I was so sleeved 10/8 and loose or rather liquid bms started wed for me too. Im getting in at least 55 oz liquid daily trying for at least 64 but havent made it yet. I am still having liquid bms today...several times a day. Like just about every time i go pee. I hope it will get better when we progress to puree. My bariatric coordinator told me to expect this during preop teaching. Liquid in=liquid out lol

My bms are still liquid too and i was sleeved 8 oct 10. Glad to hear im not alone.

Im two weeks out and i was watching tv. I picked up a lime and ate it without thinking. For a moment i forgot i was not supposed to eat any solids. I know what you might be thinking. My husband was eating at the coffee table next to me and he had some lemons. How bad is it to eat a lemin only two weeks out. I can hear my stomach rumble but nothing else.

I am going thru it with hunger.... I just want to eat some real food...even if it is tuna salad.... I have a hubby and two young kids to cook dinner for and its so had not to try a lil piece of what they are eating....its so frustrating I want to scream...I thought my hunger hormone was gone? They ordered pizza hut last night and I decided to go nap so I would watch them eat but I smelled it and had a lil dream about a slice of pep pizza :(...I have 5 more days of full liquids then I can go to soft foods...I just don't wanna look at another Protein Shake again....sorry I'm just being real...I had to vent!!!

What are you drinking Tiffani? Have you tried broth or something with electrolytes like gatorade? Water tends to be so hard for me to drink for some reason but I've been forcing myself to drink it.

Had my surgery October 2 and Im feeling great! My tummy feels awesome and I'm on soft food now ( doctor said it was ok) everything is going down really well. Honestly chew chew chew is the best advice I can give and wait 3 to 5 minutes between chews. It works for me. I lost 30 pounds so far! I'm very happy I did this and I hope that my recovery keeps going as well as it has;)

I just noticed that you're only a couple of days post op. It will get easier over time. I was struggling to get in fluids also but now it's gotten easier. Just give it time :)

      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.
