Had my surgery on the 29th and was discharged today around 1:00. I had clear liquids this morning and will have full liquids tonight, progressing to puree tomorrow. Yesterday was a little rough but today wonderful.

Thank you everybody that prayed for me. I am starting to feel a little tired now and need to take it easy.

Me too!! I had 6 incisions, did you? I have doing great but have had to cough today & that hurts. Also I have drank water & crystal light & some broth. Trying a protein shake but its too thick, yucky. I haven't had that weird feeling people talk about though. Maybe because Im sipping. My diet is 2 week full liquid then 3 & 4 wks are applesauce consistency. 5 &6 are soft foods. Let me know how you do!!

Yay! Congratulations, I'm glad you doing well. I have six incisions as well and one of them hurts more then the other. The dr said that is the one they did the majority of the work through.  I can drink clears with no problem. The full kinda hurts, I think 1 1/2 ounces is probably to much right now.  It is hard to tell right now. Keep me posted. Are you home?

Yes I got to come around noon Im also. I am just on clear liquids. Have no problem with them. Is your incision a little red around it? Mine is. They covered it with dermabond also. So glad we both had successful surgeries! Now to a complete recovery!

So glad to hear you're feeling good. I got sleeved yesterday as well and just got home. I feel pretty awful but I believe it will get better with time. Just glad to be sleeved and I know you are too!

I've been drinking clear liquids. My program doesn't allow full until a week after surgery. Right now though, I can't imagine desiring anything thicker than water, I'm so swollen lol! Hard to believe that yesterday as they were wheeling me in all I could think about was pizza. If someone offered me pizza now I'd laugh if it didn't hurt to laugh.

The full liquids was a bit much. I'm a little concerned about puree tomorrow but I am going to try. I'm not as swollen as I thought I would be. I guess each day will be a learning experience for us. Good luck!
