I should have cold here first. Yes. I am off pain meds and unable to sleep. Maybe 3 hours a night if I'm lucky. I'm also having the same issue with Protein and calorie intake. Less than 300 cals a day and around 50-60 pro. I feel terrible.

I'm gonna talk to my surgeon on Monday about it. Hopefully he can prescribe something. How can I heal if I can't sleep?!

I'm opposite. I'm sleeping a lot. I think it's from so few calories. I have no energy.

I thought that would be the case but it's the opposite. Like right now i feel like it have so much energy and I haven't even had anything besides Water, apple juice and tea (was flying home all day and now on the train from the airport). I feel hungry and thirsty but not tired! Only had 2 hrs of sleep last night.

Is it weird that I just finished a whole bottle of Water (16.9 fl oz) in an hour

No. I can do that now. Just had to work up to it.

I'm 8 days out, and I drank a Protein Drink (8 ounces) in about a half hour 45 min today. I also drank maybe a quarter of a 32 ounce bottle of gaterade in a few minutes last night. It was like overnight that I can get a bit more liquids in faster. I can't guzzle, but I can definitely drink water/gaterade almost like I could before surgery. I've been freaking out about it the last 24 hours, but from all the frantic searching I've done, it's normal.

Can I ask a question about poop? I'm 2 weeks out today and in general feel really well, went back to work two days ago and have started on soft foods but I am having one problem. Gas and poop. Lots of gas in my intestines and my poop is gross. Like really, really gross. I'm sorry to be so personal but is this normal? It stinks horribly and is like sludge. I mean it sticks to the toilet like glue. I am so skeeved! Can someone please tell me this is normal and will get better? It has been like this before I started on foods so I know that isn't the trigger :(

I'm only 8 days out, but it's the same for me. Stinky, and sticks to the toilet when it isn't liquid with sand like sediment in it. I've really only had 2 poops that have had enough substance to stick to the toilet. But man if it doesn't stink bad/weird.

I am 8 days out... Lost 15 pounds. I still have horrible gas pains and I cannot sleep. I only sleep for three hours a night. I was just told I could eat soft foods today. It's still taking me time to drink a 14oz Protein drink. Also, I was told I am in ketosis horrible breath. Today at the doctor they gave me this website to help me create meals. http://www.bariatriceating.com

      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.
