OMG same thing here and I had surgery last Wednesday !!! I had very bad discomfort and short of breath and pain today. I too am getting hungrier. I progressed to strained broccoli cheese Soup tonight mixed with some chix broth...it was sooooo good seeing as I have been on straigh clears since I left the hospital. I walked around and did so much I am dizzy and exhaused and still have that pain come and go ...hand in there, we will get through this ! BTW...I get Body Fortress Protein at Walmart, it is VERY tasty ...mix it with milk, taste like a milkshake... Hang in there I did see today I have lost about 5 lbs since Wednesday so a little progress plus I lost almost 10 lbs pre-op diet wise. I forgot to document weights before the journey began so I am not completely accurate ...NOW I am keeping tract though

Thanks, that helps !

Now I am 5 days post op...I did a LOT today around the house and walked 1/4 mile, I am right now dizzy and exhausted...I am hoing for more energy as the days go by ....every person is different I am hoping !!!

I too post sleeve was a dessert, snack chocolate and complete sweet junkie. Things called out to me and I had to eat them..hungry or not, eating the rest or not, didn't matter. THAT is what I am NOW afraid of. I am only 5 days post sleeve and craving EVERYTHING bad for me. I am following my diet to a t and really haven't lost ANY weight since day of surgery. I lost 10lbs pre surgery. I am kind of freaking out in the head right now. Anyone offer some advice for me ? Please ?

squash ! As in butternut squash

me either, so I sit, walk and sip, lol

Thanks ! I am not an excercise fan but I need to start making changes .....

I know what you mean. I cooked dinner for everyone last night and had to watch them all eat. I was sad and wanted "food" SO badly. I am 5 days post-op and got conflicting food info . I am waiting on a call from the surgeons office (have been waiting all day and have called twice actually) to see if I can have something other than clear liquid. I HAVE to walk more. Not a great "feeling good" day for me, took a nap gonna watch a show then walk. Are you doing any chores like vaccuuming or anything yet ?

I have to walk more ! How much/far and how long do you walk those ten times ?

I am 5 days now post-op and haven't lost not one pound! FRUSTRATING and not rewarding right now

So far not too bad. Today I find I am really hungry,believe it or not. I have conflicting post op diet info. I have one sheet that says Clear Liquids and one which include like creamy soups...so I am so hungry tonight I put one ounce of cr of chicken Soup and mixed it with broth and strained it. I didn't even finish it.

I haven't lost a pound yet, discouraging right now. I sip and drink like I am supposed to trying to get my Protein in and my liquids.not always easy. Feeling kinda ill tonight , belly hurts and I'm bloated.

Good Luck to you ....Let me know how it goes for you. What is your surgery date ? Feel free to private email me too...

Claudia, I live in Keller also. Small world !!!! Good to have a local girl !!!!

OK 5 days today and have been feeling decent alll day. Now all of a sudden over the course of an hour I am real bloated a little nauseated and pretty weak.???? WTHeck ? Any ideas ?

Dr. Marsden did mine. Great overall experience.

Fassidcc4-

I had my surgery same date as you. Why oh why am i hungry ???

You need some Protein. I went and go some Liquid Protein from Walmart, it isn't top quality but it helps.Mix it with some Water . Rest, take your meds , or try not taking your meds, that could be doing it to you too. Are you walking at all ? I am 4 days post op and am doing well. I felt like you do for three days and once I got some liquid protein I felt MUCH better. Hope it helps and I hope you do better !!!! Huggs

Hi Lbeauty,

Who is doing your surgery? I am 4 days post-op. So far a few frustrations but otherwise A OK !!!!

Hi,

Just had mine done March 28th...!!!! 4 days post-op. Surgeon was Dr. Marsden and I had my surgery at Baylor Trophy Club Medical Center. Who is your surgeon ?

You look awesome ! Congratulations

I'm doing the same thing !! I don't understand the Clear Liquids for so long. I want to chew !!! grrrr or have something with some sort of substance to it !!

OMG poor thing, I am so sorry for you complications. I pray you get better soon !!!!

Hi Lisa ! I was sleeved the same day ..Liquids are difficult still for me. I am actually going to get up and out of the house briefly today in search of some better clear Protein and sf drink mix. What I have doesn't ;like me so far .. I feel super weak because I am not getting in Protein. I did make a Protein shake yesterday and sipped on it throughout the day to get something in. I have pain still and pain when I drink sometimes and find it easier to drink sitting up straight or even standing ! strange I know.

You can do this, we can do this ! Just breathe walk and sip ! And take an occassional nap !!!!

Thank you so much ! I am going to go find myself some different Protein today. All I have is Protein Shake Protein Powder.< /p>

Thank goodness! I am having the same issues and I am 3 days post-op. COnfused about how to get in Protein when I have to be on Clear Liquids ? The only protein I have is from pre-op when I drank Protein Shakes w the powder. I am sipping constantly and I actually think I feel hungry or it could be gas,I have no idea how to distinguish. When I do drink, every other sip seems to case some pain temporarily and I have gurgling...maybe I need something heavier ?Feeling weak and tire easily. I also feel like if I don't sit up straight it bothers me, as in some pain when I drink.....does any of this make sense? I welcome all help and comments :0)

Awesome !! Keep on goin!.....
