10 days out-- questions!



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done 4/23, I'm still on liquid diet. I'm so confused, because i hear about the "honeymoon period" where you're not hungry at all, and this hasn't been my experience AT ALL!!! I feel like im starving.

Also, in the last few days, liquid has been going down so much easier! Too easy?!? I can drink 8-10 oz of broth in one short sitting. Am i stretching out my pouch already?

And I do not have trouble at all meeting my Water goals. I put mio (calorie free flavor) in my water, and i can drink it just fine! I mean not CHUG IT, but i can do a decent gulp without it hurting my stomach like it did in the first few days. Is this bad?!?

I don't see my surgeon again until the 9th (6 more days).

I was sleeved on the 25th, and have had no real hunger and I’ve had a challenging time getting in fluids.

I have heard of others having an experience more like yours, though.

And please believe me, as your food path gets thicker things added you will find LESS feels like More! You have quite a road ahead but you are strong, you will be successful, and it all will be so worth it!
I had self-doubts in the begining, but now I am 8 months out, I have lost nearly 100 pounds since surgery, 140 since my highest recorded weight. This is at 73 years old and the Baseline Metabolism Rate of a Sick Sea Snail. I had a bunch of minor struggles so I didnt bounce back rapidly as most. But my body finally caught the reducing big and I am rocking it. Started out in 28 and 30W, I am now a 20 and soon heading for an 18 because my slacks, which I got on clearance at Wal-Mart, unless I can sew belt loops on, they are coming close to falling off, especially if I take a deep breath in and I find it fantabulous. Don't remember when I was THIS SMALL- maybe after Tomkitten's birth and he will turn 40 on the 12th of June. Oh I have some saggy stretched skin, but it is controlled- able and nothing beats being so much smaller. I used to have a BIG BOOTY, belly still loose but my rump is getting toward normalcy, maybe that's why my pants are falling
down, I no longer have a fat shelf to hang them from! 😛🚩😛

      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.
