Seven days post op and dreaming about food

Seven days out, pain mostly gone although it was much more than I expected. On the liquid diet for two more weeks and can't stop thinking about eating real food. I'm even dreaming about eating food. Does this get better?!?! I know it especially hard with it being Christmas and all, but soup and protein drinks are making me crazy. 5'4" 31y/o SW 320 CW 302

I'm also 7 days out and don't know if it ever will. I am also struggling with breaking down and eating an scrambled egg. I WANT food. I'm so sick and tired of this Water, SF Popsicle and Jello. I have 1 & 1/2 week on Stage 1 (clear liquid) and 2 weeks after that (Stage 2, full liquids) Hell, I'm excited about stage two...lol

But hang in there, we'll be able to eat sooner than later

I dream about food too and get sad thinking about how I may not be able to tolerate my faves for a long while

I'm 16 days post op and feeling super weak --- hard to get in fluids and Protein due to hernia pain in chest and was in the ER on day 11 due to dehydration

I'm 31 and 5'7" --- surgery weight was around 236 and current weight around 217

I feel the same way! I am so ready to eat real food!! Every time I have to drink a protein shake I feel like I am going to vomit! I want steak and bread!! I had my sleeve on Dec 17th and waiting on the real food day!

Oh no! I'm super worried about this. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 19th. What's the eating plan after that? I have learned a lot but don't know what to expect exactly. I meet with the nutritionist on the 14th to discuss diet post op. What can I expect?!
