Congrats on your new sleeve!

The grumblies aren't hunger, my tummy makes a heck of a lot of noise since I got sleeved but I'm not hungry. It's just noisy now. lol apparently that's normal. Think about your "hunger" ... is it head hunger or do you get the cramping that is REAL hunger?

I had it really bad the first week until I read on here to take a couple of tums after you eat. It shut that monster right up. It also has helped my heartburn, am on zantac and prilosec for that. keep plugging away and ignore the beast. It will take time to get it back on track, I am 2 1/2 weeks out and am feeling way better than 4 days out.

Hi-

Congratulations! They should have you on a dissolvable Nexium every day for the acid - that's what is causing the rumbling. Make sure to pick up one month's worth of dissolvable Nexium from the farmacia so you have it at home. A good acid reducer will be your best friend for the first few months :-)

      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.
