8 days post op. feeling good. feeling hungry. questions about food options please help thanks
TerryBelieves replied to rxkid2384's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its not that I am hungry, I am sick of the shakes! I dread them so bad. I don't want anything sweet. I don't even like the sf popsicles anymore. Now I've been having the cream of mushroom 98%ff soup strained. Now that was a nice change. I can't wait to try a scrambled egg. Good luck. -
Craved foods post op...
TerryBelieves replied to LindsayRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I am 1 week post op today, I am still not hungry. I did try strained cream of mushroom soup 98% ff made with water and I didn't season it. It was a lot better than all that sf crap! I never thought I would say I don't want sweets, but it happened today. I am drinking my 4 oz shakes 3 X a day, not liking them, but know I need the protein....so good luck. heck I am ready to get past all this liquid stuff. -

vitamins & biotin
TerryBelieves replied to nicoleco's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They had me swallowing pills the day after surgery. As long as they are small. I take them 1 at a time with a sip of whatever I am drinking. My loratab, the dr. said break it in half and take it that way so thats what I do. Hope that helps. -

Getting in fluids...
TerryBelieves replied to LindsayRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was Jan, 28th, I am still on Clear liquids with 3, 4 oz Protein shakes a day....I am mixing them up all kinds of ways.....OMG, I can't hardly stomach them. Today I am going to do a cream of chicken Meal Replacement. I figure if I can do the protein shake, I can do this....I gotta try something. I just dread doing those shakes! I am getting all my fluids though so thats a plus. Yesterday I got out and about for the first time. I was wiped out. Went to bed really early. Today is a new day! Good luck and hope you find something that works! -
January 2013 Sleevers?
TerryBelieves replied to LenaVSG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey all, My surgery was Jan 28th, I am doing pretty good. I haven't used any of the nausea meds prescribed. Today I haven't had a pain pill. I was nauseated a couple of times in the hospital because of liquid pain med and beef broth, will never do beef broth again. I went 18 hrs in the hospital with out pain meds for fear of making me sick. Right now I am still on clear liquid and 3 4oz shakes a day till I see my dr. on the 7th. Yesterday I got about 60 oz of liquid in. It was the first day to get in all 3 shakes. I still use my spirometer and I am doing 5 min walks 6 times a day. I have steristrips on my incisions, except the one they took the stomach out. I have 2 stitches. My left side hurts when coughing, sneezing, getting up and down to sit. So today I went to the store and bought a support camisole. My husband had to help get it on. Let me tell you my left side feels wonderful. I don't have to hold my stomach to get up and down. Now I might be sore when I take it off, I hope not. Last night I was able to lay on my left side for just a little bit. As everyone says, its better every day! Day of surgery I was 254, this morning I was 246, I had lost 33 lbs the day of surgery. So far I love my sleeve. I haven't been hungry since surgery. -
Keep it up! You look amazing.

I got to shower today and have been walking. Seem to be tolorating cool not cold liquids, and some tipid not really warm broth. Dr. said surgery went smooth and the nurse says I'm a rockstar, that I am doing great! -
