I'm feeling better, no gas pain just pain at my port site. I'm starving! Anyone else start thin creamed Soups at this stage?

I was on anything you can drink through a straw the first week of surgery.

I am on day 5- anesthesia kicked the crap out of me. I have eaten sugar free applesauce, sugar free vanilla pudding, light and fit Greek yogurt, and chicken broth. Haven't tolerated anything to finish yet and the list above is basically what I've attempted with partial success since surgery. Burping constantly which makes me feel better. Tired, cold, and wondering if this is all normal. If u can tolerate a cream Soup then do it! NOTHING tastes good to me.

I had some cream of chicken Soup today. It took me the whole day to finish one small can, but I'm going to bed satisfied! Tomorrow I will try and add in something else.

OMG - Me too! My surgery was Jan 3rd, and my Dr gave me 4cc's during surgery. How can I possibly be more hungry with 4cc's of Fluid in my band? I swear it's having the opposite effect! I'm drinking the same amount of Protein Shakes I did for pre-op, but now I'm STARVING. Pre-op I had no problem, wasn't feeling hungry at all. Now, since my pain has gone down some, I get to that point where my stomach is screaming at me that I should have eaten hours ago, even though it's only been a few hours since my last shake! Cramping and growling and half-nauseated... I'm so frustrated!

I'm not sure how much I was filled with, but when I was only on liquids, I was starving! I am doing better now with some thicker liquids and trying to get more Protein in.

I am sure I'm getting enough Protein, since I'm doing the same shakes I did before. I had a squeezable applesauce a few minutes ago, and that seems to have settled my stomach. Not sure why the shakes that were so great before the band aren't working now that I have it, but I think you're right Sam - something about that tiny bit of texture really makes a difference!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
