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.

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

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!!!

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!!

      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.
