Not to brag but i had my surgery on 9/5 and it doesn't even feel like i had surgery. I do have one incision site that is sore but otherwise i am fine. I have no issues getting in all my fluids and Protein and i have not been hungry once! Its a weird feeling. I am so happy that I have had no complications and everything is looking good. I add in yogurt to my diet on Wednesday and I cant wait to try something different. I wish everyone who has had the procedure in September so far and those still waiting good luck and i wish you no complications! :)

I don't have the hunger feeling as well ( sleeved at 7) but I notice that today others' food bother me l WANT IT with my eyes. no idea why. I am not hungry and so far I am good at warm stuff going down. the chicken broth is my favorite. another one what is going ok is chamomile tea. I tried it today and it was fine. Today was the first day when I think I was able to keep down 64 oz. 50g Protein from shake and I hope another 10 from chicken broth. ( anyway I will drink more shake at night) I had 5 oz of tea and I think 10oz of chicken broth.

10 more days!!! I'm super excited. The few people that do know that I'm having this surgery keep asking me is I'm nervous, but I'm NOT. Even going to Mexico, I can't wait! The only negative is I'm going to Mexico and I can't EAT!!

Scorp I was sleeved on Sept 4 and I feel the same way I'm not hungry but watching my friends and family eat is killing me!!! I lost 12lbs since the surgery. I eat and suck on Sonic ice and use the Mio, Propel Zero, Crystal Light, Isopure Cookies and Cream Protein Shake and chicken broth too. I cant wait for the soft foods. Tommorrow I start full liquids yogurt, smoothies, grits, and oatmeal, cant wait to have something with texture to it. I went to Walmart and bought the GE single use blender to help get fluids down I make an ICEE with Mio or Crystal Light to make it taste better.

How much have you lost since surgery day?

Sleeved on the 5th, I'm going to be seeing my doctor tomorrow and hopefully starting full liquids instead of just Clear Liquids. I can't wait. I have had some hunger pains but they were easy to ignore. I had some gas pains too, they weren't so easy to ignore. Also they were very noisy. I got tired of bouillon, so I made chicken noodle Soup and strained it so I just had the broth left. It tasted much better than bouillon.

I'm still taking pain meds a few times a day, it's getting easier to get the liquids down, and the shakes with Water are better. I still feel everything I swallow going down my esophagus, hoping that will change eventually. Walking hasn't been a problem, moving around in general hasn't been a problem either.

Good luck to all of you yet-to-be sleevers. Keep us posted on your progress!

12 lbs since surgery sound great to me. I am not good at the weight lose :( I only loose 3.6lbs. I am walking everyday for an hour in the park. and I hoped to loose more but not yet.

Sleeved on the 5th, I'm going to be seeing my doctor tomorrow and hopefully starting full liquids instead of just clear liquids. I can't wait.

Velena, sorry to hear about your pain when you swallow. I have it only when I did the stupid things and put in my mouth the spoon with my kids buckwheat meal yesterday to lick it up. I did it without thinking and paid or that. I feel how it goes to me stomach and pain was terrible. never ever again.....

about bouillon, when I cook it I put some celery their and some baby carrot ( not cutting) and after it done I took it off so the taste is much better. as I understand we cannot put potato and something what became puree in the soup. but vegetables are fine. on preop liquid I cook just vegetable broth. and also I use vegeta seasoning and it gave broth great taste.

For me the burping is killing me. I need to wake up twice a night like a baby and walk around until I would burp everything out. today will try to do my Jello ( sugar free) and hope will enjoy it with warm tea. will share the experience later :)

      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.
