So I had my procedure done on the 2nd, 4days ago and I don't know how to feel. I'm trying to stay strong and positive but the pain I experience is not helping. The Protein Shake tastes disgusting and I'm already tired of broth. The only thing I look forward to is sugar free popsicles and that I can't even have as frequently. Any advice or inspirational words at this point would be very appreciated since I am feeling like a failure :-(

Hi, I was sleeved on the 3rd. I feel the same way as you, like I'm not getting everything right. But u are fine, just keep drinking and walking, and call the doc of your pain isn't manageable. Hugs to you and hope these early days pass quickly for both of us!

Im on my 6th day Post op. Guess what? I am 100% better than a few days ago when I was sooo regretting surgery. I have a place that still hurts and gets sore by the end of the day but I am sleeping, feeling pretty good now. And that's just 3 days! My diet is not they same as others. Im on cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese, creamed Soups (thank goodness for Tomato soup) Tomorrow I get to add even more soft foods. My doctor and nutritionist at St. Marks are not big on Protein Drinks at all. (liquid calories) They want you on normal food so you can learn to eat right. And St. Marks has been doing bariatric surgeries for long long time. Im already feeling better. Need to get walking more now, they push walk walk walk. I think I will be even better next week. So with all that being said, Im feeling better and feeling more normal. Missing food a lot but looking forward to every new thing I get to eat. FIrst week was mostly surgery recoop and not having ability to soothe myself with food. I have that feeling atleast once daily but it passes and will get better with better sleep and ability to eat a bigger variety of foods. Every one on here is great support, so when they say it gets better, they are totally right!

      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.
