    I'm about 9 days post op and obviously I don't feel restriction because I'm not eating anything haha I did move to full liquids though. When can I expect to start feel restriction because as I write I'm eating Tomato Soup but don't really seem to get full from it. I'm not necessarily concerned at all because I do take a long time to sit a drink my shakes and eat etc. but I'm just curious as to when people started to notice the restriction?

    I think it's very normal to be craving certain things especially if you're cooking for your family and watching other people eat things that you can't right now. I for sure am finding it very difficult and gr very very irritated lol I just have to keep reminding myself that this clear liquid/full liquid is only temporary. You just have to keep on keepin' on. I know that even though I'm ready to switch to full liquids, I have not gone off plan once no matter how sad, frustrated, angry I get. My time will come when I can eat a nice piece of broccoli and some salmon for now maybe try having ice chips. It's helped me with the desire for something crunchy but is also helping me get my fluids in

    @@sleeveisa yeah I had to make a deal with myself that I'll only be weighed at the doctors because otherwise I'll obsess over it which ends up sabotaging me every time lol but my surgeon said definitely not to weigh yourself after the hospital because you we most likely weigh more then started because of the fluids.

    Thankfully I've had a smooth recovery and no problems getting liquids in... I suggest ice chips. I think it's honestly how I'm keeping so hydrated because I get the chewing sensation and wait for it to melt to swallow and I have like 4 full cups of ice chips a day! Lol so maybe try that out!

    Just keep taking it slow:) keep me posted!

    I had my sleeve done Wednesday.. I was on a 2 week liquid diet and occasionally lean mean at dinner. I didn't cheat once.. I made it through thanksgiving and all the leftovers without touching anything.

    I'm not hungry and I recognize it's just head hunger and cravings but im just so sad because I'm just mourning all my past habits, I suppose. I see foods in tv or commercials and just crave it. I guess you can say I'm in the regret stage of it all. I think once I can move on to at least full liquids and keep progressing I'll feel better. I'm hoping...

    I used shakeology.. I know it's expensive but honestly I was happy to spend the extra money knowing it's something that i can stomach but even actually enjoy. Of course just like anything else you get tired of it, but I was happy with my choice to use shakeology ! I'm day four post op so i won't know if I'll still like it once I move to full liquids.. but for pre op it was great!

    I'm on day 9 of pre op liquid diet and I've searched through all the threads to try and find some answers but couldn't seem to.

    I'm supposed to be getting 1200 calories in a day with shakes but I can't seem to go past 800 calories. I just feel nauseous but not bad enough where I can't function. I'm drinking PLENTY of Water. I just feel weird a full and I feel like usually one should be miserable and hungry on a liquid diet lol so I'm just confused and a little worried.

    Any one else feel this way?

    definitely can relate. I know it will all be worth it in the end, of course.

    I havent been anxious until about this past week. I've been under plenty of times but its still always the "what if's" that get me, but then again i suppose that is normal. I've heard horror stories so I'm just trying to keep those as far out of my mind as possible.

    I start my liquid diet tomorrow and I think its going to be a rude awakening lol. I just moved home after living on my own for a while and my brother and sister and extended family are all coming at once and none of them know besides my parents so im just very stressed out about having to lie my way through all the "why arent you eating? its thanksgiving blahblahblah".

    I think my biggest fear are the years to come and the potential failure. My head is just spinning. lol im just ready to start my liquid diet tomorrow and get this thing going.
