Hi there Joni! Thanks for sharing!! Its great to have someone there who has been through it before to help you out when you need it!

LMD you took my back-up name, bananahammock! I love Scrubs and I always get a kick when the Todd says it!

Aww my name is Sleevie Wonder Woman! I'll have to think of another one since you had it first!

:wub:

Thanks! I will increase my protein and see if that helps. Are you on anything to prevent acid or do you just use the Tums as needed? Pookeyism, you may be onto something. I was just reading an article in Consumer reports about supplements and it said that taking fish oil supplements was a good idea for adults and kids. I may add yet another pill to my expanding collection Thank everyone for the support and suggestions. It really helps to know I'm not by myself. :wub:

Thanks. I tried the jello things and it doesn't work. Its not about missing the chewing for me, its just about that ravenous feeling I used to get before I was sleeved when I went too long without food. I guess I just wasnt expecting that, especially after this big surgery. My doc told me I have to stay on Clear Liquids until my 2 week appointment which is next monday at 2pm. I'm currently taking in Protein Shakes, so I'm not sure why I have to stay on clears another week but I don't want to break the rules and suffer for it later. Yes, LMD I remember LOL and I'm sorry I'm just panicky today for some reason. This hunger caught me so off guard! I checked my blood sugar this morning and it was 89, which is really a big change from my normal 101-110 fasting. Thank you ladies for responding! I think I will push more protein and count it toward my fluids like it was suggested. Maybe that will help hold off my hunger longer.

Oh and I've been taking in Protein too as much as I can. Sent from my iPhone using VST

You look amazing! Great work!

wooohooo! BTW I :wub: your blog!! Keep up the great work!

LMD, I think you underestimate how much of an inspiration you are to people

:wub: Thank you for sharing your story!

I know exactly how you feel. I'm having some emotional difficulties as well when it comes to food. Don't worry about venting or seeming like a baby, you just went through a lot of stress and its normal to feel like you've lost something. It's a time of bereavement for us. Take it a day at a time and visualize why you had the surgery. That helps me hope you feel better soon.

Aw man that sux well the bottom line is : you're getting sleeved!!! At least thats the bright side right?

because I"m starting to get hungry? Whaa I thought this was supposed to be over Im pretty sure its head hunger, then again, I don't know because its been very hard to get anything down the past 3 days. Everytime I swallow, it hurts and I feel so much gas come back up each time. Does this go away? I'd hate to have to feel this for the rest of my life. I don't know if it's the chewing I miss or just the taste of meat but it's starting to wear on me I know they say your brain uses more energy when you are studying so I wonder if that is my problem right now. Any suggestions?

Congratulations!! I'm so glad it all went well and you had a wonderful experience! Welcome to the Loser's Bench!!!

I'm having a lot of success with the Syntrax Nectars. I'm 5 dpo and I've been adding them to Powerade zero or Water and knocking out my Fluid and Protein in one bottle. I ordered the sample packet and I think once i'm done with it I will buy another sampler. I tried the walmart brand, and I couldn't get past the first swallow. It felt like sand. I also use Muscletech Nitrotech Hardcore pro series from GNC and EAS carbadvantage Protein shakes. I used these before the surgery and I can still stomach them.
