I'm almost 3 weeks post op. I haven't had much pain and so far my recovery has been great. I'm not getting in all of my Water or Protein yet. I am however getting more water now than I was before being sleeved. The hardest thing is eating slow. If u don't eat slow I would take this ti.e before getting sleeved to practice. I am in the soft food stage now and still struggle with eating slow enough.

Had mine on 5/22. No complications. Doing 3 Protein Shakes a day and other Clear Liquids. Really want eat some regular food but waiting for ok. I think the 3 week mark I can start soft foods. Only have pain if I do something too strenuous. Get tired quickly. Have not been nauseous much until last couple of days. I’m going to try switching I’ll I drink. Today I could only drink 2shakes.

Sleeved May 18th and went back to work May 24th. Horrible gas pain and little regret at the beginning, but now I’m doing just fine. 22 lbs down since May 11th pre op diet. Struggling to get down Protein Shakes and all of my Water.

I was May 9, 2018. Anyone try super firm tofu? It really upset my stomach. Anyone had that experience with tofu?

I was sleeved the 8th... I had pan-fried extra firm tofu Thursday night and it was all good for me. I didn't have very much of it though, just a couple of thin slices. I was planning on having more next week, so hopefully it's still good!

      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.
