5 Days Post Op And Hungry!



Recommended Posts

Did you see a Nutrionist? You should call and get ideas from them. I haven't been eating all of the required ounces and feel full almost all the time .

Try getting about 60-80 grams of Protein a day. Even add protein to your pre-mixed Protein Shakes. That should help!

My first week I didn't even want to see food, it would take me an hour to get through a protien shake. Then over night the swelling went down and the hunger hit. I am three weeks post op and battling the hunger. It is bandster hell. I am just tracking my calories and trying to take it one day at a time till I reach the green zone. You are not alone.

Oh my gosh! I just posted this same thing, except my surgery was Friday. I spent until 2pm today having ZERO interest in food and now suddenly I'm so hungry!!! I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. Thanks.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
