How are you doing?

Not too good. Just got out of the hospital. Had a very rare blood clot. Have been soooo sick and in so much pain. It was worse then the actual surgery.

So nice reading up on your journeys, everyone! I'm 3.5 weeks post op and go back to the surgeon/nutritionist this week to hopefully get the all clear to go on to Soft Foods. So far I haven't had anything disagree with me, but I'm still learning whether I'm eating enough or NOT enough. It's strange to not feel hungry, I'm trying to decipher what 'full' feels like.

Getting enough liquids in is tough, when you're stopping before/after meals.

Hi josh m! Welcome! I had my sleeve done on October 16 and I’m down 11pounds since surgery, 24 since I started the pre op diet! I’m excited to finally started soft/puréed foods on Tuesday! Best of luck in your journey!

Seconding both of these sentiments!

I can tell a few minutes after I've eaten too much because I feel a little green about the gills, and I make a note to eat about 1/4 ounce less the next time. I just don't have a "full" signal that I can decipher, as yet. I haven't been sick, yet, but have definitely spent some time feeling nauseated.

I'm also having a lot of trouble getting to 64 ounces of liquids with three half-hour meals and the rest of my life happening as well.

I was just telling some friends today: I spent all this time building up good habits about carrying a water bottle everywhere and drinking a lot, pre-op; only now I can't drink room temperature Water. I can barely drink room temperature anything, so I find myself making (mostly decaf) hot tea all day. And of course I lose time every time I refill my cup.

My solution, such as it is, is to buy myself a bigger tea cup. At least I'll lose time a bit less often?

Had surgery Tuesday the 23rd...still have discomfort on my left side. I am getting some liquids in. Just wishing this next month would go by quick so I can actually eat something.
