When you think you are constipated and take laxatives and only get gas, because you haven't eaten anything in 5 days.

(And yes, I'm in the hospital because of stricture)

Well you won't ever be able to throw back a bottle of Water in 1 minute... or drink while eating... but the further out from surgery you get the easier it is to drink Water. It took me 15 minutes in the hospital to drink an ounce of water, but today I can drink almost like normal and don't feel thirsty. BUT you do need to make an effort to drink throughout the day because like I said, you can't just throw back a glass or two.

You get jealous of people eating and drinking water, at the same time! :o

This is something I'm wondering ...
Do I will feel thirsty forever after the sleeve?
After we Will drink again like normal people?

And your fiance. Any suggestions. I love him, but worried he's finding what I loose.

Cook smaller portions so there is only enough for supper or take the leftovers and put them in storage containers in the freezer for either a quick supper when you are running late one day or smaller portions for lunch.

When you've thrown out most of your underwear, because when you are sleeping, gas isn't always gas!! lol

Well I've just started this journey and am still Pre-Op but you've certainly just terrified me.

I'm commando all the time, gym shorts for sleeping and those are not cheap >.>

You might be pre-op WLS if you look around and all friends and co-workers have the Facebook app open and you've got the Bariatric-Pal app open doing research and reading stories.

When the sight disabled guy who owns the store in your building says, "You look tired and drawn out."

True story, the almost blind and told me that. I was floored and didn't know how to respond.

      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.
