3 Days Post Op And Feeling Low Help!



Recommended Posts

Any HELP would be really appreciated. I was sleeved on friday morning June 29th' date=' since then Ive had a hell of a time keeping down anything let alone the desire to even drink Water. Everything taste GROSS! My emotions are all over the place, i feel a little depressed and I have extream anxiety. Is this normal?

Also can YOU PLEASE give me some tips on getting in calories on the week one after post op diet. Im feeling a lot of regret right now! I could cry.[/quote']

I feel the same but I would be better if I could enjoy a my liquids or gas was. Or there

Sooo glad to hear i'm not alone in this. I was sleeved Thursday morning June 28th and today is the worst I have ever had. Nothing is staying down, I feel empty, cannot tolerate one more sip of plain Water or fruity flavored anything. Guess I am in the "why the hell did I do this" stage. I cannot even eat Jello (something I loved before surgery). I feel like I am getting dehydrated but as of today, I cannot keep even water down. Hoping for a better tomorrow. :(

I was liked that up until today. I had surgery the 28th too and really dehydrated. I bought a Powerade and sipped on it all day and now I feel soo much better!! You should try it I used the lemon or yellow flavor. :) i move on to puréed foods this Thursday !

A little better today. Powerade seems to be helping with the dehydration and I am making a concious effort to walk around the house in short spurts. I did a little cheat just to make myself feel better...took a small nibble from a Bryers Carb Smart fudge bar...it really hit the spot because I really wanted something creamy like ice cream! Tasted so good! Even after the rough couple of days, I would still do it again...12 pounds since surgery!

I ate the sugar free fudge pops from the store and got a sugar free snow cone a few times a week. It seemed to hit the spot!

Anyhow hope you feel better.lets rock this sleeve.

What do u mean by "can't keep anything down"? Are you throwing up after drinking?

I'm glad the Powerade is working. So today I had my first bowl of warm chicken broth with seasoning! Not only did it sooth me but I was able to have a bm. Sorry but that made a world of difference. I have lost 20 lb since pre op and 11 since surgery

She is doing much better!

Mood way's mostly back to self.

Hardly getting anything down but pushing through.

I dont regret this although I dont think anyone can really prepare fully for the change this makes in your life negative and positive. Atleast i sure didnt.

Thanks so much for asking & caring <3

      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.

      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.
