I had my surgery on Friday and I have to say I feel fine. Today I had one can of Soup which lasted 3 sittings and a third of a Protein shake. Am I doing too good? Is there a such thing?

It's almost been 64 hours.

Your doing fine. You don't want to eat a lot right after surgery.

Thank you so much!!

I don't feel hungry at all but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't eating too much or progressing too quickly.

I'm sticking to shakes, Soups for the first 3 wks so let's see :)

Everybody's sleeve size is different, as our stomachs all start out different sizes. So you may be able to eat more than person A, but less than person B. As long as you take it slow, and follow your docs advice, you'll be just fine!

Thank you all. I couldn't sleep much last night probably cause of my huge nap in the day and lack of activity but I have woken up feeling so dehydrated and dizzy today. Gonna try and drink something and will keep you all posted xx

      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.
