I had my sleeve done on Jan 10th, Jan 11 was full of #decisionregret. But I am all good now. I stayed in hospital for about 4 days on IV fluids. Could not easily tolerate fluids for a few days but now I'm going good. I am on a 2 weeks post op diet of clear fluids, Water and chicken broth.. the chicken broth was foul so I am just living on 1200mls of Water and 1 tsp of cup of Soup with 150mls of water a day. I am not hungry, very tired but feel the hardest bit is over. After my 2 weeks clear fluids is up, I then go on to 2 weeks purée food and then after that slowly introduce soft foods until I can eat normal food again.

      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.
