Hi everyone - I had a successful Gastric Sleeve surgery yesterday. I got discharged today before noon. You definitely have the pain of gas from your intestines and pain from the gas from the operation. Lots of walking helps get it moving. I feel hunger pains as if Im still hungry. Doc says its mental... however I feel it and to me that is physical. Warm and hot liquids feel much better to drink than cold fluids right now. The cold fluids tend to cause cramping or spasms. Those hurt and are unbearable. Other than that... Im taking it slow and been hitting my 64 Fluid oz. I love chicken broth. Ill keep posting as I get stronger.

@Rose1up! i didn't get hungry in the beginning and i was, like you, actually happy to be on liquids for the beginning cuz i couldn't see anything solid going anywhere and i wasn't hungry at all. but everyone is different. and i agree with you when the doctor says it's mental and you're like, dude, i can FEEL it. maybe you can. i'm hungry all the time now tho i have no appetite i do feel the hunger.

just trust your body. get your Protein and fluids and be patient and calm. :)

      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.
