I too am 7 days post op and have had no pain or anything since the day after surgery... On liquids alss and am wondering am I missing something...? Did I really have this surgery? Also am hungry... Down 12 lbs since surgery day....

Awesome!! I think we don't hear as much about people having easy recoveries as we do about the hard and complicated ones. I'm just feeling lucky!

I learned after my original post that the hunger might be acid which mimics hunger.

I was sleeved on 10/14. I had no complications aside from the itching from the adhesive. Then the itching spread and I think I've developed an allergy to whey Protein. I'm taking Benadryl and switched to Jay Robb Egg White protein. I weighed 242.2 on the day of surgery and weigh 226.2 today. I am walking at 2-2.5 mph for 20-25 minutes per day. I haven't lost anything in three days and it is discouraging, but trying to be patient and positive!

On my way to the doctor .... Can't wait to see what the scales say ;)

I was sleeved on the 28th and today is my first day of feeling good and slept through the night. A little low on energy but pretty good. Still a little bit of cramping when I drink but makes me burp and goes away. Don't know how much I'm down yet but I go Tuesday for post op appt. love reading all the posts. Definitely feels good knowing in not alone.

      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.
