I feel like its too soon!?
char3672 replied to char3672's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I am going to go slowly. It's hard, because my family "feels so bad" for me not eating, that I think they are trying to push me to go faster than I'm comfortable with. I know they mean well, but I HAVE TO DO THIS how I'M confortable. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

I'm better with water now. It took about 4 days, I am doing better with everything at this point so far. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was never a big water drinker, but since my surgery (2 days ago) I can't even tbink about drinking it. Crystal light is a little better. I think I'm going to talk to the visiting nurse about Powerade 0 tom. I am not drinking much at all. Broth, popsicles, yogurt, pudding all go in fine, but liquids...no way! I also read that ppl use gas x strips, I can't find them ANYWHERE, are the desolving ones ok? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm afraid to start foods. I have had 0 problem with pudding broth yogurt etc. I'm deathly afraid of vomiting! I WILL try, but I'm scared. What is considered a "soft" cheese? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

Has anyone ever heard of Real Good Pizza? 25g protein,4carbs, grain free and gluten free. Does this seem like something that would be worth trying? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -

I thought they were expensive too. I just had surgery 6 days ago, so I am nowhere near ready for this stage, but I guess I'm just looking ahead lol. I heard Trader Joes has an already made cauliflower crust thats good, maybe that's a better option. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -
I had my surgery Wednesday. It was NO WHERE CLOSE to whst I thought. I had NO pain, only had Tylenol in the hospital. Not much nausea or gas. The worst problem I have is trying to get enough fluids in. I wad never a big drinker. I have lost 27lbs so far counting my pre-op diet, my feet and back have stopped hurting already. Its been easy...so far! Good luck!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I started with Powerade 0 today, that helps. I think I need to get some sf pudding tomorrow, that's on my list also. I could only do most of 1 protein shake today, maybe 2 tomorrow. Is THIS the hardest part??? I sure hope so Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was sleeved Wed and I am also having the same problems. I hear it gets better each day. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I felt the same way as you. I was sooo scared! I had my surgery Wed, and I have not had ANY pain meds, just Tylenol in the hospital. I feel fine physically, just some gurggling, but the gas x helps that alot. My only problem is drinking. I have been having a very hard time getting fluids in. And i'm pretty tired. Each day seems to get a little better. I think you will do great! I am glad its over, now its time to get to work on the new me!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I FEEL fine. It's just drinking that causes me a problem. Nothing tastes right, I wonder if its still from the anesthesia or the tube. I'm now drinking powerade 0, thats better....so far. I also had almost a whole greek yogurt. I hope each day I can get more in. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am currently still in the hospital, I had my sleeve surgery this morning...I am having NO problems getting in water, popsicles, broth. AND I'm kinda wondering WHY have I felt hungry all day???? What's going on? Is it REALLY HUNGER??? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes. The hospital I went to does alot precautionary "extras". I was glad though, it's better to be safe than sorry. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

How long did it take for you to be able to get all of your fluids in? I'm only day 2, and I am still having so much trouble getting it in Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
