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!!!

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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
