Surgery was on February 18th, 2013!

I am so excited that my surgery was done on 02-18-2013!  Everything went well!  I stayed overnight in the hospital.  I passed my leak test Tuesday morning and was able to advance to pureed foods, already!  Still having a hard time eating, but am getting plenty of water in!  I really don't feel hungry, in fact, I dread eating, but I make myself do it!  I started out at 432# in October of 2012 and had to get under 400# before my surgeon would operate.  I was around 383# the day of surgery!  Would welcome any and all friends! 

Sincerely,

Christina aka Tina

You sound so positive! you should have no problems. keep up the good work.

 

Yay Tina!

That's fantastic!! You got this girl!! Keep up the great work!

Congrats! That is awesome! I can't believe you get pureed. I was same date -2/18 and still on clear liquids until Monday. So jelly
I have been satisfied with water until yesterday.

Wow...you're on purees already?!? That's cool...I was sleeved the day after you and am on clear liquids for a full week.  Hopefully when I see the surgeon next week he'll ok me to move on to purees.  I don't really mind the clear liquids since I've got to struggle to even get those in.  I don't think I'd be able to tolerate a thicker texture yet.  Best of luck to you on this journey!

Thank you, everyone!  The bariatric center that I went to, has you go straight to pureed foods after surgery!  Also, the pre-op diet wasn't liquid, either.  It was low sugar and low fat!  :-) 

welcome to the journey!!! I was sleeved on 2/12/13. so I'm a newbie too. But, I'm doing great and so will you!!!!!!

Thanks!  :)

Great! Congratulations on a successful surgery and what sounds like a very positive outlook! You will succeed with that attitude I am sure. I also went very wuickly to purees. No problem with a faster food progression and my sleeve tolerates everything really well. Good luck to you in your journey!
