Please don't feel guilty after eating, you are doing the best you can at the moment.

Just stay focused on staying hydrated and the rest will come.

Are you still on full liquids?

What kind of plan does your surgeon have you on?

For me it has gotten easier and I'm mostly focused liquids first.

That's how I was last week. And honestly you just have to keep plugging away at it.

The Soups I could eat almost a whole cup, but wouldn't go farther than that-even though I felt I could. Since starting puree today I get full crazy fast! It's a huge change.

Just stay hydrated and eat as much Protein as your tummy will allow. It will get easier. Don't beat yourself up because you are doing great!

My surgeon said hitting the Water targets was most important followed by protein and Vitamins.

I'm sorry if that wasn't much help...

I've spoken with medical staff which includes nurses. No one will answer my question regarding intercourse. When is it safe to resume?

My paperwork says when you comfortable/ready you may resume.

I have spoken to a few other sleeve peers and one of the girls said she did 5 days post op. I waited about two weeks. As long as ur body feels like is fine. It should be fine. I did felt exhausted the next day but that was to be expected. Just don't do much of the effort. ????

      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.
