Hello everyone. I am new to this site. Just had my sleeve done on the 12th. I feel like I'm doing alright. A lot of painful air bubbles and pretty tired still but working through it.

All I can think of is food...not necessarily bad food, just food in general. I can't wait to be able to chew something!!! Anyone else??

I had my sleeve on the 12th as well. Still lots of gurgling, etc but no pain. Honestly I'm struggling to get in my liquids so much that I haven't thought of food at all yet. I'm preparing myself for the emotional attacks down the road over what I can and can't eat. The results will keep us motivated!

Had my surgery on 7/13. Still a lot of gas pain here ! Not thinking about food yet, just having trouble trying to sip all my liguids. Still really weak. But each day I do see a small improvement.

I was sleeved on the 15th and the gas pains are really getting to me. My Dr. said to sit straight up while drinking, it helps sometimes but the gas still creeps back up. I've been walking on and off all day, my husband and I went to the grocery store and walked for about 40 mins or so then we went to a few more places the gas is still present, I hope it gets better.

I can't wait to chew something either, I'm 1 week post-op today and this liquid diet isn't cutting it but I'm loving the results so far so I'm going to just tough it out another week until I can start my puréed/mushy stage

      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.
