I would like to add some friends with the surgery date the same as mine so we can help each other in our journey! 4 days pot op and feeling almost human with some energy today. The worst couple of days were def the hardest with gas pain n back and shoulders! Not hungry at all but would love a bannana!!!! Anyone else have an odd craving?

Yes GNC

I have the problem knowing of when I'm full or hungry or anything... My tummy just goes off about all of it.

I haven't tried them' date=' but from what I've read people either love it or hate it. I've tried some of the 'unflavored' stuff. Unflavored my ass! I'll have to try the isopure, do you get it at GNC?[/quote']

I live in fl, at GNC it's 89.99 if you have a Vitamin shoppe near you go there, 49.99. I like the unflavored isopure. I put it in my cream of chicken Soups etc. 5 days post op

I agree. I can't tell when I'm hungry or full!!!

I'm not talking about the powder. There's ready made drinks like powerade or Gatorade. They retail for about $6 and is do worth it in my opinion. You get 40g of protein in along with 20oz of liquid.

To chime in on the hungry vs full thing, I'm not sure I've felt actual hunger yet. And because I have yet to eat any real food, I'm not sure we will get a full feeling yet either.

Schavez I feel the same as u. I got sleeved March 12th so I am post op day 2. Lots of gas and bubbling. Can't tell when I am full or not. Don't know if it is cause of the gas. Had a protein shake, broth and some water today. A little pudding too.

I actually had lasgna last night and after a few bites, I was full. I could definitely feel it. Had some spaghetti today and once again, knew when I was full. Tonight I had some blackened catfish. It only takes a few bites, but then I get the sensation that I'm full and I stop. Feeling great!

Wow!! U guys aren't on all liquids still ???? Damn I was 3/6 and I'm still on liquids

I'm still on liquids but I had a string cheese low fat n yogurt n 2 really small pieces of wanton from the soup I don't know if I'm supposed to be on protein my surgery was march 7th I go to the dr tomorrow is anyone on vitamins?

No. Day 1 - surgery day was water only, day 2 - clear liquids, then stage 3 which is semi solids which is to last until 2 week post op, but no problems so my food is all moist and small bites. I'm not eating a lot of anything. I guess I have moved beyond semi-solids more than it recommended, but no problems.

March 8th sleever here! On level 2 diet ... Puréed foods! Not so tasty though!

I was sleeved on the 7th. One week of full clears and started full liquids today for the next 2 weeks. Not looking forward to these next 2 weeks, but whatcha gonna do...

I was sleeved on 3-8 too. It's not been a lot of fun trying to get protein and enough liquids. I'm tired all the time but figure this will wear off when I get good at getting in the required amounts. I had my stitches out today which was awesome. Sometimes I think I'm hungry but am then unable to drink much or have more than a couple tiny bites of yogurt.

It really is a learning process. I'm very happy to have found some other March 8 sleevers:)
