I was sleeved on 8/23 and my first two weeks I was starving. It's head hungry mainly. It will pass be patience. I know your thinking what ever but a lot of us felt the same way. I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm down 42 pounds. It gets better.

I'm doing good, still have some sort of pain in my right side but will ask next week what it's from. Other than that I'm great. May I was 258 and today I'm 221. Good luck on your surgery.

Just to let everyone know, I did not have a milkshake nor Mac and cheese. I've been on liquids for almost 5 weeks and was having head hunger issues. Buts thanks to the ones who helps when asked and for the ones whom live to judge all I can say is God bless your heart.

I'm so happy, I'm 10 days post op and have lost 14 pounds. I can get really use to this.

For all the smokers out there I am gonna say something on our behalf.
We the bad bad naughty smokers bite our tongues on this subject a lot never daring to say they still do because we get told off any time its brought up or we admit we smoke still.
We get told we never should have got the op if we are just gonna keep on smoking.
Well to be frank its utterly annoying to constantly hear!
People cheat all the time on the new healthy life people keep going on about and bashing smokers with.
they drink coffee/tea/soda eat candy/ice cream/chips/fast food/slider food, they don’t work out they don’t take meds they drink alcohol and the list goes on and on!
But everyone comes down on smokers like we are the antichrist for daring to not give up or if they do for picking the habit back up.
I didn’t have my sleeve to stop smoking I had my sleeve for my weight problems that were effecting my health, it has nothing to do with me smoking my sleeve was not because I wanted to become a vegan health nut who was a purest and only lived a green healthy life.
I had my sleeve like pretty much everyone else as a tool for weightloss.
I was never told to stop and still aint now.
You don’t know a persons smoking habits it could be 1 a day or 500 you take in more crap form car pollution a day than you do if you smoked 1 cigarette a day so anyone jogging out there in the road suck up a nice lung full of smog while you do it.
I smoke roughly 20 a day out of anyone’s interest with an extra filter tip I add on and the lightest you can smoke 1mg of tar 0.1mg of nicotine and 1mg carbon monoxide in each cigarette.
Yes I am annoyed and no I am not feeling guilt for smoking if I did I would never post I do smoke I am actually smoking while I type this!
I am annoyed the smokers are jumped on by everyone but other smokers (and I don’t mean ex smokers) and spoken to how they are some times by some people.
This isn’t a quit smoking forum or an antismoking forum give it a rest!

How long after surgery did anyone wait to have a milk shake?

K everyone I'm really nervous now and scared. Does the pain afterwards hurt as bad as labor or is it tolerable. Fixing to pack my bag and get ready for the new chapter in my life. Wish me luck my sleeve friends.

Thanks, I am going to stay strong. My husband tonight ate hamburger steak with Cajun fries and extra gravy. He never gains a pound. I smelt it and wanted to cheat by I was strong for once and took a walk instead. Go me!!!

Thank you everyone. I am going to stop worrying and try to enjoy my excitement of the chance of a life time.

The only pre-op diet I had to do was Clear Liquids for 3 days as well as no Vitamins during that time. That was enough time for my liver to 'shirnk' enough for surgery. As long as you follow your doctors orders and don't cheat you should be fine. I worried about every little thing before my surgery and everything ended up fine. Good Luck!

I would not go overboard and starve yourself. Follow your doctor's instructions to a T and you will be just fine =) Many of us have even had slips pre-op and still been alright. There's not much you can do other than follow directions, so try not to get yourself too worked up.

Good luck with your surgery too.
