same situation!! i had no pre op diet either. sleeved on 1/9. down about 14lbs! being home and recovering i now realize that almost every commercial on tv involves food or car insurance. i'm having trouble with head hunger! i distract myself and it passes but it has been rough!

i am one week out and only on clear liquids at the moment. i start full liquids on thursday. i have no problems getting down my isopure (even though i'm so sick of it) and the required amounts of water either. luckily i haven't had any gas pains. i'm worried that once i move on to full liquids and foods that i will start experiencing the symptoms that people keep mentioning - the nausea, gas, etc. i don't think its strange or that your sleeve is too big. i think we are LUCKY!!!! LOL

I start my full liquids on Thursday after a week on Clear Liquids (i'm SO SICK of isopure! bleh!). I'm going to be drinking my Protein shakes and trying out skim plus or 1% smart balance milk for the extra protein. I'm pretty excited for the sugar free fat free pudding - can't wait to eat something delicious. i HATE adding the unflavored protein to things. i can ALWAYS taste it. i've only tried GNC unflavored so far. Does anyone else have a hard time with the taste of the unflavored Proteins?? any brands i should try? also, does anyone know where i can get samples of protein besides Bariatric Advantage???? they only have one kind of sample, i'm looking to try a few different brands. i am allowed to have non-fat, non-greek yogurt that is under 180cals with less than 2g saturated fat, and 14g of sugar per 8 oz. serving. i'm not a huge fan of plain yogurt and was wondering if it would be OK to add some cinnamon to it. has anyone ever tried this/does anyone know if this is difficult for my new tummy to handle?
