Any April 18 sleevers?

[MrsKTS 19]

Hi guys!

It's almost been a week! I'm doing great, keeping all my liquids down, and meeting my liquid and Protein goals. However, it feels like it takes me all day to do it! Ugh. I'm so over drinking, I can't wait to finally chew some food, lol. How's everyone doing? Any issues?

Hey I'm the next day, April 19th. I haven't been able to meet my Water and Protein goals but I am staying hydrated by sipping, eating Popsicles, Jello, andI'm about to try some applesauce right now.

I starting to think my inability to meet my goals is more psychological than anything. For example, I probably can drink more but I'm scared I'll mess something up.

I'm on day 7 tomorrow and that actually starts my pureed/soft foods phase. I look forward to trying a mashed ripe banana and I might even try some watery oatmeal or scrambled eggs. I'm taking it slow!

When does your pureed/soft food phase begin?

if you are post-op the soft food stage starts 2 weeks out or after your first post-op appt with your surgeon. I didn't do the pre-op liquid, my surgeon didn't require me to, or he failed to tell me. But I now know it is a must as I suffered complications, an infected incision, because I ate the night before. It is not worth it. If you are pre-op, it is very important to be on that liquid diet.

Mine was April 18th as well. Tomorrow I start my full liquids. I've only lost 2 pounds but I'm hoping it's because I've been swollen and such. I've been meeting my goals but like you, I'm so tired of liquids ????

I can't wait to try scrambled eggs!

You really need to push yourself to meet your Water and Protein goals. For the simple fact that you don't want to run into any dehydration issues, I've heard horror stories about that. That's what keeps me sipping all day, I'm totally scared of dehydration. Good luck :-)

Actually my soft food phase/pureed foods start 7 days post-op, I have my nutritional bible to prove it...lol... and the meeting with my NUT a couple of days before surgery

I actually gained 7 lbs because of swelling and IV fluids. I was so annoyed, but it's been coming off daily. Don't get discouraged, we're gonna rock this!!! Going into this surgery, we all knew it would be very difficult, but I have no doubts that we can accomplish our weight loss goals! Good luck with everything! Reach out if you need to! :-)
