Mwestcons: thank you for ur response. I will try with milk, I think the cramps make me stop eating or drinking the shakes, I think I am putting in too much! I guess I really don't know if I am full or not? Hope things improve each day, going back to work for half day tomorrow.

Hi! I was sleeved on June 26 & have dropped 10lbs. I am just trying to focus on staying hydrated. Unfortunately I've not been able to keep it all in. Going to try Imodium AD tomorrow but afraid I'm to late. Any suggestions on how to keep my fluids in?

Hey I'm a RN and Imodium is a good idea prob need to replace the good bacteria in the gi track to slow you down try some activia yogurt

Just keep drinking !

I had the same problem and my doctor told me to take Imodium and add vanilla activia Greek yogurt.

Hi June 16th for me, just wanted to join the conversation. My surgery has gone really well, I feel almost normal. But my scale hasn't budged for the last week. I guess I need to change things up. I went onto pureed foods yesterday, and WOW! How full did I feel after having about 2 teaspoons of butternut squash! I had to really slow it down to get in half a cup.

      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.
