We all cheated. Just make damn sure you dont get out of control with fats and sugar.. And make damn sure you stick to the plan to a T .. three days prior.. You dont want to be the one sent home cause the dr could not operate. Imagine how u would feel.. You can do it. stay strong.. also my pre op ( what little info i got ) included fruit and yogurt up to the night before surgery.. so maybe if u feel the need to cheat you can stick to those two things..

oh i thought it said u were 8 days pre op.. Oops sorry.. Its ok.. Anyway. we all cheat when we can..

You've been sleeved? I couldn't eat much after my surgery and if I ate something that I shouldn't have, I paid the price.

Are you drinking protein and liquids? You have come too far and been through too much to mess up now!!!!! The hunger is only in your head try eating ice chips. Your body has been through a major surgery. You just have to hang in there and be strong. Please, please do what you know is right so this can be an amazing journey. Here is a big HUG ()

My pre- op diet allowed me to eat a small meal for dinner in addition to 2 slim fast shakes and 2 Atkins. The small meal was 3 oz. of chicken, turkey, or fish with two cups of salad or 1 cup of cooked veggies. That small dinner got me through.

Listen honey. At day 8 i was starving too.. This is when i started eating eggs and cottage cheese. Some doctors order a ridiculous post op. You can start on high protein shakes and puree foods very soon.. Hang in there honey. I was starving too. In fact im one month post op and im starving every two hours.. Make sure iys not stomach acid. That happens after surgery too and it makes you feel hungry. Unfortunately a lot of never lose that hunger feeling like we wanted.. Make sure you are well hydrated..

you know what is the most weird things to me is.. after the surgery everybody say that, there having problem with drinking water or swallowing food. But to me i have none of those problem at all. every time when i drink water i can drink as much as i can, don;t feel any uncomfortable on my stomach. i feel nothing uncomfortable to me at all. is that sounds weird to you ??

No. I had no problems either.. I started eating pureed mushy food by day 10. No pain. I can gulp water and lots of it. Water and other thin liquids basically run straight through you. You wont feel full until you start eating food.. Your stomach doesnt have very much feeling right now because they cut the nerves during surgery. Be careful and dont drink more than 8 oz at once. I could easily drink an 10 oz shake at day 8 and still felt fine. Listen to your body. A lot of us have a very easy recovery and we wonder if this is normal since we read about other peoples problems. Most girls i chat with have had no pain and can drink lots of liquids. You should start to feel full on yogurt and cottage cheese and eggs.. Then when you move onto solids eat very slow cause you will be full in two or three bites.. Later on like six months later we should be able to eat half a cup of food at once.. And no matter what i eat or drink im still hungry every two hours

I too was released to soft foods on day 7....every doc is different, every patient is different. The only thing I suggest is you have to learn the difference between head and real hunger....also make sure you are getting all your liquids in that makes a huge difference!

As previously said... water will go right through your sleeve. As for the post-op diet, start on puree and soft foods. See how your body accepts them. Graduate from there. Everyone is different and heals differently. I am 4 weeks post op, I have not had the "hunger" pain and unlike you I had problems with getting enough water in. Being here I've learned a lot and then you take the information and see which works for you. I eat solid foods some days. A couple bites fill me. Just chew very well. I found this schedule below that helps with my daily intake. I may not follow according to the times, because of my own schedule but it gives you a general picture. The only thing I have changed is that I stop water intake 15 minutes before meals instead of 60. My doctor said it was fine considering water goes right through and doing so allows me to get my water intake up. Good luck. Take things day by day.

Tweek it for yourself but make sure you don't drink until at least 45 minutes after eating. Let your sleeve digest the food itself. It will cause you to feel fuller longer. You don't want to flush out your food with water.
