I'm 1 week post op and have not been hungry at all. But you could try more Protein and Water.< /div>

I am 1 week out also! So far I've lost 14 lbs. I have been able to get 60 grams of Protein in the last couple of days (unfortunately, my goal is 77-96 grams...so I'm still not at my goal).

I have a lot of tummy rumbling, my sleeve is very noisy. I have times where I feel hungry also, but I've seen on this board that many times than can be stomach acid and not true hungry. So I'm trying to just focus on drinking as much as I can and it seems to help. When I really feel hungry then I have applesauce, broth, Jello, or yogurt, those are all on my plan for now. I don't get to soft foods until 22 days post-op.

My surgery was April 13. Am on my first day of soft food after 11 days of puréed food. Everything has worked smoothly. First follow up with my surgeon on the 6th of May. Walking 2 miles a day.

I was sleeved on the 21st and am not allowed Protein yet, Clear Liquids for the 1st week following surgery. I have my 1 week follow up tomorrow and hopefully will be allowed to add protein and be on full liquids.

So not actual powder, all pre made shakes?

Yes, all premade. It seemed like Premier Protein had excellent reviews and most people really like it, so I gave it a try and liked it and stuck with it. I added in the Isopure for variety (it tastes more like unsweetened kool aid). I have ordered a sample of Unjury unflavored and I'm waiting on it to arrive. I hope that I like it so that I can add it to applesauce.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
