I was sleeved on 6/11. Pretty miserable since. Today is better. Gas pain much less. I'm getting Protein and Water in. Not easy. My surgeon's PA tells me that my 13 year old Type 2 diabetes "appears to be resolved." !maybe this won't be so bad.

Don't worry, it gets much better and quickly! I found mixing 20 oz of Water with 2 packets of indiviual serve Crystal Lite or other flavorings and then throwing in a scoop of natural or vanilla Protein Powder in a water bottle tastes like lemon mirangue pie. This gives you 20 oz water, 20 grams Protein and 60 cals.

It really does get better every day. Time drags out so slowly in the early days, but in a few weeks, you will be feeling MUCH better and in a few months you will feel completely "normal".

It will get better trust me! I am post op day 10 and feeling awesome. Back to work and I am a nurse so it is pretty crazy. Up until day 3 I thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life. Gas pains were unbearable!! Go to cvs and buy chewable simethicone- it really made things much better for me and got rid of the discomfort.

      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.
