I'm feeling great, but while learning to listen to my body, I'm able to take In more than 1-2oz of fluids. I don't know how to feel about that. Am I pushing it?? It kinda feel like I never had the actual surgery.... Idk

Don't worry about the liquid intake so much -- everything is normal. I was able to drink more each day after surgery and had the same doubts. When you get to eating more solid foods you will definitely feel the restriction of your sleeve. Just keep getting in your Protein and Water and you'll do just fine.

The day after surgery i could only take in about half an ounce at a time. Within days I could down one ounce at a time. I just noticed a few mins ago I gulped about 4 swallows from my water bottle. I can still only eat about a half a cup of food so it's all good.

You're probably okay but talk to your doctor anyway.

Belladonna, you should be very careful, at a week out you may not feel it but that seems like a LOT to be eating now! Especially chicken. I'm almost 6 weeks out and I can only eat a few bites at a time. I have to go really slow. I know everyone is different and each Dr gives different instructions, but I haven't seen anyone on here say that their Dr is ok with 4oz of chicken at 1 week.

Don't get discouraged, it will get better and we're here to support you!!

      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.
