I am 8.5 months out and still struggle at times. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself and dont regret it for 1 minute. There will always be challenges. You just need to be strong and you will get through it. :lol0::thumbup:

I had a lot of problems the first month I was sleeved. Like some of you have mentioned, it was a real struggle for me to get anything down, liquids, mushies, anything. And whatever I took in made me very nauseous. I was severely dehydrated and ended up in the hospital several times on IV liquids. However, once I got past the first month, things improved drastically. I am now able to eat without feeling ill. While I cannot guzzle drinks, I can take fairly large drinks now without a problem. I am one of the ones that now says other than only being able to take in small amounts of food, I can't tell I have had the surgery, which is wonderful. Give it time, like WASa said, you are probably experiencing a bit more swelling that hasn't gone down yet. Once it does and you get past the first month or so, you should feel much better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
