I had the sleeve on Monday. My intake consist of a mixture of Water and crystal light accounting for 40oz of liquid. I also have about two table spoons of Jello, Popsicle and about 10 sips of beef broth. I am totally full with that. Should I be getting more in?

I had my surgery on a Monday and on the first Thursday all I could handle was some chicken broth, G2 lemonade and about 2 oz of Protein shake. The next day I finished the shake and had 1 oz of ricotta cheese as well as G2 and a little chicken broth in the morning. It gets a little better each day.

Dont expect much in the first two weeks. Work on getting some Protein and fluids.

Yes Protein don't forget the protein, it is so important. I'm three months out. When i was first sleeved I would have Protein Drink, then Water, protein drink then water. When I got bored and had to have something else I would eat popsicles which were so good. But definitely drink all protein required by your doctor. But remember if you don't get enough water you may get constipated so drink the water. Good luck you can do this!

      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.
