I'm still not sure about the whole no hunger thing. I have a couple days I feel like I am starving all day and then I have a couple where it is 3 in the afternoon and all I have had is a protein shake. I heard it takes time to get all the hunger hormone out of your system. Maybe that is it. I am still on liquid diet for 9 more days, doc requires 3 weeks. How is everyone else doing with hunger?

I'm feeling the same way....kind of REALLY confused about food. I'm only 6 days out, but, I'm still confused. It takes awhile for everything to settle down and make things right again with my organs, but no one really gave me a frame of, "Ok, at 1 week out, your eating will probably look like this.......and at two, like this........." I think thats why I'm confused. All I have is the nutritionist paper saying you need 70-80 grams of protein and 8 glasses of water and heres what you can eat.
uhhhhh.......I know I have to work my way up to it, but whats a normal amount of protein for a week out, or two, or three?
I'm also still in a bit of pain. I'm pretty sure its not gas pain, but like...insision pain. just general pain that I'm trying to work through by walking and doing and resting.
Otherwise, friends and family have been telling me I'm doing a good job. My dad is mailing me a scale, so, I don't have one in my room yet, but, it may be a fun surprise to wait until my 2 week-appt on the 11th. I guess we'll see!
and meemhull. I think what you're going through is normal. Its funny, I was talking to my dad and I was telling him about not being able to finish things....that I was just full. He said, "Well, don't force yourself, thats how you got to this point in the first place." I laughed so hard (even though it hurt) I think if you are having your protein (with water) you are getting your protein and your water in. How could that be bad? Your body is still adjusting. it takes upward of 3 months for our bodies to adjust to any change. Physical, emotional, mental....no matter what...this is ALL THREE. Its going to take its time changing. and we're going to be there for it, just like its always been there for us. :)
Go Team April!

Hello!
I am 3 weeks out today. Feeling pretty good. I have been struggling with feeling really cold (it has been in the 80's here) and feelingretty tired. I realized that my vitamin did not have iron in it so I found one that did and it really has helped.
Doing okay with weight loss. 14lbs since surgery. I would like to have more.. But who wouldn't.
No real pain anymore. Sometimes am little incision discomfort but other than that, not much.
So happy I have the sleeve!

I am 10 days post op and having a few issues... I have not been getting my 8 glasses of water a day, yesterday I barely got 2 glasses, im trying harder today. I hate my centrum chewables... I did not ask this but why cant I just take regular centrum? will it not obsorbe? oh and the iron im taking is not a chewable is that ok? im so confused. as for what I am eating since im now on puree, im still barely eating anything, yesterday I had probably an ounce of puree tuna and got in 1 protine shake but could not get a second in.
I am still in a little pain, mostly in my new stomach, its more like discomfort. I just hope I will feel normal again soon, I miss life.
