I know we have stalls but I think I'm broken...or just impatient...IDK!

Ok, I'm not being irrational...I'm worried. I was one of the dummies for lack of a better term that tried to eat a chicken nugget when I had no other food to eat and that was at 2 weeks out. I was also the one that would try to force Protein so that I don't get sick from the lack of and so that I wouldn't loose my hair so easily.

I am also the one that got a hernia repair and sleeve at the same time, then had a horrible coughing spell 2 nights in a row that put me in major pain. I'm the one that thought I could just get my fill of protein with food and blah to the shakes....smh, boy was I wrong!!!

I was also the one that had a JP Drain for 2 weeks when it should have been removed in 1 week. The drainage colors changed from the normal blood and straw yellow color to a green then brown color in the 2nd week.

Basically, I did many things wrong, I don't need you to tell me that. I've told my doctor almost everything but I want to call and ask for him to look at the sleeve and make sure I haven't blocked it or ruptured it because I feel heavy all over again. Like I really messed something up...

Also, when I told him what i was drinking since the Water wasn't easy to go in....he said STOP THAT, those drinks have too much sugar. I wonder if it's sticking to me already. I've stopped as instructed.

Anyone know how sensitive the sleeve is? It's even sensitive to the touch. Is it a normal stall and I'm just being overly worried?

I'm 1 month out, please help if you can either relate or if you're more than 2 months out.

Thanks

A month out? Give it time. What have you lost from surgery to now?

When I was two weeks out I hit a three week stall!

It will happen

      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.
