Thanks so much for the advice!! I’m glad I’m not the only one in the same boat and you made me feel sooo much better about the Fluid intake! I feel like with this surgery I will take moderation! I know that once I can I will let myself take small bites of things now and then because if I don’t then I will end up going crazy! When were you sleeved? so glad things have been going good for you!

Sleeved on January 18.

Sounds like me with the Water & shakes. Never a problem. I can chug a lot of Water & have been drinking 2 liters or more since 2 days out. I consider myself lucky. I also get it with the food. I’m on puréed until the 22nd & I have take a few bites of soft foods but chewed it real well. I suggest a good blender if you don’t already have one. I was told I can purée nearly anything I want as long as I only eat half a cup every 3 hours & no that doesn’t mean cake lol but I have had a slice or pizza on Super Bowl Sunday & a burrito in chili another time. Other than that it’s mostly Campbell’s Chunky Soup. Everything I eat has Taco Bell Fire Sauce on it. I use a Vitamix & it is the Bomb! It puree’s awesome!

I like that FluffyChix finds this amusing! 😂

Anyone having pain in the ribcage area when they inhale deeply?

Also, anyone having non stop hunger pangs/pains even when full? This is affecting my sleep.

Sleeved 2/1/18.

Did they have you do breathing exercises after surgery? I’m a little sore in the ribcage when I breathe deeply as well. I contribute that to the soreness my lungs felt after they took the tube out. Have you been passing gas regularly?

Yes they did. I still do it at home too. I just wanted to make sure it's normal. Yes, I pass gas regularly.

Oh good! I would just keep making sure that your lungs don’t get worse. Has anyone had any pain on their right side as well? It feels like muscle soreness on both sides.

Omg I took some GasX chewables and the pain is gone!!! Sweet relief! Thanks for the correct diagnosis.

I haven't had any side pains. Are you sleeping wrong?

      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.
