I lost ten pounds since the 4th day and no more, I walk everyday, very lil pain if any, itchy, get very nauseous with my Water and only been having about 40 Protein and 6 12 0z waters also I'm already taking supplements, I must really be messing up any quick suggestions?

I would think it's probably your bodies reaction to the trauma of surgery and change in diet. You will probably find that in the next week or two you will suddenly start loosing again. My husband had to keep reassuring me that I wasn't going to just loose 10 lbs. I found mixing something with the Water like crystal light makes it easier to drink. I'm 10 weeks post op and I still struggle to drink plain water (it really hurts as it goes down). Just constantly sip Fluid. It is the single most important thing you need to do now. May that your number one priority each day and you will start making strides. I hope that helps :-)

One of the things I should of mentioned is the night I got sleeved I almost died, doc says I must have been leaking, I just kept feeling worse by the second and so much pain doc ended up taking out two liters out and says he had to put 4 in, my blood pressure dropped to 38 over 18 I code purpled, I think your right about the trauma, I kept thinking what did I do to myself, now I feel so good I think I also need to push myself to more walking then I'm doing, I guess it's all just a matter if figuring things out. I really enjoy this forum I think it's going to be very helpful for a lot of people.

      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.
