I'm done too. Walking every hour and am progressing to 8 oz of liquid per hour. Getting up and down is tricky, but I'm surviving. Hang in there everyone. We'll be great.

I was sleeved on Monday. Had problems getting any liquids in, but today is better. Getting 40 oz at a minimum is a real challenge.

Day 8 post op...boy did I mess up! I'm on full liquids which include cream of chicken Soup so I also bought some cream of potato Soup. Apparently there were bacon bits and other ingredients in this soup! I mushed a couple of small potato pieces in my mouth before swallowing. Holy cow!! I was in serious pain most of the evening.. I see now there is a reason they put you on full liquids for 2 weeks because your body cannot handle much else! LOL I see why they tell you to introduce one food at a time once you are able to eat regular food... Lesson learned I won't make that mistake again!!! ????

I was advised to pass any soup through a sieve for the first two weeks. Hope you're feeling better now.

I get to start puree tomorrow. I can't wait!!

Interesting to read other people's experience this far. I am 11 days out. I can have puréed food for the next two weeks. I have been eating baby food. I know it sounds strange--but I really like it.

I'm 8 days out also, and doing well on the full liquids. My only problem is I'm still hungry. I thought that would go away after the surgery. I think I will start pureed Foods this weekend and can't wait.

Are you sure it is actual hunger? I haven't felt hungry in two weeks.

Make sure you're taking your acid reducer as that can feel like hunger.

I am taking the acid reducer, but at least once a day I feel hunger. I can feel liquids going down and the rumble of food as it is going through my system. I hate the feeling as I want to eat more and faster which I know I can't do.

Had my first pureed meal today. It was pretty odd. Scrambled egg and salsa. At least it wasn't a Protein Shake.< /p>

I get that same feeling. I'm a June 8 sleeve. But it seems to be diminishing.

      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.
