Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted March 26, 2013 its hard getting use to some changes just feel hungry and have bad acid indigestion I can only imagine the change from lap to sleeve. I also felt hungry during that first week out, they call it head hunger but it feels oh so real. Are you taking Prilosec or Protonix or Nexium, they will help with the acid stomach. Once you move to full liquids and more dense Proteins, the hungry feeling will go away. I now have to force myself every two hours to eat or I wont, I no longer have an appetite. I went from feeling so hungry to a point where nothing seems good at all. This is really hard work! I was in a dream land thinking this would be soooo easy, boy was I wrong. This is just a small bump things will get better, well wishes to you 2 AJJohnson6 and valvelazquez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodiesmom 14 Posted March 26, 2013 So I'm 11 days post op and I feel fantastic. I had a hard time getting my Protein in but think I found a solution and wanted to share with anyone else struggling. I mix have Atkins Dark chocolate Protein Drink and half skim milk. Its not too thick and no after taste. So far its working wonderful. Almost feels like I'm drinking chocolate milk. Well I guess I am in a way. I hope all March sleevers are doing well. Good luck to the last few that are being sleeved this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CA712 111 Posted March 26, 2013 Hello March Sleevers, I am now 3 weeks post op and still on full liquids, I will be seeing my nutrionist next Tuesday so I am thinking that is when she will start adding some items to my current regime. I am hoping that all of you who have already had your surgery are doing well and for those of you still waiting to get your surgery done this month are in a good place mentally. Waiting around is the hardest but March is our month to a new beginning, it is spring time and its our time to bloom into a healthier body and mind. We have Taken this journey together and we are on our way!!! We are each going to have the same surgery and we will share same experiences as well as different situations as we move forward. So, lets help each other out and don't forget to check in on the forum after your surgery and stay connected with the March Sleevers. We all need support along the way. Happy Easter to All, Cheryl 1 valvelazquez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kodiesmom 14 Posted March 26, 2013 i'm going to try this i have a problem with getting my Protein thanks for sharing I hope it works for you. I fixed about a half cup to a cup of it and its taken me about an hour to "sip" it but Its going down easy. I wish you the same success I've had with this method. 1 valvelazquez reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
