Thank you for your post. I'm two days out of surgery an really uncomfortable. I'm afraid to drink anything- I'm approaching it very carefully... I weighed myself when I got home from the hospital and I weigh more than when I went in 2 days ago! I'm hoping that it is from swelling and the iv fluids.

Best of luck to you! I think I lost about 14 lbs in the two weeks prior to my sleeve surgery - my surgeon has his patients do Atkins induction to shrink the liver and I guess it worked like a charm, they said my liver was a tiny little thing on surgery day. Do your best with the hunger - drink oceans of liquid. Powerade zero, crystal lite, water with lemon - it is the secret - that and drastically eliminating carbs (which make you hungry). If you can cross over into ketogenic state you are no longer hungry and this is where you start changing your body chemistry to turn into a fat burning machine

Hi there...I can't believe they didn't give you a liquid pain med. My doc game me that and thank God for it. It sounds like the trial and error is something we all may have to go through with the bite amounts. And I agree if it wasn't for the hair I would just drink my food too...lolol...My only craving right now is something other than a sweet protein shake...lolol....Thank you for your post I enjoyed reading someone elses trials and tribulations. Something to look forward to or not!!! kim
