Newbie here. Looking forward to sharing my journey with others who have had the gastric sleeve surgery. I am one week list op today. The first week was awful for me. I really questioned what I had done. I had to go back in hospital for IV fluids as I was unable to get even the tiniest sips of Water down. After receiving the fluids I started feeling great!

Today I started the full liquid diet. Not quite sure of amounts im suppose to be taking in at a time. Still getting use to figuring out when I'm actually full.

Sorry to bring up this subject, but No bowel movement yet so dr. said to take half dose of Milk from magnesia. Praying it moves things along😊💩. Anyone else have problems with bms ?

I'm a week out also. I was able to do ice chips first then very little Water. I did good until yesterday I started craving food. I'm trying to fight the feeling. Just have to break the habit of wanting certain foods. I didn't have a bowel movement till yesterday. Try more water.

In the early stages Milk of Magnesia is your friend. It gets a lot easier when you take in more Water and expand your diet.

I’ve taken milk of magnesia every day and still nothing! It’s really uncomfortable😩.

BMs come after a bit and then don't seem right. Even now I don't have a BM every other day which is what I hope for. I had to start taking stool softners.

      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.
