May 8th sleeved

[tootie 3]

I had my sleeve surgery May 8, 2013 in New Iberia, LA. I started at 198 pounds. Today is day 4 and I'm done 8 pounds. Surgery went well. I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be. I returned home yesterday and have been starving since. I hope I can figure out what will fill me up. I'm on Clear Liquids for the first week.

I am always so surprised to hear that people are hungry after they get sleeved.....I thought the hunger thing would go away? I'm really getting worried now! Hope you find something to fill you up too! Hunger is not a good feeling.

Happy to hear your surgery went well.

How are you doing on Protein intake?

My doctor said clear liquids only this week. The smell of the broth is making me sick to my stomach. I managed to get about 6 oz of it down yesterday. That's my only source of Protein at this point. Do you have any suggestions?

I've been using the nectar Protein powder in Water pre-op.

It's considered clear liquid by my Dr.

Lemonade, Pink Grapefruit, and Strawberry/Kiwi are my top 3 favs right now but then I am kinda fruity;)

23 g of Protein and 100 cals. I use it in my 20 oz water bottle with ice

Thank you. I will have to try that.

I was sleeved by Dr. Borland on May 6. It was painless! as far as hunger, I thought I had some, but I think it's just a little gurgling that sort of feels like hunger. I go back for my one week post-op, so I'm anxious to hear what he has to say. No regrets!

Oh, they pull out the calendar at the end of the appointment, so be ready to set a date. Congrats! He's a wonderful doctor, and the staff is excellent!

My post-op check-up with Dr. Borland is Wednesday. I'm down 12 lbs now. I only had pain in my chest from the gas build-up. Maybe you are right about the gurgling versus hunger signs. I'm with you...no regrets!!!

Good luck to you!! They perform surgeries on Mon, Tues, and Wed so start looking at dates you want so you can schedule it while you are there. Keep us posted.

I had my surgery May 8th also and I am right there with ya on the feelings of hunger . I was on a clear liquid diet for two days and now I'm on the full liquid diet and it's really difficult . I never realized how much a loved food and how much i thought about it through out the day. I've had strong urges to just chew something up and spit it out :s but fortunately I haven't done that! Sometimes I even dream about food!!
