Hunger. Like, stomach cramping, a little gurgling, sometimes feeling a little light-headed and weak.

I am not a sleeve patient but I know many of them. I am a bypass patient.
I can tell you that this process is absolutely not magic so if you were promised that, yikes. You will have to work hard and it sounds like you are already doing that.
I am a little shocked at how many calories you are eating this early out. As I said, I am a bypass patient and if I eat 1200 to 1300 calories I maintain and do not lose. If I am closer to 1000 calories, I lose consistently.
That being said, you are a lower BMI patient and I would not expect huge drops in weight. You will likely lose much slower than some. That is not a bad thing even though it feels that way. The slower you lose the better you work at building good long term habits.
You did not put on this weight overnight and it will not come off that way either. Also I would just say, this really is not a diet, it is a lifestyle and your body needs time to get used to it.
When is the last time you lost 3lbs per week? That is great progress and you should be very proud of it.
Other than my first 2 months I averaged between 5 and 10lbs per month. It took me 18 months to lose 151lbs and get to goal. The good news is, this is my new life and I have and my body has had time to adjust.
Please be patient and if it makes you crazy put the scale away and stick to your plan. You will get there!
Best of luck to all of you.

Looking for a sleeve buddy to have a friend who is going thru the same thing as me.

It is tough, but you can do it. I had Jello or broth when I was hungry. You are almost there. I do agree that the pre-op diet phase is the hardest.

Has anyone tried a Starbucks drink in the first 2 phases after surgery? If so, what have you tried?

GNC Lean shakes. The strawberry, Snickerdoodle, and chocolate Peanut Butter are great!

You will get it back. It takes a while to build back up to the level you were before. Recovery from surgery and getting used to fewer calories takes the body a while to come back.

Not to late if you are unsure

You need to look for a Protein that is whey isolate. It breaks it further down than just whey and is way more gentle on the tummy. I bought mine at GNC

Happy to hear all went great. Thanks for sharing. I'm going in on 20th, I can't wait. Every Dr you gave to see is worth reaching the better health I'm reaching for. Congrats. Look forward to sharing my journey too

I had Gastric Bypass on June 27. I don't have any problems getting fluids down.
My Dr has me drink one oz of Water every fifteen minutes. I look forward to the 1oz of cream of wheat and pudding. I don't think I get hungry it's probably head hunger. I am adding more 1 oz Protein Shake shots today.
My pain is mostly from gas. I hope my surgery worked. It's weird that I am not experiencing what everyone else is.
Is anyone else getting their fluids down no problem?

How about gas?

I had mine 6/27/17. Gas was the worst pain I had. I still have tons of gas, wondering how long that lasts?
