I was sleeved on 2/28. I'm just starting to meet the Protein goal but the liquid goal I still come up short by about 10 to 20 ounces per day. Tomorrow is my first post-op visit to my surgeon, as well as the dietician. The pains inside have stopped but I've started to feel what I think are hunger pains. I'm not really sure though.

I have to do better it’s like I’m not getting in the correct amount of Water or protein

I was sleeved on 2/28 too. Still on Clear Liquids and shakes until I have my follow up appointment on 3/8 when I’ll be able to switch over to full liquids to include creamy Soups and yogurt. Thankfully I haven’t been hungry yet been hitting my Protein goals much easier than my Water goals. That’s cause I’ve made protein Jello and protein popsicles.

6 day Update: Ugh. I didn't do as well today. I think I got about 20oz of Water in. 30g of Protein. This is gonna be tough. Still very bad hunger pains, and still no solid poop. At least no more diarrhea. I keep thinking about Domino's thin crust pepperoni pizza. Waaaah!!!

Hang in there. You’ll get through this and you be feeling better. Took my 5 days to poop. But I feel ya about the pizza. Watching my family eat releases some heavy cravings.

I'm nearly 3 weeks out and am pretty sure I've hit a stall. My first goal is to get under 200 lbs and I've been a pound over it for over a week. So frustrating! Is anyone else experiencing crazy head hunger?

Today makes 5 weeks since surgery and I feel stuck too. I've been sitting at 201/202 for 2weeks. I guess it's normal. It's also discouraging, but hang in there.

      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.
