I am so hungry at least that is what I think I am. I had surgery on Monday, July 2nd and everything went great. I am drinking all of my fluids and Protein Shakes. I think maybe I should not have used milk but the doctor said it was o.k. Could this be contributing to my hunger since it is a thicker liquid and I should only be on clear? I was a little confused because the nurse told me today not to eat cream Soup but at the hospital on July 4th they made me eat two spoons and some yogurt...which all stayed down...HELP!

Seems like every Doc's post surgery instructions are different. A Few days after mine they had me eating cream of mushroom Soup, it was just strained and had none of the chunks in it. I don't see any issues of you want to drink your Protein with milk, thats what Ive always done, even during my liquid stage. Especially if your Doctor OK'd it

When I think Im hungry, Im really thirsty. Try drinking Water when you get the hunger feeling and see if that helps. I also get a sf pop cycle and that helps. With the heat, I constantly have water in my hand.

Thanks....I am drinking now and it seems to help. I also have sf popsicles so I will eat those as well. He said the shake with 1 percent milk was fine, so I am alternating days between the Protein Shake and Unjury chicken noodle Soup. We will see how it goes. The only thing from keeping me from attacking my hubby's turkey burger is that fact that I know this new stomach of mine can't handle it...oh well on to the drinking..LOL!

      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.
