I'm in the preparatory process with the sleeve. Working on all my pre op stuff. I think I'm still on the fence about getting it done though. Worried about post op side effects. Any thoughts?

How have you been doing? Did you have your surgery yet? I am 1 week out and doing pretty good. Still some pain in waves but all in all I get better everyday. Weight is coming off about 1 pound a day it seems.0 -
I was sleeved 3/26/15. Highest wt 281, surgery wt 267, current wt 179. I am curious what everyone's daily intake is like at or around 14 months post op. Calories, carbs, sugars, fats, protein?2

A week and a half post op here and just started the new phase of my diet - soups, yogurt, cottage cheese (blended), still no solids, along with very thick protein shakes which taste horrid. I was told to count the liquids in the protein drinks towards my total liquids for the day. Which means less water intake, so for the past 2 days I've only drank 32oz. of water.
Well - it showed this morning while on the treadmill. I barely made it 1.25 miles before my heart started jumping all around. I stopped and cooled down, then got back on. As soon as my heart rate got to about 120 it started skipping all around again.
I can only attribute this to dehydration. I think I am going to go back to the protein powder mixed with water to insure I am getting enough. I can't see those awful pre-made shakes as having any great hydration value.
Also - I hate everything I have tasted so far except cottage cheese. Yogurts I use to love taste terrible. And the funny thing about it is that I went to Walmart yesterday and when I walked in the store smelled like that yogurt tasted. Eating at this phase (1/4 cup every 2 to 3 hours) is really just a pain in the *kitten*. Don't get me wrong, I am craving sushi something fierce however, I am only eating twice a day. I am looking so forward to a scrambled egg.0 -

I am 5 months from having gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana. I have lost a total of 70#. Still dropping clothes sizes. I have a lot of reflux from whatever I eat...or drink (even water). I think I have been dehydrated most of the 5 months, although it is always on my mind to drink water as I am always thirsty. As time goes on, it gets slightly easier to know what you can and can't eat and drink. I went from a size 22 to a size 12 so far. The option to wear "regular" size clothes is really nice.0
