Just sleeved 4/7, so tomorrow will be officially one week. I'm so excited to have had it done! Now that the production is over, I already feel behind. I was behind prior to leaving the hospital....received so much Fluid I couldn't possibly get it all down. Now that I can have Soups, I'm wondering how many oz of Soup per sitting? I'm trying to get use or distinguish between the "full" versus "gas" feeling.

2 days sleevers. (April 12th ).
Been in hospital 2 days and was able to keep all the fluids they gave me. After a 3h drive backhome got a boost and everything is still fine. Don't have the full feeling yet or gas but I'm sure its around the corner some where.

Had my surgery 4/10. I am also struggling to get my fluids in. I am so sick of the Protein Shakes, it takes me 6-8 hours to finish one. Was super excited to finally eat some Soup. I've been taking Gas-X and it helps. I can't wait to be able to eat eggs & cheese!

I was sleeved 4/11 and excited about this journey as well. I had severe nausea the first two days and couldn't hold down any fluids. Now I'm having to remember to drink or eat broth. It's strange because I don't get hungry just weak if I go a hour or two without anything.

Good luck everyone and I hope your recovery goes smoothly.

I was sleeved 4/7 too! Yay! Finally others! [emoji846] I make Soup like I normally do, then strain it. I only drink about 1/4 cup over 30 min or so... i put the rest in a bowl and pour a little in my cup at a time and heat it in the microwave at work...

I had my sleeve on 3/13/17 and have lost 30 pounds already. I will get to have any texture I want starting next week and I would really love some celery and Peanut Butter. LOL. I sure celery is not gonna fly with new stomach yet but I will try soon. When I first had sleeve it too me forever to drink Protein and Water. Still takes a lot to drink them both but I try very hard. My Protein Drink is premiere but I also like BariWise adds to coffee and water. Found them on Amazon.< br>

      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.
