I had my sleeve done Wednesday and had several complications and even cried today because of them and the fact I can't meet my Fluid intake goals. The first 24hrs I was only able to 5-6oz, then Friday and Saturday only about 8 now Sunday I forced myself to get 30oz, which should be 48oz by now. I got so depressed and then one of the incisions hurt so bad, I began to regret it. But I pray it only gets better and easier with time.

@esmi2015 mine was 3 months ago. The worst for me was pretty op diet. It was really hard to do the 2 week liquid diet. SURGERY was not bad a r all. I can't eat alot but it's a new way of eating. Just eat slow and you get filled. Hw250 Sw239 Cw 187

I bet it was rough after not ever having a limit on what we eat and I include myself because i know I'm gonna struggle when the time comes. Is that your #?

My surgery was 11/3/15. I finally cried last night over not being able to binge on junk food like my hubby was haha! I don't even like the Cookies he was eating! I realized how silly I was being, reminded myself that I've lost 20lbs and remembered where binge eating junk food has got me. Other than that this whole 2 weeks has been very smooth sailing for me. I haven't had any regret. Surgery was textbook, pain was minimal, I easily met Fluid and Protein goals by day 2, I was only sick the 1st day in the hospital. It has all been a breeze for me (so far). Everyone is different, your experience will be too ☺ Best of luck!

I will be honest. I had my sleeve done June 20, 2015. The first month, especially the first week after surgery, I thought to Myself, WHAT DID I DO!?!? This is HORRIBLE!!! I'm starving!!! Total regret! But after that month, when you can start eating again, I started feeling better and better. Down 51lbs since surgery and I have ZERO regrets. TOTALLY WORTH IT!

      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.
