I was UP 11lbs right after the surgery but that all settled and now back down. I think it's from all the IV fluids and the trauma of surgery. Give it until your 1st Dr follow up appointment.

I haven't weighed myself just yet still trying to figure out to get these liquids in. The gas pain has been horrible but today I am feeling better. But it seems every time I get the gas out as soon as I sip something it comes back

I had my surgery on 11/10.. I weighed myself a week later and was exactly the same.. very discouraging.. I have my first postop appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and I'm afraid cause I know he's gonna make me get on a scale!

I had my surgery on gastric sleev on 11/11 , I was 7 ibs up when I got home on 11/12... I lost the 7, but I'm only 2 ibs down from day of surgery... it's so disappointing esp when you hear people loose 10 ibs or more their first week!

I tried the unflavored Protein today and I was able to get i muscle milk shake down and I puréed a lentil Soup and added a scoop of the Protein to get in my 51grams of protein. I don't feel hungry or full?! I have to get over the head hunger bc when I look at food I think oh if I could it normal I would eat that!! I'm afraid now that what if this is all for nothing!!!!

      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.
