I was sleeved the same day as you, It will get better some people just heal differently. I have an appetite and today I had a 11oz EAS chocolate shake, like nothing? It had 30 g of Protein, maybe you just don't have tastebuds for what your actually trying to getting in.

I had issues with anything cold and did WAY better with warm (not hot) liquids like broth and strained Soups. I put them in a coffee mug to keep them warm.

I also starting using 1/2 Water and 1/2 milk for my shakes instead if all milk. It made them thinner and easier to drink.

You'll feel better soon!!

I'm certainly no expert (only 16 days out!), but days 5-9 sucked eggs for me, mentally and physically!

I also put creamed Soups in the blender with some broth to thin them and that tasted good to me. It was warm and filling. And Soup is comforting to me.

Hang in there. Theist important thing right now is to get in as much fluids as possible. You'll feel like POO if you get dehydrated!

Don't be too hard on yourself. Hugs!

That is so funny...I am better with cold...it just goes to show how many people are so different with their healing...but just it does get better...I am 2 weeks postop...love my sleeve already...I am never hungry and if I didn't have to eat I probably wouldn't...lol...right afterwards...I thought I was going to starve to death...

Many blessings to you! Hang in there

      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.
