November 2018 Sleevers!?!?

[meljbolles 8]

I’m recovering really well, thank you! How are you feeling?

[Thoneybear 17]

I am feeling pretty good. Still a little sore and tired, but happy that I finally did it. Looking forward to figuring out how to rock the full liquid phase!

Next week starts my soft foods, any meal suggestions for things you tolerated well? I’m nervous the my stomachs going to reject everything!

hey there- so I miscalculated my days and was able to start already lol so I started and it is so nice to put away the blender lol... what was good for you on purees? I had a hard time with chicken so beef and turkey were good to me blended, so soft food I have done a Bolognese sauce added in some cheese and have been doing great with that. I was a little short on Protein so I got a low sodium turkey deli slice and put a little bit of cheese for a roll up and was able to make protein goals with that. Remember try to add a new item everyday. Small bites and chew chew chew. go back to purees if struggling. I may make one egg but only eat half eat. my Dog is grateful I get full fast lol. You got this!

I start soft foods tomorrow (on my birthday!) and I legitimately asked to have the ricotta bake for my birthday dinner! I am looking so forward to no longer having to blend my meals. I also miss eggs and am excited about having that again. Baby steps, small bites, and chewing forever, of course!

I'm at the dr now hoping for soft foods! This liquid diet is for the birds... Or fish?

How many weeks post op until soft foods?

[tbair 7]

I’m not sure how to respond to people on here. 😄 I am able to tolerate the refried Beans with enchilada sauce & cheese, chicken salad, a buffalo chicken salad, some cheesecake Protein pudding type thing & I tried a little bit of mashed potatoes, but I’ve been mainly rotating through chicken salads & beans! I’ve tried egg salad.. but it was store bought and made me nauseous.. I think it would’ve fared much better had I made it myself!

[meljbolles 8]

@tbair I’m not sure how to respond to people either😂! My kids help me with all this stuff! How many weeks until you were able to do soft foods?

[tbair 7]

@meljbolles I am allowed to start week 4. I had liquids week 1 & pureed weeks 2 & 3. Next Monday I’ll be able to start the softs! I’m excited and nervous about the big step! However, with chicken salad going to well, I’m hoping the transition isn’t rough on my belly. ☺️

Every surgeon is different. My program was 2 weeks of full liquids, 2 weeks of pureed, 4 weeks of soft.

I was sleeved on 11/15.
Anyone with similar dates like to share their story? How r y’all doing?

I had surgery the 26th and am feeling great! Definitely need to work on my Water and shake intake but I'm doing great! Will be weighing myself Friday to hopefully be down some, but I know the scale can be an enemy so I'm only doing weekly. I am thinking about measuring myself which I haven't done yet. I do get nauseous from time to time though which I have zofran for. All in all I can't complain. I was so worried about the pain because of my opiate blockers but the nausea was worse then the pain, the pain at first was pretty rough but after I woke up it wasn't too bad past the initial time following surgery. I don't think it was that bad though and I would do it again. I'm so happy to join the WLS family 🤗

Anybody else have headaches and neck pain? I’ve tried everything. 😢

I've been having sore muscles too. I think it's because I'm not getting the recommended fluids and Proteins in yet. It can make you anemic

Low potassium or magnesium can cause as well.
