Congratulations on the sleeve! The first week is the hardest -- the first couple of days, really. Just sip, sip, sip (tiny sips!) and walk when you can, and you'll be doing great in no time!

Yep these are the days of gas. At first it gives pain then it just gets annoying. At times you think your sleeve might whistle a tune for ya as much noise as it makes! As always walk and sip to work it all out of there. Congrats on starting the journey!

Thanks Girl, well to give you and update. I was sleeping and then it hit me, a feeling that something different was going on, as i got up i had to go. I had my 1st B/M just 3 & a half days after. I call my wife at work at 0400 am & she was just as happy. Well congrats on you weight loss. :thumbup1:

      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.
