Yeah I was just sleeved on 10/17/17 and I feel actual hunger. My hunger triggers around the time I would normally eat prior to surgery. At 7:30/8:00 my tummy is rumbling, 11:30/12:00 I'm hungry, 6:00-7:30 I'm hungry. In between these times I am not hungry, I didn't snack in between meals pre surgery. Head hunger may happen for those who would aimlessly eat, but not for me. When I feel hunger it's hunger. I have medicine cup or two of my cream soup or broth or protein shake and then I'm good.

Hi. I haven't tried Premier yet. I'm doing the Chike protein powder, stawberry, banana, chocolate, and vanilla. I mix two flavors and put them in my Nutri Ninja w/ almond milk and a few pieces of ice. Those are a lifesaver b/c I refuse to drink anymore of the liquid WHEY proten vials, they taste like corn syrup😩. I'm struggling with water mainly, so I've been doing ice along with my popsicles. I too have four incisions and the one on my right gives me the most pain. I'm able to sleep but not a straight 8 hrs; 5 hrs then am awake 2 hrs, then back to sleep 2-3 more hours. I've been active, walking down the street to my sister in laws house, I also went to the movies on Saturday with my family. I'm doing okay on my soups b/c they are homemade from smothered chicked, and also a shrimp and corn soup, I strain the shrimp and corn out. I only get about 1 or 2 little medicine cup fulls of soup or broth a day. I'm just ready to get to the puree stage, craving greenbeans and yams😭😭 Oh, and I regret nothing either. Today I weigh 246🎉. We'll get over this hump soon enough☺.

Okay, so I'm 5 days post op and I'm so over broth. Thank God for the creamy soups, protein powder shakes, and sugar free popsicles(only yellow[emoji5]). Nausea and vomiting left me at 2 days out, so the doctor felt comfortable releasing me from the hospital. So far I'm having problems getting in all of my fluids. I'm better at my shakes than I am at my water and Crystal Light. I'm getting around pretty well and getting out some of the gas. Still no BM[emoji30]. Any suggestions for a BM are welcomed. Oh, and here are my stats: HW: 277 (July 22, 2017) SW: 254 ( Oct 17, 2017) CW: 247 ( Oct 21, 2017) [emoji652]30 lbs Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using BariatricPal mobile app
