I was VERY nervous of this too. Previous to the endo I never had any surgery of any kind. It's a very easy procedure and they medicate you so you don't remember much or even care. You will be just fine....I promise!!

I feel u on that....uuuugggh!! I wish this hunger thing would just go away! I really thought this journey was gonna be easier but it's not

I'm also trying to find other protein options without the calories!

I hear ppl talk a lot about isopure on here. Is it calories free? Where can I find it?

Wow this is me too! I wish I was one of those ppl who lost their appetite and it never returned. And I worry that my sleeve won't work either. I am making good protein choices but I think I'm eating too many times during the day 6-8 times. Well I will find out Thursday if I lost any weight in a weeks time.

Ahhhahahah I love the one about the gnat!! Def gonna use that one!!

The pain meds made me have a lot of nausea. Once I stopped taking them I felt way better. It could be just that. Ask for a motion sickness patch to put behind your ear. That helped me too.

I love to eat still which sucks!! I look forward to eating my meals every 2-3 hours and food tastes just as delicious as it did before being sleeved. I cannot eat very much at a time (usually 1/2 cup) but I still love food damnit LOL!! Anyone else feel the same way??

I'm 2 weeks out and I'm hungry all the time. I have been eating every 2-3 hours but very small portions to keep me satisfied. I hope this hunger thing gets better!!

Ok thanks!!

Nevermind I think I figured it out

Great job!!!! I'm still struggling with my liquid intake....But I'm eating fine go figure lol. I'm 2 weeks post op today Not to change the subject but how do I get that weight chart thing some of you have on the bottom of your posts? I'm pretty new to this website and can't figure it out!

*pre op

The ore op diet was the hardest part for me. I felt so out of control I was so hungry all the time. I think I only lost 7lbs before my surgery and my nutritionist kept warning me they may have to reschedule if I didn't get my act together lol. My Surgeon said I needed to loose 20 lbs before surgery. Well I sure didn't make it to 20. The 2 day colon cleanse really helped me loose weight 2 days before surgery. I feel for ya....it sucks but hang in there. You can do it!!!!!

Highest weight was 277. Day of surgery 1/21/13 was 272. I'm now down to 251. 21 lbs lost!!!!

Do any of u have it with cream?

I say go! I was sleeved on 1/21/13 and returned to work on 1/30/13. Just take it easy and don't be screaming and jumping around and u should be fine. Good luck and have fun!!

So I've been reading quite a bit of stories on here and noticed some of you still drink coffee. I was told coffee is a no no so I'm confused. Believe me...I would love my usual morning cup like old times. What are your thoughts on this?

I feel the same way. I can eat a lot too. I think we all have different hunger and capacities after we are sleeved. I would love to be one of those people that is never hungry and who can hardly get 1 egg down. I sometimes feel as though I wasn't sleeved either. If I really wanted to I could eat horrible fatty foods and gain weight too. I'm just choosing not too. I didn't eat anything more than a few sips of broth in the hospital but by the 5th day I was really hungy all the time and still am. I'm 2 weeks out only. I do understand the people who say they are not satisfied with only 4 oz of food but I stop myself at 4oz so I don't gain weight.

You look beautiful!!

Good luck!!!! You will do just fine just believe in that

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on 01/21/13 and am just curious as to how much everyone is eating for each meal to feel satisfied. I'm working on eating every 2-3 hours about 2 ounces per meal. What about everyone else? I was feeling hungry all the time but now that I spread out my meals I'm feeling a bit more satisfied.

Wow....I already forgot how to post a new topic. Can anyone help me? I'm pretty new to this website.

Ok so I tried just one egg this morning and you are right...I only needed 1 egg. I ate another egg 2 hours later. I think what I will do is eat every 2-3 hours so I don't feel so hungry all the time. However, I will only eat very small portions each time. I think that might solve my hunger issues. I hope!!

Awesome! Thanks iggychic!
