Post Op Day 4- Hungry And Depressed

[thewinds 7]

I was also sleeved on the 24th and although I am not hungry' date=' I am having a hard time with the food smells in my house and not being able to pick up and love on my 16-mos granddaughter.

Since I am on Clear Liquids for 2 full weeks, I better get used to it. My Dr said that my sleeve needed to heal before I put other stuff in it. So.......here I sit sipping Water, Jello and broth. Trying to get down Isopure, but it just makes it hard to drink the other stuff because of the taste it leaves in my mouth.[/quote']

Put mio flavoring to match in the isopure it's in with drink mixes at the store and makes the after taste gone I drink one isopure during the day, Breakfast is slim fast chocolate dinner is broth or Soup and bed time is carb master yogurt.

I am day six I don't feel hungry much or tempted but tonight I drove past rally's and I so wanted a chicken sandwich, in the movie today my eight year old keep trying to share his sweet tarts, he eats like crazy but losses weight as often as he gains. I keep telling my self next week I get cheese and eggs and soggy cereals one day at a time in six months I can have a bite of pizza or cheese steak or burger or what ever. It was easer tonight we got Chinese and I drank the wonton broth and some egg drop and licked some of the sauce from the spicy Mongolian beef, last night I had a lick of his red hot wings, he's like you have to at least taste it and one lick of sauce is ok and gives me a nice spicy kick.

I was also sleeved on 24th April, I'm finding it hard mainly cos I have virtually no appetite! I'm probably having 250kcal per day at the most, and maybe 1 litre of Fluid, it says in my post op diet plan I should be having Soups purreed and shakes and milky fortified drinks but honestly I just don't feel up to it yet, a cup of tea takes me an hour and i previously was a tea freak! I'm going to stick to my few cups of tea and fruit cordial with Water till my appetite comes back, I'm taking my pills and Vitamins ok, I'm just going to concentrate on getting enough fluids in, I can't see not having soups and Protein Shakes for a few days can super harm me, i don't wanna force myself and end up vomming everywhere! I have a telephone consultation with a nurse today to check my progress so will see, day 5..... Sore, tired, nauseous, but still smiling! B x

I hope you start feeling better soon. Those first weeks are the hardest. It really is like breaking an eating addiction.

Its interesting how much post-op diets vary. It's also interesting how many people are pushing the limits after such a serious procedure.

I had my sleeve on 4/24. I'm restricted to Water and 6oz of Ensure throughout the day.

food smells wonderful and looks wonderful but I didnt have this surgery to look forward to being a glutton again. I truly WANT to live and eat healthier!!! A clean diet for 99% of my life.

Be strong everyone! (((hugs)))))

I was sleeved on 4/2 and down 26lbs. I had a depression day the first week of my surgery. But I can't waist my time on that pitty party. I eat mushy food like refried Beans with cheese, avocado on rice chips and very lean turkey meat. Drink fluids like its your job=NO headaches. I enjoy Sobe Water 0 caleries, no sugar. I have to alternate my water or it gets toooo boring. I drink one to two Protein Shakes a day I use baratric fusion. I really like the way it teaste. Good luck on your journey and continue to push ahead:)

I have 3 days left of full liquids and then I can move on to mushy food.

Sleeved 4/23 -and I'm taking in 3 (8 ounce) Protein Shakes a day for a total of at least 68 gm Protein, homemade chicken broth, carb master yogurt, thinned cr of wheat, thinned mashed potatoes, and Water. I can eat 6 to 8 ounces of broth or a 6 oz yogurt at one time. cr of wheat or potatoes are about 1/4 cup. I spread all of this out from 10a to 1a. Yesterday I took a teeny bite of a roasted potato, chewed it, and spit it out. Then I had a teeny piece of chicken and chewed it to nothing. My daughter had brought food home from a party and I couldn't resist. Just that little teeny bit was satisfying, so it worked for me. I totally understand licking the food!
