Confused about being full
Monnie815 replied to Monnie815's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks ... I felt fine after eating. And I know about drinking to soon..done that and not good feeling -
This might sound crazy. I am 10 days post op. I started puréed food today, I had some beef roast about 1 1/2 oz. I started having pain in my left side. So I stopped eating. I don't feel full or hungry. Is the pain in left side the new full feeling? I am having hard time getting my water in or proteins . Only getting about 1/2

Monnie815 replied to notforthefaint's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am an August sleeve my husband got sleeved today. We are excited about this journey together. I am having trouble understanding what the new full feeling is. I don't really get hungry but when I eat I don't feel full. Might not be eating enough. I have gotten pain in left side when eating. I think that is my sign that I am full. Might not be. -
You right. I

Thanks everyone .. I talked to doctor he said he meant men's organs larger and makes surgery little more difficult . He is doing well waiting on a room. Praise to God I've had 0 nausea. Having trouble getting all water & protein in. But doing great for 10 days out

struggling with liquid diet (August 5th surgery)
Monnie815 replied to lauren8486's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Any one struggling with pre ob diet...get you some unflavored protein and mix with anything it has 30gm per scoop. I love it in yogurt. It didn't resolve well in soup or jello. It keeps you full I have no will power but have done wonderful on pre diet. No hunger -
Thinkingthin15. Your fears are normal!!!! And yes you will have 2-3 months of very restricted eating after that you will eat anything your sleeve can tolerate. The key people do t understand is when you want chips or little Debbie cake....is quality ...take 3 bits let that settle and your craving should be over. Once you start eating healthy your body will crave healthy foods. Just pray about and remember your even considering this because you know if you don't make some changes your health will restrict you to home anyway. Good luck

I know it's heart wrenching but you would rather have surgery set back week or so than have the infection getting into your blood stream. The doctors are doing all they can think of to Protect us. Just remember he has your best interest at heart.

Do they do the Psychological Evaluations on the day you go to your first two hour consultation?

Am I a lost cause? How can I believe in me when I have failed so many times in the past?
Monnie815 replied to More than this's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok here's something to think about. You have failed before because you didn't have a wonder aid (WLS) surgery alone isn't going to make us health but will darn sure help. So don't compare your past to your future. I have never had will power but have had no problem with pre-op diet. It's different mentally, -
I don't think I will be rechecked. I am with you I would want to wait if doctor thought I might have issues from it
-
No...I went to doctor on aug5 started meds 2 days later I will finish up about day two before surgery . If it's more than 14 days from surgery I would say you good.
