Wondering If I Am Weird?!



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op and feeling pretty good! The first few days were perfect...no pain, no gurgles, able to get most of my Protein and all my liquids down. Basically, this is still the case, and I am very thankful, but I also wonder why I am not having any of the complications I read about?! if it weren't for the incisions, I would wonder if anything were done to me!!! Of course, the lack of hunger is a good clue, too!

Consider yourself really lucky. I am at post op day 5 and I get the gurgles all the time. Today is the first time that I was able to get in any Protein.< /p>

I think I may be worried about successful weight loss! Yes, I amuse myself, too!

Weird is like crazy. If you're wondering if you ARE, you're probably NOT. That's not always true, but you know what I mean. I had very little post-operative discomfort...and I'm VERY thankful for that. :) Enjoy it. Savor it. And don't brag too hard about it. ;) LOL

I am the same way! I am 3 weeks out and still waiting for the other shoe to drop. I have had none of the issues I hear others talking about. I hope it continues:)

That's it! Waiting for the other shoe to drop! I will continue to be thankful and try to be careful about not pushing my sleeve limitations too hard. What I love about this website is the ability to speak on anything and everything without ridicule.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
