I feel like I could wail on a taco salad and some sushi right now. This is getting hard. Six days until full liquids. Will these cravings stop?

It is mostly in your head. You wouldn't be able to eat much if you did have sushi or a taco salad. When are you off liquids?

After this I have full liquids for two weeks then two weeks of pureed food and then solid.

You will soon find out that you cannot "wail" on anything solid. Follow the instructions, or pay the price. Good luck.

It's funny how each dr is different. I was sleeved on the 3rd and have been on liquids. I am allowed to start soft solids on Sat (which cannot come fast enough bc hunger pangs are killing me).

I was sleeved on the first. I don't have hunger, but my mind and my tongue remember how good everything tastes and I'll crave a taste.

It is really odd to me how different every Dr. is. I was sleeved on 6/2. Day 1-2 Clear Liquids, Day 3-6 yogurt, cream of wheat, day 7-13 Soft egg, refried Beans, cottage cheese, week 3-4 is moving to some solids like deli meat and other things. I never knew I would love refried Beans as much as I do right now.

I also was sleeved on June 3rd. I got out the hospital on fri but I did the clear diet thurs -sat cuz I was still a bit nauseous on sat. Anyway Im to do soft liquids until next fri but I see my Nut on wed so maybe they will let me progress to purée's then since everything has been ok. Im just dying for a bowl of my home made oatmeal! As long as I can eat that I can do it for weeks! I unfortunately still have a drain in me so I am really restricted in the moving department. If it just drained I'd deal better, but it's constantly bleeding at the entry point so leaking thru my gauze is an all day event! Anyway I see my doc tmrw I pray he will remove it. Im glad Im not the only one who gets hunger sometimes. Anyone else had the drain for more then the 2-3 days?

Sleeved 6/2. First couple of days I food daydreamed, but not so much anymore. Now I am acknowledging that no matter what food I am worshipping, I cant eat much of it anyways, so whats the point. I actually tried to cheat with some chips and salsa and couldnt.

I was sleeved on 6/5/2015. 7 days Clear liquids so far... Not hungry, but missing food and snacking, and the taste of food. I cant chew gum. Really seeing how dependent I was on food, when bored or upset.. This is surgery will really expose ALL of my inter weakness, which resulted to my weight gain.... buckle up it's going to be a very interesting lesson,

Stay strong fellow sleevers!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
