1wk post-op!

[Faith16 27]

Today I am 1wk post-op from my sleeve surgery! Most of the chest pressure from when I drink is gone, thankfully! My bowels are working and I'm not nauseous! Praise the Lord for all these things! My stomach muscles are on the mend but still a bit sore when bending over or getting up. I have lots of bruising on my tummy. Other than that I'm able to do my protien drinks, Soups, sf Jello, sf popsicles, greek yogurt & cream of wheat. My first week I lost 6.5lbs! Yaya!

Hi faith16. I am a week post op. Glad to hear you are well. It's the same with me today I feel like very normal. My dr asked me Clear liquids 10 days sf and fat free. I had hernia repaired and gallbladder removed with the sleeve. I lost 5lb.

Sounds like you are doing great! Congratulations! If you continue to stick to your surgeon's plan, I have no doubt you will continue to do well and feel better and stronger every day.

I had mine done a week ago as well. Just getting to the point where I can tolerate chicken broth so I was able to meet my liquid goals. I am able to do sf popsicles and sf crystal lite. I tried at Jello and it tasted horrible. Not sure if it was just the flavor or what. I was thinking of trying some Soup today. What Soups are you having success with?

I eat Monarch soups. I like the chicken noodle, cream of chicken & tomatoes bail. They are high protein/low carb. I also like Campbell low-fat cream of chicken.

Hey, I was sleeved on 1/3 as well! I'm having some trouble adjusting to sipping drinks and then tonight I had my first scrambled egg. I hadn't eaten enough during the day due to being busy. It was so good to eat and there wasn't much to chew and my take away is I have to go slower. Because I was done eating it before I realized that a whole scrambled egg was too much. Wound up having to go potty and feeling a bit like there was a lump in my chest for a while. I've found that sugarfree lifesavers really help with that feeling because I was too full for liquids at that point.

Glad to find others with the same sleeveaversary as me:)

Hi moliver4u and faith 16. Welcome here. I am still on Clear Liquids. I eat home made chicken broth for lunch and Multivitamin milk for Breakfast and dinner. That's all I can have along with Water. I would drink camomile tea instead of coffee and tea. But half a cup once a day. I do feel hungry specially when I feed my family and last night at the local club as there was BBQ open buffet. The smell was too much but I coped at the end with Water sips.

I lost 9 lbs in 7 days

Today is my "2 week" follow up with my surgeon and I'm excited to see how much I've lost according to their scales! There are tough points already on this journey but I'm still excited and psyched about it all. I walked 10k steps yesterday for the first time since before surgery...I just wish I didn't have to go back to work next Tuesday! I feel like my doctor is more laid back than many. I didn't have to do the 2 week liquid diet post surgery...he told me to just stop eating at 8pm the day before and do this nasty laxitive stuff. I couldn't mentally handle not having the transition so I did clear liquids the day before anyway as well as the nasty laxative stuff.

Everyone's journey is different and this thread is showing me that in spades. Keep up the good work folks, we're all going to do great!
