I was sleeved on 4/11/17 and I feel like I didn't even have it done . I can still drink the same I'm not gulping but taking small sips hurt is that normal? I haven't eaten anything other than full liquids but I'm so hungry and don't get why , and I'm not getting all of my fluids in I can only get about half and never got dehydrated. I'm just nervous that something's wrong with me

Shelbymarie18: i was also just sleeved on the 11th. Im not necessarily hungry but I seem to have no problems drinking, eating a decent amount at one time, meaning yogurt or Jello.
I too wonder if this is all normal.

Huh. I had surgery Monday and can almost drink normally but no way on food. Four tablespoons of pudding and I'm done. It's so weird how much people differ. I'm having lots of head hunger but have had zero real hunger so I hope that means chemically things are working.

Just met with pre-op team today. They said that the swelling after surgery csuses the pain and restriction to liquids. Every one is different based on how our bodies respond to the trauma of surgery. I also heard that the 3-4 week point brings a change in the hunger

      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.
