I'm wondering how you felt about rescheduling? For me, am surprisingly neutral about it, perhaps because this process has been going on so long that it's yesterday's news. It's like I have some sort of... sleeve fatigue. Maybe I'll feel a bit excited about it again a day or two before surgery.

At first I wasn't happy but I got over it relatively quickly. Yes this process started in January for me. My insurance company had all these requirements that needed to be met before they would consider approval. So I definitely feel you about feeling like its yesterdays news.

It went great, only complication was Constipation. Very little pain, and was pretty sleepy the first few days but doing great.

Omg so happy to hear that. Everybody talks about the gas pain being horrific. That is the part that has me nervous. Other then that I'm excited to begin the journey it's been a long 10 months to get to this point. Where you able to take something for the constipation?

I am one week postop from my sleeve. I’m doing great and have no real issues. Went for my postop check today and have lost 14 lbs in a week. Very excited

Nikki my surgeon & his nurse told me the same thing. The more you walk the better it is. Thank you for confidence boost😁

That's amazing. I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to join the losing team. I'm sure at this point scrambled eggs sound great. Lol. What have you been eating the last 4 weeks?

I had the shakes for the most part the first 2 weeks, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, and plain greek yogurt. The second stage I hate part-skim ricotta cheese. I tried cottage cheese but my stomach rejected it with one small bite. Greek yogurt (lite&fit by Dannon) 80cal., pudding, outshine fruit bars, applesauce, blended vegetable soup/minestrone (took out the pasta), pureed pinto Beans. I still had to have 2 shakes a day in week 3 and 4.
I just started on soft foods on Thursday. Tried plain scrambled eggs. I felt like I ate cement. I talked to 2 people who work at the clinic and had the sleeve and they suggested scrambling the eggs with ricotta cheese and using mashed up avocado and salsa. So I'm going to try that tomorrow. They said the stomach wants the texture of smooth foods. She thinks adding the avocado with trick my stomach with the texture and the cheese will add moisture. I get filled up really quickly. But I'm not having many problems.
