I am sleeved. I am on day three post-op. I have had more pain from the hiatal hernia repair than the sleeve. The other day, I told my nurse it felt like I had been punched. That's when she asked the doctor to allow me to have oral pain medication. That helped immensely. I have been sleeping off and on today, mostly because of the pain meds. I am not really in pain now, just sore and moving slowly.

That is a cool ideal, better way to not stress. I want to weigh once a week, but I'll see once I get going. I do plan not to weigh after surgery until my first post-op visit.

My surgery is aug12th. On my 4week liquid diet. I know its will be worth it in the end but im so hungry. Atleast I get one meal a day:)

I cmnt imagine a 4 week liquid diet, I'm having to do one for 2weeks and I thought that was bad, but I don't have any reason to complain. You can do it just hang in there and remember why you are doing this when it gets hard.

I have my surgery scheduled for July 31st. I am currently on day 3 of my 2 week liquid pre op diet. I am taking in 100 ounces of Water, 4 Protein Shakes a day and about 3 sugar free jellos. I don't like broth so that is out of the question. Any other ideas for something I can have? I am in countdown mode but so hungry, will this feeling ever go away?

Hungry in Houston!!!!

      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.
