I just had surgery today. I got in 3 oz of Water and 2 oz of my Protein Drink. I have been drinking slowly for about the last 7 hours. I took almost half my prescribed meds and got in a Multivitamin. I have a hot compress on my chest for gas. I've been getting up to walk. Now I have the gurgles in my chest area and peed a ton of green, like leprechaun green. Did I over due it? Why am I gugling, it's been like an hour of the gurgles.

Gurgles and green pee are normal. Lol!

I am at 5 weeks and still have gurgles everytime I eat/drink. It is not so much in my chest as it is right below the middle of my boobies. That is where the new small tummy sits.

The green pee is a result of the dye they put down your stomach during surgery to check for leaks. It will go away after you pee a few times :)

Congrats on your new sleeve!

Hahhahaha, I'm sitting here with the gurgles as I'm reading this! It seems Water causes my gurgles most of the time, and it's so quiet at my job, it gets slightly embarrassing sometimes when the silence is broken by my new noises.

      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.
