For me it was about day 4 or 5 that it truly became easier. After that I didn't even really miss eating. Hope this happens soon for you. Whatever the outcome, stay focused and remember you're doing this for your liver and a better surgery. You can do this. Hang in there!

Odd... I just had this conversation with my doctor today. Apparently I rushed my diet. I'm six weeks out and on regular foods. He told me I should still just be on soft foods. I told him I was just so hungry. He said, "No, you weren't. You just needed a variation on texture."

I promise you - it gets easier! I know how hard it is, but I promise you that is is 150% worth it. Just keep swimming!

Trust me, this is the worst of it. I was completely miserable during the first few days of the preop diet. Low sodium v8 really did help me a bunch, ask if you can drink a big glass of that every day. (I didn't have veggies on my preop diet.. just the 3 shakes.. so I cheated with the v8.. SHHHH! Don't tell!).

It is terrible! I felt the same way.... flavor ite makes sugar free freeze pops, they are on Amazon and they helped me out alot.
I am day 8 post op... I rolled into surgery with my stomach growling and have not been hungry since. Seriously, I would have never believed it! I have even cooked for my family and I couldn't have cared less! That is the very best part! Hang in there, I am not very far along but so far it has been totally worth it!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
