Have a sf fudge pop. Helps squelch the hunger. Clear liquids clear the stomach pretty well...it's not hard to get it in when you consider all liquids count toward your 64ozs. What you use to make your shake, jello, soup, crystal light drink etc...

I'm 6 days in...no punched stomach pain though

My first stage is clear liquids only...then full liquids starting next week

Never. Puts air in stomach

good for you sunshine. I'll have to keep that peanut butter alternative in mond

Feel better

PKinneB. You are making wonderful progress!!! No rollater... Awesome.... No oxygen....fantastic!!! Success isn't always going to be on the scale...its in other places like you mentioned. Your first efforts are for healing not weight loss. Ppl forget...you just has major altercations to your body. Breathe already. If you're at a standstill.. Try doing just full liquids for a week...that should jump start you again.

do your deep breathing exercises you need to get oxygen levels up and anesthesia out

Not doing protein yet...just clear liquids

Had surgery 8-26..also doing well

I sleeved 8/26... Only feel slight discomfort at one of the incision sites, but not enough for pain meds. This is the healing process n we have to give internal organ that has been severely altered a fighting chance at healing properly. Don't get discouraged...this first stage. Hunger will soon get satisfied with full liquids. You alreAdy wondered and pondered before you had the surgery...true, you didn't know you'd feel this was, but you knew already all those other options at dieting didn't work for you so stop beating yourself up. You're gonna be just fine.

Jay sunshine...you feel that way now because of your discomfort level...those gas pain can be maddening... Keep moving ..stretch those arms overhead an burp n fart til you feel better. I was burping all the time in recovery and was far from modest about it. You must get that gas out. Do your deep breathing exercises to get in oxygen and get all those melds out of your lungs. Cough, cough, cough. I got out early because out of the three bariactric patients...I did the best..burp..and excuse me please..I'm trying to recover. :-)

I sleeved Wednesday and with just a clear liquid diet...you get hungry..I did anyway. Hold on though...full liquids is just a few days away n you can have proteins!!!!! Can't wait!

Actual surgery was only about 45 minutes. By the time you prep you're waiting about 3 hours for your tur

My surgery was Wednesday also. I'm doing great. Barely no pain. Burping frequently to get rid of the gas and just a bit of nausea now and again. The medicine does help. Incisions hurt when I turn a certain way so...I don't turn that way. Do lots of deep breathing to get that oxygen so you won't get dizzy walking... How are you doing?
