Are u eating regular food now? My sx was on the 17th so I still have a long way to go before I'm able to eat at least mushy foods.

Am I the only one hungry on this liquid post op diet? I thought u would never feel hungry after surgery. I thought that after surgery u would have to force yourself to get anything in ur stomach. I was very nauseous the first 2 days but now I'm just starving. Could it be that my doctor didn't take out my ghrelin hormone?

My surgery is the 17th. Ive had a rough time with this preop diet. Ive really never been a liquid kinda person so i have cheated on the diet. I went online and i looked into diabetic recipe Soup and thats what ive been doing. Its still hard but i prefer that than the LIQUID alone. I understand that after my surgery im only gonna be on liquids and thats ok because what i hear from others u gotta force urself to drink cause u really dont want anything AT ALL but while my stomach is this big i just cant do it, its horrible. Scince my surgery is tuesday im really planning on starting today the liquid only for the next 3 days, hope i can stick to it. Best of luck to everyone. Sent from my iPhone using VST

My sister had the bypass and she says hers increased and she promised me mine would cause im really having problems in that area!!! My surgery is 4/17/12 Sent from my iPhone using VST

I would let her see this link and she would probably realize its not as drastic as the bypass as theres no re- routing or anything else than just make ur stomach smaller. I had the same problem with my husband and he finally gave in. Not that it was his decision but u want ur significant other to be able to encourage u and be there for u. I satrted showing him lots of videos on youtube and he looked for himself on the internet about complication with the sleeve and found none. When i talked to him at first i told him i was going to Mexico to get it done cause it was cheaper and that time he really hit the roof and went crazy looking for someone within the US to do it for me and even helped me come up with the money. My surgery cost is $11,000 not including plane tickets and car rental and other expenses but his going with me and he'll be there for me. By the way, HE was the one that even found this doctor for me. Sent from my iPhone using VST
