Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
PurplePassages replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi guys something weird is going on. Now I’m 5 weeks out and for some reason I feel real hunger. Like my stomach would be grumbling but I really wouldn’t feel like eating because eating is just annoying now. Sometimes I would eat and 20 minutes later my stomach would be growling again. It’s really disheartening. I don’t know what to do. -
Confessional - Lets post our cheats/confessions/etc so others can see that we are all human

It’s easier for my stomach to handle cheat foods which is sad. I ate half of a square of brownie today, since I’m on purees I just used as much saliva and chewing power as I could and it went down pretty good. Yesterday I tried to eat some mashed food and I threw up. My stomach doesn’t want me to eat what I’m supposed to at this point XD -

It makes me feel much better to know I’m not alone. I’m happy I’ve found a lot of juices that make me happy. They’re all fresh too so they taste super good. Thanks for the empathy! -

I’m supposed to be on pureed foods but I’ve realized that I can’t handle it yet. So instead I bought a lot of juices and I’m happy with them. Im starting to honestly feel like I won’t ever be able to move on from liquids. Is this normal? Im about to complete three weeks post op tmw and enter my fourth. -

I only lost weight my first week... I’ve been stuck on 116ish kg since then (I’ll be finishing my third week soon). Yesterday I went to the water park for some exercise and fun. Didn’t last long though, I got extremely fatigued after about 2 hours. I’m on pureed now and each time I eat my tummy gurgles. Sometimes I even feel a sharp pang when I eat. Also a loooooot gas whenever I eat. That’s my update so far. -

It will be a full two weeks soon and I still feel very nauseous, is that normal? I can’t bring myself to drink too much soup all I can do is put ice with juice and drink that. Idk what’s happening anymore. -

Yeah it hurts to see my parents eat normally and I can’t. I’ve never been a jealous person so the experience has been a little uncomfortable. I just need to wait it out. This is about me being healthy, and once I’m completely healthy maybe I’ll be able to have a cheat day. -

Thank you. You’re right. I think once I get to the stage of actually chewing food I might feel better. I’ve always liked healthy food, I just need to pass this liquid and purée stage. -

I got my sleeve done on July 23rd. I’m feeling very sad now. I miss food. It’s the only thing that brought me comfort and I can’t eat it anymore. I’m glad I’m losing weight but it makes me so sad that I can’t eat. Does it get better? Will I be able to have some of my comfort foods eventually? I really don’t want a lot I just want a bite. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being stupid.
