I was sleeved 3/28 and I feel I'm doing well. I'm moving through the stages a little faster than I should be, full liquids just don't satisfy me anymore so I've started experimenting with puréed and even some soft food. I've found that the only items I haven't tolerated well are warm/ hot foods ( heated Soup has made me feel yucky but same soup at room temp was fine) Anybody else moving a little faster than they should?

I was honestly going too and i know many have but u can get full take in more Protein the reason you need ro go in stages is to avoid a leak or hurting your new belly...its still very swollen delicate and healing...just like a baby u would not jump from stage 1 to solids would you?? Also your new belly is more sensitive and you may have develop food intolerances which is another reason we all do stages..

If ur doing fine thats good but i would strongly suggest you talk to your nutritionist and not cheat your way to next phase.

Also good u realize what temps work for u that was so trial and error for me...unlike u hots work better for me...but that goes to show you how your new tummy is so different.

My fear of causing my own harm and them have to go back in and start this all by scratch is way more then enough to make me stick through it all

Had mine on 3/29. Doing well but no where near 80oz Fluid a day my nut wants me to. Hardest thing for me has been the grinding of meds. I've tried putting it in everything to hide it but I almost gag when I take it. I know how a dog feels when you try to give them a pill! LOL.

Nice!!! I was type 2...but controlled...never needed meds...but doctors put me on metformin when i started my pre op diet ro help lose more weight...they told me i would leave the hospital with out it...took my blood tests last week...no longer diabetic!!! If all comes out good again in dec they will deem it cured!!! Woo hoo....

I seen to many family members die of renal failure from yrs of being diabetic i did not want ro live my life that way...although doctor did say as we get older and our metabolism slows down more it CAN come back but 1 battle at a time!

Happy for you Criag!!

Sleeved on 3/7. I have moved to solids but I can only eat about 3.5 ounces at a meal. Getting in 64 ounces of Water a day is not a problem. There is no hope for 90 to 120 grams of Protein a day. The shakes are beyond nasty. My energy has been coming back and I had no post-op complications. I have tolerated just about everything I ate, except really spicy foods but I haven't tried bread or salad yet. I stay away from foods with Surculose. It makes me nauseous. I do get the slimes but taking a PPI helps with that. I am back doing Zumba 3 days a week and at least two other days, I walk at least 10,000 steps. I have been taking all my Vitamin supplements. So far I am down 32 pounds since surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
