I keep forgetting to eat I'm never really hungry by the time I get home from work ,I have two bites of something and I get full ! Through out the day I try to eat but when I do I barely eat anything yet I feel like I pigged out ! I'm becoming very frustrated ! Does anyone have this problem ! Oh and as for Water I'm not getting enough in even when i try !I know I'm not but its impossible for me !I'm really struggling ! I'm a very go go go go person and I forget I can't do that anymore and when I do , I find my feeling like I'm about to fall out ! I just really hope this doesn't last forever ! Any advise !

It doesn't. How far out are you? If you got sleeved recently, your stomach is inflamed. I believe it can stay that way for weeks.

Listen to your sleeve.....but you must drink a little so that you can build up the acids in your stomach to help to break down the food....Eating a little at first is not going to hurt you...Although if you don't you will start to lose your hair...Biotin will help.....Sip, sip and sip some more.....And if you don't remember to eat because your stomach hurts...Set a timer for every 2 hours and try that for now......Don't take in anything too hot or cold right now your stomach will revolt.....tepid okay....

It will get better I know...I was 5 months in the hospital due to complications with my surgery and I thought I would never ever feel better again....10 months out..I am doing really well...You will too!!!!!

At this point in your recovery your stomach is less inflamed. It's time to put yourself on a schedule with eating a little bit every 2 hours. Since your not getting hardly any food in, your weight loss can or will slow down. Drink a RTD Protein Shake like Premier from costco or Sam's club to get you started int he morning. Eat moist foods to help with getting the food into your stomach. You can do this, it's making new habits of taking care of yourself. Sip every time you get a chance, dehydration is the worst ever. It's not fun. :P

I was sleeved on Monday, I do not find it hard to get my Protein or fluids in yet, so maybe I am doing this wrong. I mix an Atkins shake (15 GM protein) with 1cup milk (8 GM protein) and 1scoop injury Protein powder(27 GM protein). I drink 2 oz every 15 min until it is gone. Takes around 3 hours but 50 grams of protein is out of the way, then I drink 2 oz of Water every 15 min for next few hours then a protein Soup or yogurt for lunch and back to water.

      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!!
