5 Days Post Op

[srhame82 2]

I had surgery on the 20th I am just now starting to get hungry....but I have been living on the cooking channel getting all these new healthy great ideas and I can't wait to start trying them......I do have to say I am beginning to get a little discouraged because the talk about only losing some of ur weight with this surgery. Wondering if maybe I chose the wrong thing like was it really worth it

I had mine done on the 17th. I am still not hungry. I been sitting here watching travelhd all day watching food shows lol. Its head hunger. Drink some lemonade or some skim milk it will subside. The more often you drink the better off you will be

FOOD NETWORK IS THE DEVIL! That being said...I only get "hungry" if I haven't eaten in a long time...mostly I am hungry in my head.

I feel hungry but can't eat I am still on Clear Liquids but even when I try to eat Jello it gags me I have only finished 2bottles of Water since surgery its very hard to drink

[Capt Derel 287]

Lmao. I could see how it could be the devil to alot of people. food just doesnt bother me unless my wife or kids sit there in front of me eating carb loaded foods. Which as of yesterday they stopped because its either support me on my journey or just get out and I will do it by myself.

I love watching the cooking channel because I feel lke I'm learning healthier ways to substitute stuff in

[Capt Derel 287]

Oh i agree. You do learn alot from tv. But get yourself some high Protein low carb cookbooks to fall back on. Best investment

food Network is my porn! I've got it playing now!

Me too I love Paula Dean however she does not cook very healthy....but she is making this Bacon cheeseburger meatloaf so I think to myself with low fat cheese ground Turkey and Turkey Bacon it wouldn't be that bad for u. Right?

Hi srhame!! I was sleeved on the 20th too! Congrats us! I had a rough start, came home yesterday. I am a self proclaimed 'Foodie'. I LOVE food. While I have never doubted that my sleeve was the right thing for me. The entire time I was in the hospital I had Food Network on, like I cannot get enough of it! My nurses and family and friends thought I was torturing myself, but I love all things food... I went to the grocery store for the first time post-op today and kinda felt 'hungry', which I know I am not. Its comfort... Anyways, my bff lives with me, and luckily she is sensitive to my new eating situation. She actually started Weight Watchers a couple weeks ago (does not have nearly as much to lose as me) It might seem silly, but we started a little log of food/recipes I want to try in the future and what healthy substitutes we can make. While right now it seems difficult and at moments unbarable, we must let the moment pass, and remember that the time will come when we are all healed and we will be able to eat yummy (but healthy) food again! xoxo sabrina.

hi cmd

I am getting in what I can. Each day I have fit in a little more, but nowhere near 64oz. that my surgeon would like. Sip sip sip, I think as long as we continuously sip what more can we do? I feel good, and I am peeing still so I think I'm okay so far!! sip sip sip!

I had surgery on the 22nd. It has been very hard. I said in another thread that it felt like I had been hit by a truck. NO kidding. The poor nursing staff tried to get me up and walking but all I would do was take a step and dry heave. It was not funny at all. Luckily the nausea medicine kicked in. I came home today. I am able to get in 30 grams of Protein and I drank lots of broth. The warmth helps settle my stomach. I am still on hydrocodone, and acid reducer, and Gas-X.

My belly looks like a preggo from all the gas. I hate to be graphic, but when I finally passed gas, I felt so much better LOL. (sorry!)

I'm sipping (sometimes gulping with burps) and walking.
