Its so strange how we all react so different...I was sleeved June 2nd and I have barely any gas pains, but my stomach is sore and tender. I'm not having any problems keeping liquids down at all...I just have to make sure I take small sips.

I know that this might sound corny but im so glad i was able to pass gas for the first time yesterday since surgery on Tuesday. I see his surgery kinda pushed a reset button on my body because on top of being sore, my cycle came back on this morning. I jusr went off my last cycle less than two weeks ago....uggghhh

I'm 5 days post and tried a Protein Drink and felt a lot of pressure . It's the first time I've felt like I had filled up pouch.. Wondering is this normal or should I wait another couple of days before I try again. I've just been on Clear Liquids.< /p>

i have to echo what everyone else is saying, had surgery 6/4 so 4 days postop. It does get better every day. A little more energy a little less pain. My gas pains were pretty bad too. And just burping or coughing or sneezing is painful. But I am noticing I am better able to differentiate between fullness and pain. Good luck everyone!

      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.
