thank you everyone for your posts. I dont think its either thirst or acid. I was having really bad acid problems since week 3 and the doctor prescribed nexium which has worked wonders. I am pretty sure that its hunger because I only start to feel hungry once I drink water. I feel really after a meal and wait at least 1 hour to drink my water because I know that as soon I start drinking and the food washes down I will be starving. I drink as much as I can to try and curb the feeling but nothing works. the last think I can think of is gas so i am trying the gas-x and will see if that helps.

I understand exactly how you feel. Being hungry all the time is what got me here in the first place so I had hoped the hunger would calm down afte the sleeve. I spend all day burping so I thought it might have something to do with the pains I have. I am going to start taking some gas x today and see if that helps.

I would love to hear if other people are experiencing what I am currently going through. I was sleeved 8 weeks ago and of about 3 weeks ago I keep having really bad hunger pains. Its really annoying because I feel like Im starving even worse than before the Sleeve. Im not sure what could be causing the hunger and Im getting really frustrated. I was thinking if this could be gas or actual hunger?

What type of protein poweder do you add to your coffee. I find that if I ad protein to anything hot it gets crumblely

Hello April, I sent you a friend request. Please add me to the FB page.

Sounds great Susie, thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try this in a few weeks.

Thank you Smoggy I will try it that way. I've actually been sleeping most of the day due to the pain meds but every time I wake up I try to walk and do the breathing exercises. I need to try and stay wake longer so that I can get in all my liquids.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I was able to drink 4 8oz cups of water, all of my beef broth and a tiny bit of the jello. Do you think thats too much? Im scared that I will be able to eat too much food when all the swelling goes down.

I actually don’t have any gas which I thought was strange. Most of my incisions do hurt with the exception of the one my stomach was extracted from. So I have pain in a large part of my right side. Then when I started drinking water yesterday every single sip I take I can feel it going all the way down and once it gets to my stomach I get a really bad cramp. I was release from the hospital yesterday at 4 but the nurses didn’t have me walking very much. I took 2 laps Monday night and then yesterday no one came to ask me to walk but my husband got me up and walking 3 times before we left the hospital. I hope this pain goes away soon, it is really uncomfortable.

Hey Patrick, I was wondering if you are having pain when you drink water. Everytime I swallow it is very painful and was wodering if everyone else if feeling the samething.

Hey guys the surgery went great yesterday but i have had a lot of pain mainly on my right side incisions. I will be going for my swallow test and hopefully that goes well and i can start on liquids. Sent from my DROIDX using VST

Thank you Smoggy, I wish you and all of the July 2nd sleevers the best of luck as well. God will be watching all of us. I am so ready, lets do this!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. My surgery is this monday and I am extremely scared and excited. I haven't been able to sleep for the past 4 days...I keep thinking they will change my date at the last minute. I am waiting for the doctor's office to call as we speak to give me the time I need to be at the hospital. wish me luck!!!

Smoggy, I feel the same way. I cant believe that next monday I will finally be sleeved. I am so anxious and can hardly stay still. I spend all day cleaning my already clean house just to keep myself occupied...lol

mylifeinpink, that sounds delicious. You guys have put my mind at ease knowing that I will be able to have limes again after surgery. I was really worried about it since they have a lot of acid.
