I had my surgery on August 13th (I think) I am eating and drinking fine but I developed reflux and have to take medicine before I eat. I still have a tough time with some foods but for the most part I am eating what I want just very small portions - make sure you are chewing your food into tiny bits and be sure you are taking good Vitamin supplements. I also still use the Bariatrics Advantage shake for Breakfast on most days to ensure I am getting my Protein. Can't ever seem to eat enough to get it all in. The shakes don't hurt my stomach.

I think all of us sleevers went thru a crappy period or two! Im 9 months out now. I promise you both...as soon as your new stomachs catch up' date=' your crappy feelings will pass and you will be able to eat & drink just fine. Hang in there![/quote']

Yeah what she said!!! I was right where you are at one month, today 9 months out breakfast was 3/4 cup kashi crunch with 5oz Greek yougart I shared a cheese stick and granola bar with my 2yr old for snack time a 30 gram Protein shake about an hour ago ,some mussels with parsley and lemon steaming right now for lunch, some chicken breast fillets marinating for dinner later, oh yeah a nice papaya I prepped yesterday for pm snack. I will probably eat 1000-1300 calories and close to 150 grams of Protein today. So there's hope my dear hang in there!!! I might note ,getting active Was the turning point for my energy level and allows me to eat , and not feel guilty.

I would suggest hydration G2 or pedialyte. Also I did better with room temp and warm drinks. I felt like every time I drank something cold everything would just tighten up on me. I also felt like I had a lump in my chest/deep throat area for a while till about the 6-8 weeks mark.

I'm approaching the 3 week mark and I found out if I don't eat or drink enough through the day I get light headed or feel dizzy. I still have pain eating certain foods or drinking milk, but I will mix and match a little, like putting a little milk in my cream of wheat in the morning, or drink my Water with a Protein mix.

      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.
