I don't know why..but that's how my surgeon does things I guess..Full liquid diet for 4 weeks! Actually its been a little longer than that because I had to be on a liquid diet 2 days before surgery and then 1200 calorie diet 2 weeks before my surgery date so I was juicing for breakfast and then protein shake for lunch and then a heathy/lite dinner..I guess that's why I feel like I should of lost more weight by now..don't get me wrong I am greatful that I have lost 21 lbs as of today but this liquid diet is getting a little old already..I need some change..I am hoping when I go to my 1 mos follow up next week I graduate to pureed! Wish me luck!

Thank you. I'm 8 months out

Hello. I am doing great I have lost a total of 92 pound and feeling great. How are you?

wow after your 2 weeks you were able to go to the pureed stage? That's awesome! I have to be on liquid diet for 4 weeks..I have my 1 mo follow up on 10/26 so I hope I get to move on to the pureed stage..I hope I hope i hope!!! I'm doing good surgery wise but I got sick so it hasn't been easy at all..I've been to work for a week and a half..first few days were hard but now Im back to the swing of things..

Hi how are you doing???

Hey lady how are you doing. Girl I am finally getting to a place of comfort. But child let me tell you sometimes I might forget I have my sleeve but this morning I tried to eat a piece of sandwich and OMG!!!! Can i say PAIN girl lol. I am 5 weeks PO. I was not really hungry I had a little shake this morning but it was a mind thing lol. Not again at least not in this stage. I had so much discomfort on my way home from the store I thought I had to stop my care on throw up that is what I felt like doing lol. NEVERRRRRRRR again lol. How are you.

Keep your eye on the prize. It's not easy but it's so worth it. Follow your doctors eating plan and as soon as you are released to exercise more than walking, make it your priority.

Hey, there, Mercede I'm doing well..I'm home now and trying to finally get some rest and eat. Hospital's aren't for resting! How are you??

Hey Missy how are you doing and how are you feeling.

Same here, I'll say a prayer for you as well......omg it's really happening!

Oh yes I struggled with the pre op and now the post op. lol. But this too shall pass and better days ahead. One thing for sure when I drink I get full really fast ) I almost struggled from going to McDonalds yesterday but I had the power to turn around but I wanted that fish sandwich lol. Then I thought about the pain it would cause and say no no no!! )

Hey Davis165. Energy level is pretty good considering what you have to go thru. I do a lot of walking. My dr do not want me to go full force exercise until i see him on the 26 of October. My only problem is where part of the stomach was taken is where it is really uncomfortable. I am not hungry @ all. But girl I am looking forward to the mash potatoes in the mush food lol. I try to drink some because I do not want to end up back in the hospital from dehydration that will be no fun. You will get thru this with flying colors. When I first came out of surgery and in pain I said if I had to do it again I would not but now that I am feeling a little better I feel different about it and will love it even more after loosing weight. Let me know how you make out and when is your date again???

How are you doing?? I was sleeved on Sept 10, 2015. good luck to you. I am 11 days PO

Thank you, Davis165.

Very, very best to you, too.
