The anesthesia can sometimes have different effects on people's psyche. Also, your body has just been through something pretty traumatic. Personally, I was uncharacteristically emotional for a few weeks post-op (and a little depressed). Be easy with yourself, you've just had surgery.

Chicken pureed with a tiny bit of mayo or Greek yogurt and different seasonings (curry powder is great), same with salmon/tuna/crab, cottage cheese with some sugar free jam, refried beans with a little taco seasoning and salsa, cream soups with added protein powder.

So I’m on my 2 week preop liquid diet and we decided to go camping this weekend. (Which was its own brand of hell in itself). I decided to freeze a couple bottles of Premier so they could naturally thaw in the cooler Saturday and be cold for today (Sun). Oh man, it did some weird separation in the thawing process and ended up being chunky. So not only did I have to endure my family enjoying grilled hamburgers, corn on the cob, and s’mores around the campfire, I had to choke down chunky peach premier.

I am two months post-op with the sleeve. Getting all my protein, but carbs are hard to get unless I drink Gatorade everyday. I feel like I'd rather eat healthy carbs. How are you getting 40 grams of carbs?

thanks for that. i think i may have underestimated how big a deal it would be. all i feel like doing is lying around and watching tv. (hello, all three series of broadchurch!) i’m doing my walking and building up activity, but anything that requires mental exursion is just a no go. like i’ve been putting off a simple email for days now. just wanted to get a reality check and see if this has happened to others. 🙃

A bit of nausea is going to be expected while moving around for a bit, things are different inside you, so it'll take a little bit for everything to figure out what's what. Just keep moving!

Happy someone can benefit from learning from my mistake!

Yep mine feel the same. I’m 12 days post op. And when I stretch it sort of looks like there is a small area under the incision that is like cinched? Not sure how to describe it. Like maybe there is a stitch in the fascia.

I took 3 big swallow of water never doing that again. 3 days post op messing up already lol I thought I was going to bring it up thank goodness I didn't. We have to take it slow and steady Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app
