New Sleeve patient

[SunshineAna 18]

Was sleeved on 2/5/16 and weight in at 330lb. Today im 6 days in and weight in at 313.8lb. Ive lost a total of 16.2 lbs. Sweet feeling. I was a banster from 2011. I did loose close to 80lbs. But gained everything back from my pregnancy. It did work for me but then i was just having a hard time with gas and bloating plus always going to get tighten up. So i decided to go with the sleeve. I needed help keeping my weight down. Having pcos was another factor against my weight lost journey. I had lost hope for a while. But now im feeling hopleful. I want a better healthier me.. not just for myself but my for my son.

How are you feeling at 6 days out? The worst is probably over and you should be experiencing noticeable improvement daily at this point. Hope you are doing well with your Protein, sipping, and walking!

Good luck. That is tough having two weight loss surgeries. I wish you the best and hope this works good for you!

I start my Protein tomorrow. Im ok. Just feel weird not craving any food. Still cant bend over or pick anything up. Pain meds help. Feels wayyy better than day one. Im home resting and walk around a bit at a time.

Hi everyone, I'm 9 days out since my sleeve surgery. I feel pretty good other than my main incision is very sore. I've been icing it which helps but wondering if that's normal. I'm also eating pretty good. I'm puréeing my food but tried tuna and imitation crab which I chewed very well. It stayed down and was fine. Anyone in the second week eat semi solids?

Thanks Ed

My husband and I stayed on liquids and Soup Ed, a little longer than you. He especially sipped a lot of broth, and even 2 1/2 years later loves his broth. I remember six weeks post op eating a small piece of soft chicken and choking on it. My thought would be don't rush the solid foods but your surgeon may be different from ours. Refried Beans were my favorite, with a little taco sauce. Good luck!
