Hi, I'm 3 days out and feel great. I'm only doing Protein and Water. Mr doctor Saud the get my protein in before other things. Came home yesterday and went trick or treating with my daughter. The key for me is move, move,move.

I Also was sleeved on Monday! I am alternating between sipping Water, broth, and Protein shake...I haven't been able to get my goal of either but sip, sip, sip the whole time I am awake. I have yet to have a BM but know that I haven't had anything to poo out! I have not had any pain Meds since surgery, so am doing good--I do have a bit of gas pain in my shoulders still...does anyone else? It also hurts a bit to drink from the gas, but I am doing it anyhow!

Can't wait to feel somewhat normal! Have no desire for food though so that is nice...

Any advice, I CAN NOT tolerate the Protein shakrs, I do good with them in the hosp, but now they make me want to vomit. Thankfully, I haven't. Please help, I was sleeved on Tuesday. I feel great otherwise.

      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.
