I am so glad you asked about BM.s. I have not either and started to worry. I am having much trouble with getting all the Fluid in as well. The gas has let up but still get sharp pains frequently.

Day 4: How many or how many ounces of Protein Shakes are you drinking? My book says 3 a day but that seems like a lot. What are you guys doing?

I am having trouble getting all the Protein Drinks in as well. Plus, the ones I thought tasted really good before surgery are kind of grossing me out now...bummer. I'm focusing mainly on getting Water in at this point and trying to slowly up my Protein intake.

One of my nurses told me it may take up to five days after surgery to have a bm, but so long as I was passing gas it was okay.

On starving too! I'm so tired of liquids. Wishing I was 3 weeks out so I can eat cottage cheese or scrambled eggs.< /p>

DITTO on starving! I make the Soup broth but then 20 minutes later, I'm hungry again. I've been drinking apple juice and Water but I'm so tired of it. Maybe next week will be better with Protein Shakes, yogurts, and cream Soups. Other than hungry, I feel pretty good. No complications whatsoever

My RNY was July 1 and I've been on a clear liquid and Protein Shake diet since then. The past two days I've been thinking about real food. I'm having cravings big time!

I know I can't risk damaging my pouch so I won't act on the cravings but I'm wondering if anyone else is feeling this, too. Is this what "head hunger" feels like? How do you differentiate between head hunger and true hunger?

And on the poop thread- my PA said it could be a week or more to have a BM. She says long as things are moving (gas) you're ok.

I was sleeved on July 1. I feel lucky that I am doing well. I have a fair amount of energy. I walked the dog, did some light laundry and vacuumed today. I am struggling getting in my Protein. Everything turns me off at this point. I am hoping by next week when I start the puréed stage it will be better. My nasuea seems to have gotten better today but still struggling with Proteins and even chicken broth. Skim milk and liquids are tolerable. Does anyone know when the burping will end?? I don't burp and this is ridiculous. I am a lady :-) and can not go back to the office burping after every sip. I know waking helps but as mentioned above I think I am doing well on my activity four days post op.

Wow!!!! Walking the dog already!! That's bloody awesome! I feel like a lazy butt now cause ive pretty much stayed in bed watching tv and lapping up everyone doing everything for me! I'm sick of the burping with every sip also, it's frustrating, and I'm hoping it's going to go soon!

It's day 6 and the gas seems worse today than yesterday. I get up and walk but it seems worse.my belly is so sore and distended. When the gas started passing the day before yesterday I started feeling really better. That was my last day on clear fluids. I'm wondering if it's the addition of the Protein Shakes. Has anyone else felt like gas increased when they started phase 2?

      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!!
