New here, had Sleeve on November 3

[Lynnie]

I just wanted to say Hello and introduce myself, my name is Lynnie and I had my Sleeve surgery on November 3 . I think I am doing great! Just wish I wasn’t hungry and am really sick of broth and jello! I am having no other problems at all !

Welcome Lynnie! The pre-surgery diet and just after surgery is probably the toughest because of the restrictive nature of those diets. Hang in there, it will get better once you eat regular food!

Hey Lynnie, welcome to the "loser's club" and this group. You'll find so much support and helpful info here.

One of the bonuses of the restricted diet is having less room to make unhealthy choices that might have been unbearably tempting pre-surgery. You have done amazing things to get to this point, and you CAN do this! Hopefully sipping lots of water and getting your protein in will help with your hunger.

Best of luck!

Thanks everyone, I had a diet change today, finally got to have something other than broth and jello! I enjoyed some soup.

Thank you! I am feeling great, even with the little hunger it is so worth it! I am already down 12 lbs. in a week! I went out today and got a few sugar free drinks to help with hunger, bored with water! Lol!

Hi, Lynnie. Welcome to the group. I had to laugh when I read how excited you were by soup. I remember being thrilled with each new phase like YES! It sounds like you are doing great. Once you get into heavier food phases, some of that hunger will go away. Keep up the good work!
