I also had my surgery on the 7th. I am on semi liquid diet which includes yogurts, protien shakes, and puddings. Still getting stomach spasms here and there but the meds help. Also feel some pain in my chest/high stomach area at times, but I am pretty sure that is still some gas stuck in there. It's right where your ribs connect. Also still feeling alot of pain in my one incision. Thought this would be more like having a cesarean, but man was I wrong. Lol

I've had hunger headaches but little head hunger. Only today did I experience wanting to eat things I couldnt. Though, it sort of is back. Just trying to focus on the fact that eventually the feeling will pass.

Thought of the day is I just got hiccups for this first time this afternoon. And holy Sh*t. I almost went into the damn light guys. Abdominal muscles are used in just about everything... Being fat- who would've thought it.

I was honestly scared to death I was going to damage myself drinking too fast. I have a 64oz Water bottle I ordered and I small cup I marked at the 4oz line. I make sure my cup is always full and I'm able to get around 66 oz a day. Just sipping my life away lol. I got afraid in the forums that I was going to be sent to the hospital for dehydration. So I made sure that's the first priority.

I had psyched myself out way more than I needed to. I had surgery on 11/3. Everything is going great! Incisions are almost healed. I have the slightest bit of muscle pain on the "big incision" side. I'm eating and drinking right at the minimum. The most difficult thing for me is all this tracking whether it be the Vitamins or "meal" or fluids or Protein. I honestly feel like if I'm awake I've got something in my mouth. I started full liquids yesterday. It's super boring. sugar free pudding, milk, creamed Soups, etc. I'd rather drink Protein shakes, if I'm being honest. I haven't felt true hunger yet and I don't ever want to again. I've lost 2 pounds. I can't say this is the "best decision I've ever made"...yet.

I too was Nov 7th sleever. My first day after surgery made me feel like I'd made a big mistake. I have Fibro myalgia and all of the needle sights absolutely stung. I got the sleeve done hoping that the weight control would help my pain control. It's going to be an interesting ride. I am enjoying the recipes and practical advice from the "Nutrition for Weight Loss Surgery" book that my dietician recommended. Also found a nice thick and creamy Protein shake by Giant Sports called Delicious Protein powder Elite. I have no problem drinking enough Water, shaved ice goes down well as a change from sipping it and I pretend that the ice is an iced coffee, the taste isn't the same but at least I'm being creative and staying hydrated.

Is so difficult to have a health issue while going thru surgery...I understand you I am also diabetic and it has been a little bit more rough that just only having gastric sleeve I hope our decision will make us healthier and let's keep going so one day we look at this and say Yes it was all worth it...

It will be! Think of yourself just like a baby coming out of your mama's womb. You would never hand that baby a steak or all these chemicals in this fake food. We want to get into real

food, albeit blended up in a ninja, as soon as possible. Making old fashion cream of wheat or maltomeal with I sweated almond milk (to make your own, 1 cup almonds, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 4 cups Water in a Quisinart for 3-4 min, strain) old fashion egg custard (hasty pudding-from YANKEE Doodle) with real vanilla bean or lime or lemon juice. You can add a Protein scoop, stevia or just extra egg white for a Protein boost. Real food -hidden nutrients. Also, since we eat so little, invest in organic now.

Hi Roxy, I too had my surgery on Nov. 7th. I am happy to say I feel better everyday. I ate nothing for the first 3 days because anything I even thought about ingesting made me very nauseous. On day 4 I finally started with a Protein shake. My problem is, when I "eat" my stomach feels as though it's "grinding" for lack of a better word. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?? I am so excited about this journey and want to be as successful as possible.

Good morning I think sipping on warm Water or even tea will help you a little bit as far as me at the beginning my esophagus felt like a chain of spikes and I felt every movement going down and with the gas it was not helping at all...but just sip sip sip and if a certain liquid doesn't help try something else but drink slowly

      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!!
