I had my sleeve done on July 28th and had my first check up this past Wednesday and I am down 17 lbs. I am on the purée and blended stage now. Every time I am getting something I am getting pain in my stomach and than it feels like it's stuck. Please tell me that this temporary and it will go away. I am getting so discouraged and also nervous.

I hope so because I am also feeling these same symptoms. I also had my sleeve done on July 28th. I use my nutri ninja to blend my food and I seem to tolerate that pretty well. It is when the food is not blended well or food is chunky or thick I have the stomach pain and feel sick.

Maybe it's a July 28th thing(my date too). I've found that I really need to make my meals very thin consistency and eat very slowly or I get stomach spasms and pain in my left shoulder. It's hard, because I'm hungry- not ravenous, but hungry. Protein Shakes go down okay, and Water no longer tastes metallic to me. All in all, everyday gets a little better. Hang in there!

I also had severe issues with this. My md changed my Prilosec to two times daily which has improved things very much!

      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.
