I am looking forward to this when I am sleeved. Good for you, glad to hear things are going well for you.

Thanks Odee. Getting to this point was crazy but I'm seeing that the recovery will be much easier than I expected. I hope your entire experience will be great.

I am one month sleeved and do not get hungry. I spent my recovery time watching food network thinking of healthy ways to eat when I am allowed. Never once did it make me get up and go grab something. in fact i was having to remember to eat. That is still the case as I am spending my time trying to get the fluids in.

I picked up a pizza for my husband and child last night, 5 days post op, and I could have licked the whole thing...I didn't but I wanted to. Today is my first day of regular liquids, which includes protein powder...yea. I have been on clear liquids. Now, I made my smoothie this morning with scoop of protein powder, coffee, and 1/2 cup skim milk and ice. I poured half of it in a cup. That was an hour ago. I still have more than half left. It is way heavier than just the clear liquids and it is way more filling. I saw a post above about watching the food network...I have been doing that too. Also, someone sent me a link to a blog which had some great recipes if anyone is interested, but I don't even start soft foods until next Tuesday or Wednesday.

At easter I described it as imagine you had 2 dinners in a row to go to . At the second you would look at the food and think it looked good but you wouldn't want to eat it. It feels oddly powerful at times. The hunger doesn't have to control me like it did before!

I wish I didn't get hungry. I keep waiting for that part to kick in. I am not starving and I do get full when I have my little meals or shakes. I think each phase is a major adjustment and it takes so much to get a new routine down it's hard not to think about food/protein shakes/fluids etc.

Same here, my GS was the friday 13th in Tijuana with the Dr Garcia and I am fine, no hungry at all, drinking my liquid sip by sip, becacuse still fell cramp when i drink it, but only for that I am fine. somentime feel weak or sleepy i don't know, the only thing that i know 100% is that I am much better than before, because know I will be hearthy for ever.

I am doing my best trying to be active, today I went to the gym and walk for 30 minutes slowly, then drink and them rest, now I am here really fresh, I wash my hair and take a long shower, after that I am new again
