I was sleeved on the 10th and have been so hungry that I literally could not sleep. Last night, I seem to have broken a barrier and slept through the night and woke up about 25% less hungry than I have been which seems to be the difference between ravenous and STARVING! So, I think it will get better for you. Be patient, each day brings improvement. I too seem to be able to drink Water, Protein Shakes and yogurt and Soups all day long without any restriction and it doesn't seem to fill me up either.

Ok' date=' great, so you're doing full liquids. That makes this pretty easy. You one of the many of us that didn't swell up a lot internally. Therefore liquids will pass through your stomach and into your intestines very quickly. This is a blessing & a curse. You really shouldn't have any problems keeping hydrated. But you will also feel as though you have no restriction till you get back to actually eating solid/semi-solid foods.

I was the same way, you'll feel the restriction once you progress into mushies and later into solids.[/quote']

This is exactly what is happening to me and my NUT told me the same thing.

      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.
