I had my sleeve done Thursday July 11th in the afternoon. I'm 4 days post op I can't do any Protein Shake I can barely do Water heck I can barely do the liquid pain meds! I can do a Popsicle and I tried a little applesauce and I just tried Powerade. When does it get better?

I was the same way... I didnt really feel hungry or even touch food for the first week. Slowly things got better and I could keep down a few oz's of chicken broth or gatorade. I sucked on ice chips ALL day. It helped me feel like i was eating something but also kept me hydrated. Good luck! It will get better... you just have to give your body the time it needs to heal.

Day 4 and 5 were the worst for me. but it soon gets better. dont worry about Protein so much right now. focus on staying hydrated. popsciles are great- also try some warm Decaf tea. both were lifesavers for me that first week. Take those pain meds. walk and sleep and sip, and thats it! Take care!

at four days out, just concentrate on Water and Protein Shakes. i found that making them up and then freezing them helped a lot. i take them out and let them thaw to slushy consistency and then eat with a spoon. they are cold and they taste better that way.

It does get better & yes focus on hydration. Sips of liquid....

I had total buyers remorse. About 1 week after surgery each day was better & better. I wouldn't change it for the world now

I promise it gets better! Hang in there!!
