Late June Sleeve Buddies?

[cln39 27]

Got to leave hospital about 8am today. Came back to hotel. Nurses and doctor have seen me three times today. Finishing last iv. Have dye test and xray tomorrow. Not looking forward to drinking dye. If all good I'll fly home Thursday. I hace been tryingvall day to get dowm 5 oz of Water. I am not hungry at all. Cold seems to hurt worse but they said to drink cold. Helps with swelling. I had 4 others in my group. A couple of them did not follow diet and they seemed to be really sick after surgery. Myself and couple others followed diet and we have had no trouble. My advice follow diet. Makes recovery easier. Good luck to all

Had mine done yesterday and got to come home today about 1. I feel great really. (knock on wood) Some gas pain in my shoulders but that's about it. Just trying to get my Water intake, which I'm finding very hard to do. I can't even finish eating a thing of Jello. Glad yours went well too cln39!

Cream of wheat - really wet. oatmeal also really wet like you can drink them. Add cinnamon and sweet n low and it tastes pretty good - just the texture is gritty on the cream of wheat but it will help the hunger. It took me an hour to eat a half of a cup. I'm 9 days post op and not able to start puree until after my doc appt next week.

Glad to hear it ccflotron34. It is hard to get your Water in first. sip every 2 to3 minutes. I got that from mayo Clinic gastric sleeve page and it really helped me. You aren't expected to make goal yet. 30 in a week is actually good. your stomach is swollen. It takes a bit to go down. I'm post op day 9 and fluids are just starting to get pretty easy and I'm actually getting hungry.

I am Day 6 and am getting hungry too Maggie. HaVing less than 300-400 calories a day will do that to you!. I get to add thin cream Soups today and can't wait.

After having lots of energy the past 2 days, I am feeling more tired today. Going to get a chair massage and pedicure. This is a great time to pamper ourselves!

Save the jello until you have gotten lots of liquids in. A few bites of jello filled me up too.

Brilliant minds think alike! I had my pedi yesterday So what kind of creamed soups are you having? I could use suggestions. I can have those too. Are you doing bariatric soups, something you are making home made or from the store. I am not a fan of creamed soups but might like yours! lol

Brilliant minds indeed! Today I am going to have the country potato Soup from LA Madeline. Love it. Am also going to store to get a roasted red pepper Tomato Soup by pacific ? Can't think of second word but they come in a cardboard box.

Hi. I'm 6 days post-op and I'm still on clear diet. I get hungry a lot. But the worst thing is I'm getting depressed a lot! !! What's wrong with me. I'm already on antidepressants but it's been 3 days I'm always either angry or sad.. anyone has the same problem?

[Maggie143 94]

Sounds so good.

CF I am on Full Liquids. You should be on full too 48 hours after your surgery. They said as long as you can sip it through a straw (but never use a straw) that it would be ok and to strain Soups if you eat them.

At this point you should be on full liquids. how come you are still on clears? you are probably miserable. me personally, I went through a range of emotions but I'm doing good now. I guess at times we are still going to question this life changing thing we all did together which would be normal. Don't fret. This too shall pass and you are probably starving! I'm so sorry. Call your doc or nutritionist. I bet you should be having full liquids now.
