Post-Op 11 Days And New Member

[bethnc1970 53]

So my surgery was June 29, 2012...

I had my post-op visit July 9, 2012....

Im done 24 lbs so far since June 6, 2012....

Now I have questions and need help please.....

I don't feel hungry at all but when I do eat I never feel full???? I stop eating because Im not hungry.....

even though Im only 11 days out I feel like I could eat about anything without it being pureed or soft/moist???

Im having a hard time drinking all the Water Im suppose to also.... Im full... I just cant drink it...

any suggestions????

What you are feeling is fairly normal. It sounds like your sleeve could be still a bit swolen and therefore it's hard to get Water in and the hunger feelings are not there. I had this pretty much for the first week and it started getting better week 2 and even better week 3 post op. Make water your priority for now so you don't get dehydrated. Small sips of water will help, just remember to drink every few minutes. I would stick to your Dr's diet, but I know they are all different. Mine brought me up to solids at day 7 but they still recommended soft/moist food like deli chicken and turkey, soft cheeses, etc.. Give it another week and you'll feel a lot better, hang in there!!!
