My only issues have been with gas and getting up and down hurts the most. But once up the walking is just what the Dr ordered!!! Yesterday I ate 1 oz cottage cheese, 2 sugar free popsicles 1/2 Jello and another oz of cottage cheese. Today I was able to eat half a scrammbled egg with about 1 T shredded cheese. That was yummy!!! I have ABSOLUTELY NO appetite, but I know I have to get the Protein in or my body will stall. Good Luck to all you sleevers anticpating surgery. You got this!!

That's fantastic that you feel so good. I am so worried about feeling like poop for months afterwards. I am scared of the pain, but it always helps to hear about people feeling so good so quickly!

I had surgery on Monday and I feel so so! I do have one incision that hurts like the dickens and it is really sore to get up and down. I have only been able to get about 24 oz of Water in a day. I constantly feel like it stays in my chest. It is uncomfortable so I don't like to do it. Any idea when this stops?

I was sleeved on Monday and my one incision hurts like hell too! Today was the first day I was able to meet both my Water and Protein requirements. Dr has me on Clear Liquids for the first week. Just keep walking as much as you can and try a bunch of different things to drink, I've had water, propel zero, Vitamin water zero, nectar, Unjury chicken Soup, crystal light and Premier Protein and pure Protein Drinks. At one point in time I had 3 different drinks lined up in front of me for variety! It really has gotten better each day. Keep up with the pain meds too. They will help you heal faster.

Yes the one on my right side hurts like hell and that happens to be the incision she pulled the stomach through. I really haven't eaten much but have been able to drink 40 ounces. How do u know when ur sleeve is full.

Little sips I think is the key and walking is the best. I totally agree switch things up.. tazo makes some great caffeine free teas too.I am not sure when it stops, i am day 7 post op and I still get those gas bubbles/pressure in my chest

My Dr. said it will hold about 4oz at a time. So now on day 7 I ate like 3oz of Protein, very slowly. i try not to take big gulps of my drinks either.. They pulled my stomach out on the left and holy shit does that one hurt!!!! It will get better every day!

Hi Everyone,

I was sleeved on Monday the 14th. The first 3 days were ROUGH, the gas was Brutal. I had such a hard time even drinking Water, by day 4 it was much better. What saved me was cold V-8 splash. It was the only thing i could get down easily. I am way better. Now and feeling great. I do run out of steam around 4pm but just power through. The walking helps for sure. Good luck to all of you- IT GETS BETTER!

I'm down 15lbs from start of Protein diet (4/4/14) and can't wait to watch even more fall off!!

Wow that's a long time on clear liquids! My doc says to eat whatever you can tolerate once you are out of the hospital. It's up to me to experiment and see what my tummy can handle... But I'll bet you'll lose a ton of weight this first month :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
