Maybe that's it an empty feeling ... I am not having cravings at all sometimes I think maybe I'm swallowing too fast or too big and that's why I'm getting these cramp like symptoms. Thank you both @@FL_Buckeye and @@SouthernSleever for your responses. It is much appreciated.

I had sleeve surgery 12/16. The last 2 days I've been feeling hunger pains?!? Could this be true? I have my daily protein intake, keep hydrated, eating my sugar free jello and pudding and my blenderized soup 4oz 3xs daily until 1/18 which is my doctors regimen (I've lost 14 pounds in 11 days) so my intake is good and I am on track. However I am experiencing what seems like hunger pains?!? Is this normal? Is it really hunger pains? Has anyone else felt this? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My surgery is in the morning what was your first 24 hours like for example you woke up from surgery open your eyes and what did you feel know what I mean like who prepares me for that some people say I'm going to feel like I'm dying did you feel like you're going to die funny not funny but I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from I guess I just want to know what to expect the first few hours right after surgery anything would help thanks I'm a nervous wreck right now

Congrats on starting your journey the first step is the hardest. Expect a lot of testing pulmonary cardiology stress loads of blood test thyroid heart EKG psychological just to name a few my doctor gave me a list for the 6 months before my surgery and a proposed schedule of when I should see ascertain specialist or have a certain test done it helped a lot because by the end when I need to submit a reason to my insurance all my ducks were in a row now it is 6 months later and I'm having my surgery tomorrow 12/16 best of luck to you in hindsight the hardest part the 6 months was my own food demons so I took the six months to scale back the things that I need to get used to Mike reducing sugar carbs portion sizes eliminating soda alcohol fast food etc I had to cut down on my social life a bit because it's hard to resist when you're out with a bunch of friends and everybody's having a great big meal and you need to learn that this will not work after the surgery so I've become a bit of a recluse the last 6 months but the day is tomorrow and I'm feeling optimistic best of luck to you the time flies

hi Kelly. Can you tell me a little a out the first 24/48 hours my surgery is 12/16 I'm a nervous wreck ahhhhh

I we required to loose wait just bit a specific amount. The goal was to consistently loose for 6 months whether 1 pound or 2. First 4 months I only lost about 2 pounds a month month 5 I lost 6 pounds and I lost 12 pounds in my 15 day pre-op diet. Surgery is tomorrow. They just don't want you to think it's a ticket to a food fest before surgery.

I'm at my surgical clearance now lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks of liquid diet woot woot!!! I'm so anxious I'm literally sweating bullets now. Apparently I have to be in hospital tomorrow from 8am to 2pm for pre-op to meet with surgical team (a one day class prep) then the surgery is 7am Wednesday. Ahhhhh

I'm on day 14 of liquids my surgery is12/16 I got super sick at about day 10 came down with a really bad cold high fever the works I'm sure from the lack of nutrients went to Dr they put me on a 3 day zpac I'm now 3 days from surgery and feeling good again. I think it's normal to get a little sick a lot of people do. Just drink your vitamins I did a really nutrient rich chicken soup and put it through the bullet blender 1,000 times so it's like water and that has made my body bounce right back. You will be fine. Keep us posted!!!

I'm on day 14 of liquids feel faint not getting enough nutrients doing the sugar free jello and pudding poweraid zero and protein shakes but still feel very weak and have major stomach issues can't stop going to bathroom is that the point to empty us out before surgery?

I'm in the zone but terrified at the same time. I've been on a full liquid diet for almost 2 weeks now and go on clear fluids 12/14. I'm so anxious how long will I be in the hospital how will it go when will I walk will it hurt I don't know I don't know I don't know
