So I had my sleeve done yesterday!!! Feeling ok today. Much better than expected. Nothing by mouth yet. Feeling thirsty, slight nausea. But feeling blessed to be up and moving around.

Glad you're doing okay. I was surprised at how much easier it was than expected. I was nauseous on Day #1, but felt good and was up and walking. Take care and good luck on your WLS journey.

Have you noticed any difference when you sip warm broth versus the ice Water? I am 18 days post op, and ice cold fluids cause spasms. I get pain if I gulp rather than several baby sips. I drink a lot of Crystal Light in cool, but not cold water. Try varying the temperature and take smaller sips.

Oh, I also found the lemonade Crystal Light gave me pouch pain. I switched to fruit punch and citrus and they are less acidic and irritating than lemonade.

@briswife15 omg... that’s what it feels like, some sort of spasm. Ok, noted. Will try warm rather than cold & hold off on the lemonade crystal light.

      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.
