Maybe I need to try tea because I never drink Water cold anyway I prefer room temp .. and so far room temp and cold are big no nos ... are you still on liquids if so what are you eating these days because I can't seem to eat anything but sugar free pops and sugar free pudding ... everything else the smell alone makes me sick

Yes I'm on liquids until day 16 *sigh* I'm still trial and error with everything so far the only things I like are sf pudding, fudgesicles, and my crystal light, still trying to find a Protein powder I like because as of now I use GENEPRO but don't know if I should trust it has 30 grams or not.

Hi all

I was sleeved on 23rd in Sydney Australia.

Still finding Water harder to drink than anything. Protein Shakes much easier than water - really don't like the taste but it has to be done.

Very surprisingly warm tea is easy to drink. I had two cups of ginger tea yesterday and they went down well and felt very healthy and comforting.

Am drinking English Breakfast tea right now in a cafe - it's Saturday morning here.

Good luck with your journeys everyone!

I was sleeved on the 18th. I did not have any gas pains, but I believe it's because I used essential oils in my feet the morning of the surgery and had it reapplied by my husband that evening in my hospital room. I only got nauseous in the hospital once after asking for some Tylenol for the headache I had. It was so syrupy and it was grape flavored, which I've never liked.

When I got home, I did have a hard time getting my Protein and Water down for the first few days. Not until day 4 did I finally get 2 nectar Protein drinks (60g total) down and chicken broth. Of course lots of Water too.

This Wednesday I moved up to full liquid vs clear liquid and now drinking a vanilla Premier Protien shake in the morning, Choclate Premier Protien for lunch and BariatricPal Cream of chicken Soup for lunch. I do water down my Premier Protien shakes with water a little as they are pretty thick.

I had hernia and sleeve surgeries. After walking 1.5 miles yesterday, I was a little sore, but overall doing good.

Bless you on your journey! Would love to hear how you're doing.

God bless!

I had mine on Jan 23rd and boy oh boy am I struggling to get any kind of liquid down without this burning and painful sensation in my chest. Is this happening to you guys?

I had mine on the 23rd also. I am having a problem getting my liquids in. I seem too be ravenous, and when I drink a little Water or Water w/crystal light, I get full right away. I've been mainly eating SF popsicles and sf Jello. I try to sip all day, but it is a struggle. I think it will get better though. One day at a time.

My doctor's office recommended a product called powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. You have to order it from their website, but they deliver quickly.

I like them because they have a sample pack for about $21, and you get 2 packets each of their Protein shakes, 2 of their chicken broth, and 2 unflavored. The kit also comes with a mixing plastic tumbler and a thermometer. This way I can try it inexpensively. So far, I've tried the Soup and it was good!

Just a recommendation.

I had mine on the 23rd as well and with a hernia reply also. Today was the first time I was able to get all my Proteins and liquids in. I've been diluting the slim fast shakes with Water because they are kind of thick. I had my daughter get me some Chinese hot and sour Soup because the broth is like drinking grease to me. So far no trouble sleeping.

Just got home today. I had surgery on the 25th.. Very little pain but the nausea is really tough Every time I try to drink I feel like i'm gong to lose it again. I'll power through cause I have to. If the nausea is only for a few days, I can deal, but if it is longer it is going to cause a serious dehydration and nutrition problem.

Anybody just recently sleeved find they have an increased sense of smell? I do and it makes we want to puke. When the nurses gave medicine through the IV and used alcohol to wipe the tube I got very nauseated from the rubbing alcohol smell. Go figure!

Hi, I'm Suzanne. I had my surgery the 24th. When the new day nurse came in on the 25th, she smelled like garlic and onions...which I used to adore...but. yuck! It was horrid. Then at home my husband got into bed and was reeking of garlic, onions, toothpaste and God knows what else. And the dog....smelled like kibble. Ugh. This is a superpower side effect. Wondering how long it is going to last...

I haven't come close to getting my liquids, protien or Vitamins in but I'm hoping today will be the day! Swelling is going down, incisions are healing nicely and I can lay on my stomach now.

I am on full liquids but just added "real" food yesterday (only Water, and a couple bites of Jello wed and thurs) Yesterday I tried some herbal tea (fantastic!), watery cream of wheat (yummy), cream of chicken Soup spiked with Protein powder, and triple zero Greek yogurt. Only managed a few bites of each but they were all wonderful taste sensations!

I have not weighed myself yet.

Today's goals...liquids, Protein, walking. And measurements. I need to take measurements!

Good luck to all! Our journey has begun!

      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.
