Hi all!!

I was sleeved last week 9/1 and I have been feeling great. Only nausea came after surgery.

I was banded in 09. Lost about 100lbs then my band slipped in 2012 and I gained about 50lbs back. Then I lost the weight again and then the band had a leak this January. Now I am excited to have hopefully a better tool, the sleeve.

I am feeling very hungry no food is bothering me I tried tuna fish last night and I had no issues. I want to know if any one else has this ? I guess it is a good thing but I don't want to damage my sleeve but Protein drinks are not filling me up....

@@ceecee26 Are you allowed tuna at this stage? If so - there shouldn't be an issue. Be sure to stay with the recommended amounts. I'm told that you don't often feel full on liquids as they go through the sleeve quickly. Are you taking a PPI? Sometimes stomach acid mimics hunger.

I am supposed to be still on liquids ... But I do not stay full and I'm taking omeprazole I think I'm going to call the dr tomorrow and see what I should do

Good idea! Eating food before cleared can cause complications so I wouldn't eat again until the Dr says you can. Good luck!

I was starving until I could move on to pureed foods. Stick it out, keep sipping. These challenging beginning weeks will be behind you before you know it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
