Hey Belinda,

It took an entire week and one day then it just changed over night. I had energy and I didn't have to use my meds anymore.

It's called GENEPRO...I love it so far. On another hand I hope you feel better soon as well. Everybody is different when having this surgery. I've heard so many different stories...me myself I think it was pretty good...I didn't have a lot of pain and I feel normal now at 14days post-op. Walk,walk,walk that should help with some pain.

GOODLUCK????

Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I had my sleeve done on Dec 10th so going on 4 weeks. At my 1 week post op appt I told the nurse that I was feeling hungry and I still am! Im a little disappointed because I was hoping I wouldn't want to eat after surgery! Im supposed to be doing puréed food for 1 more week but it's killing me. I want to eat normal food, even a salad! I've been eating baby food cheese puffs with hummus, Soups, mashed potatoes and eggs! I don't go back to the dr until Jan 15th but I've seen other posts saying their Drs have okd normal food after a couple weeks. I guess I'm just looking for advice because I'm afraid I'm hurting my sleeve without knowing I'm doing damage. I've had some cheez its, a handful of microwave popcorn, etc and nothing seems to bother me!

I had Dr. Tuggle for my surgeon in 12/28. So far the acid reflux is the only bug issue. I'll be happy to be someones buddy I need the support also.

I wish I could say that I found lots but the truth is I didn't. I wasn't feeling very well but when I was i made different Soups and strained the broth for myself. I got tired of chicken broth. So I used different herbs etc. Jello helped a lot. And popsicles made of crystal light. Sorry I can't help further.

How are you feeling?

      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.
