Depends on what type of surgery you have, but you could physiologically eat all sorts of non-nutritious food long term, but whether you should or want to is another question. I should know, I ate Mars Bars and Chickadees yesterday and boy do I regret it. They didn't even taste lovely like they used to. Give me fruit and cheese any day!

So I am five days post-op and walked for an hour straight and was able to do 3 miles!!!!!!!! Feeling great, and excited for this new change in my healthier lifestyle!!!

Protein water, watered down.

Right after surgery you'll find it difficult to get 64 ounces of water. Drinking water will become a full time job. You will get back to drinking a gallon but it will take time.

Hope mine goes away fast this chest pain is killing me Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I wasn't under the impression that we had to drink any less, but a minimum of 64 oz or more per day. So more is okay, just not WITH meals, at least 10 minutes before and 30 minutes after.

Thank you. I will look at this too...variety is key for me.

Mine was super brief. I think it was to make sure I didn't have an eating disorder. I see a psychiatrist so as long as I planned to keep seeing him, they were fine with that. They also warned me that some people get depressed post-surgery.

I believe all psych Evals are different depending on the place you go. At mine they had me doing random stuff like repeating a set of numbers, remembering 4 object till I was asked what they were in order, addition like 2+2 up to 198+198, a depression test, talked about why I chose the surgery I did, talked about what I’ve learned about the surgery. They just to make sure that I’m aware of all things about the surgery. And finally a 200 question bariatric test where at least my psychiatrist sent to Indianapolis to receive the results. All this took 2hrs so prepare to stay that long at most. Hope this helps
