I was sleeved on wednesday I had no complications with surgery its basically my Fluid intake thats keeping me here. They removed me from my iv so I wasnt so dependent on getting fluid that way but I'm just not thirsty or hungry at all. I dont feel the urge to eat or drink ever and everything I do have is forced so I feel uncomfortable did anyone else deal with this?

Me too! I thought it was just me... I was sleeved Tuesday. Been home for three days and I have to force myself to drink. Protein Water, Protein Shake, and some broth and water. I am going very slowly. I drink all day, but it is probably only around 40-50oz total by the end of the day. I see others who are consuming much more than me. I don't feel bad though, so I don't think anything is wrong. Hopefully it will get better.

I HATE drinking my fluids. I didn't expect it to be this much work nor did I expect to have no desire to drink anything. My doctor said to focus on doing 3 oz per hour instead of 4 so that's what I'm working on. Hoping it gets better soon - for you guys too. Jello has been easier to get down than anything else.

Don't worry. I'm 5 weeks out and barely ever got in the suggested amount of fluids that first week. Just do what you can and DON'T STRESS. Every time I drank an ounce of broth I felt like I drank a gallon. I never really had a desire to drink anything and couldn't even drink my liquid meds at first which was the only real problem since pain is no fun. It will get easier. You will eventually get hungry and want the broth. Good luck!

I have the same problem. I know I need to drink, but every time I try it seems like I'm sucking down large amounts of air. Then the gas hits... :(

sugar free Popsicles helped me tremendously!!!! Water felt like it got stuck but the Popsicles and icy cold watered down apple juice did the trick

Strangely enough, during the 1st couple of weeks I LOVED sf popsicles but drinking anything cold sent my new stomach into painful spasms. Play with different temps to find what works for you.

Good luck to you. You'll feel better soon, I promise!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
