm sure after talking to Dr Hoehn tomorrow I will feel peaceful and ready to rock and roll on Tuesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
