So I'm 6 days post op and I'm on full liquid. I'm not eating a lot my main focus is staying hydrated. I learned the hard way that anesthesia plus morphine equals nausea city for me so that extended my hospital stay from over night to 4 days. I'm not hungry at all. Having all these different feelings in my new belly and not sure what they are but I'm sure non of then is hunger yet. Like I said main focus right now is hydration because I would hate to end up back in the hospital. Let me know where some of you were 6 days out and what you were doing

I didn't have any issues in the hospital, but at 6days out I was right about where you are. I am at 2.5 months now and I still rarely feel hungry..... If it wasn't for my work schedule and my family eating dinner I could easily forget to eat anything at all. Everything starts to get better once you are on the semisolid phase. Congrats on your surgery and good luck!!

I am 7 days out today, today was the first day I was able to get 64oz Water and 60 grams of Protein in. I too had a rough go after surgery. Apparently my stomach was adhered to my spleen and there was lots of scar tissue from when I attempted to have the lap band in 2005( this surgery was aborted due to a stomach perforation)

The sleeve surgery generally takes an hr or so, mine took 3 1/2 hrs.

I woke up after surgery with really bad dry heaving, same issue the following morning. I thought I was good to go home and sure enough it happened at home. I called my surgeon and he called in a Rx for Zofran.....ahhhh...what a huge difference!!!

Gas pain is gone. Going on short walks with my doggie and really working on Protein and Water. I too am having weird feelings in my belly....hunger or just wishing I could have something other than Soup, shakes, pudding? Who knows... I just keep repeating "mind over matter". LOL

Best wishes!!!!

At 6 days I was eating Jello, chicken broth, hot tea and Water. I was walking every few hours to keep away from blood clots. And I had my first emotional outburst of tears! First and only thank goodness! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
