The surgery went great minimal nausea. I did have issues with gas traveling down my arm and shoulder and boy was it excruciating! My question is I have no issues drinking Water etc. I read on here many times people say it's very difficult to drink. I want to be successful so hoping I am just one of the few that didn't have that issue. I also have lots of tummy rumbling. Can not tell if it's hunger or gas.

My gas stayed in my chest and was horrible. I was also sleeved on the 13th. And my tummy rumblings so far have been gas for me, not hunger.

@@cogal - I still have strange tummy rumbles. Oh well, I'm much smaller, healthier and energitic. A few strange sounds don't bother me much, and they occasionally crack me up.

glad to hear you are doing well. Today I had 8oz Protein shake, two sugar free Popsicles, 1/4 cup broth and lots of Water. Are you able to eat that much?

Um, not really. I have about 2-3oz of broth, Soup, or applesauce, at meal times, and then sipping Water all day. I go through a 16oz bottle of water all day. But I can't have more than 3oz of anything at a time or I feel sick.

      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.
