It's going! Lol. I get random abdominal pains if I do too much and have to take a pain pill. But I'm finally eating some actual food that I can chew so that's exciting! Lol

Same here as far as the pain, but did start riding my bicycle. As for food still on puree, but see my nutritionist on the 18th which will be 30 days after surgery and was told I would more than likely be able to eat what I miss the most. Can't wait!

the transition from purée to soft food was so great. You actually get to test your sleeve and see what works and what doesn't. I've found that dairy and I now have a rocky relationship which I hear is normal. The first bite of a meatball was awesome. But I can hardly eat one which is such a new experience! What do you miss the most?

Can't wait to basically try everything, LOL but the first thing I will probably have will be lentils and turkey albondigas.

Still on purée , pain was starting to go away (which made me happy) then randomly came back still trying to figure out if pain is surgery related or bowel related (near hernia) ...just walking around the house is a chore... I’m hungry all the time and when I eat my purée it seems to get stuck and hurts.. I know it is all temporary but as of today I’m a bit bummed
Sorry if it seems gloomy .. I’m just struggling as my 4 year old needs his mom and being almost 30 days out ... I feel bad/useless and really missing his super squeeze hugs!!!

Same was happening with the puree food getting stuck so I mixed in puree vegetables and this seemed to help. I am getting the itch to eat more; and more often, but the worst I have done is have an extra yogurt. Pain has almost completely subsided so happy about that. Hang in there and before you know it you will be able to receive and give those awesome hugs!

Update: just got back from hospital, appears the new pain Im having is possibly from a pulled muscle on my left side!!! I hope they are right and that it gets better soon. Stairs , sitting , getting up, reaching causes sharp pain below all my incisions.

Yes, hopefully that is the cause and you should start to feel better. All in good time and I know it has been tough, but just keep reminding yourself why you decided to do this. We all have our personal reasons to have made such a huge decision and actually gone through with it. Now we are living the dream!

      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.
