Ok so I ate some food yesterday for the first time. I feel so much better. Today I drank a carnation instant sf Breakfast drink with some soy milk and ate mashed potatoes twice today. I had a great day and even went for a walk. So believe that man cannot live on Water alone. I am so happy ready to go out and have a good day tomorrow. Tomorrow I may go to the beach and watch the sunset or may be go watch the sun rise on Wednesday. Never knew that food was such good fuel. I sound like a kid who drank a big cup of coffee. No caffeine here. Thank you God!!!!! I am myself again.

I am so glad to hear this, I knew you would bounce back!!

Omg!!!! I start my 2 week diet 2mar!!!!

You can do it. I'm only 5 days into my liquid diet and I've already lost 16 lbs. My doctor has his patients do Optifast. Five shakes/soups a day. They are tasty and I drink TONS of Water in between. Hang in there! You got this. Just have a few "death row" meal nights leading up to it! Lol

Question here...I was sleeved on the 11th. Have had no major pain issues and having no problem with getting the fluids down. Doc fixed a hiatal hernia at the same time. Anyone else not having Fluid intake problems?

We had the exact same procedures done. :)

I'm drinking fine as long as I remember not to gulp. :)

I'm ready for the full liquid diet bc I'm feeling my tummy rumble a lot. How bout you?

Finally home and sleeved but it was far from a walk in the park!! After my 1 night in ICU I was still vomiting and wasn't released to the ward until 6 pm. I had a shower and settled in to try and get some rest but continues with the nausea and vomiting of my own saliva all night long. At this point I was due to go home but clearly this was impossible and my Dr came and prescribed yet another drug that seemed to settle me down and being totally exhausted and feeling like death I slept most of the morning. In the afternoon I slowly began sipping liquids again and only got through half a bottle of Water but continued to ease overnight. As I could tolerate my medications (in soluble form) and a small amount of dairy I was allowed to go home. Today has continued to be rough and water intake has been near impossible - however I tried a lemonade icy-pole and it went down easily. So now I have has 2 and figure any liquid will do me until my stomach settles. As I previously had a band, my Dr said that the stomach can at times be extremely sensitive given that there is always some remaining damage from the band. All in all I figure I will just need to progress more slowly through the phases and not rush my new stomach. At least I am home as the extra night was not good for my 3 and 5 year old boys who were already missing me terribly ...... wishing everyone a much easier time than I have had!!!

      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.
