I had the gastric sleeve Monday (1/29) and I really feel ok, my major issue after the surgery is I got my period and I haven't had my period in 3 years due to my birth control and now I can not tell if my bloating is from that or from my actual stomach that just got proved and prodded. I also can not hold any Protein down, I can drink Water but protein has been a problem. Any suggestions?

Same here-I got mine the next morning at the hospital. The nurses said it was totally normal. Hang in there! The bloating is probably the swelling from surgery. Mine took a while to go down but once it did, the odd lumps and bumps post surgery in my stomach went away as well. Try sipping Bone Broth. I bought all this Protein power before surgery and I couldn’t stomach any of t post. Only thing that didn’t turn my stomach was chicken bone broth. It’ll get better!

      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.
