shielanotsheila 15 Posted June 15, 2013 I had my revision on June 6th. I haven't been able to get all my liquids in because it hurts and I have lots of gas. I am walking taking gas-x etc but nothing is really helping. I went to the doctor and everything is ok. She gave me a prescription dose of Pepcid to help with my hunger. Right now I am at the mall so I could walk. I am cranky because my family is eating food and I can't. I am frustrated because I have lost only 7 pounds including preop. I know this phase will pass but I just want to feel better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeveconvert 55 Posted June 16, 2013 You just had MAJOR surgery-- 2/3 of your stomach removed ! Your body will not lose- your body is on WTF mode, lock down, don't even think I can heal without nutrition chapter. My kindest sent message is get off the scale, recuperate, don't break the rules, stop feeling sorry for yourself and embrace the new, exciting, wonderful life you have enabled yourself to have !! Its going to be so great, so wonderful and not everyone gets this opportunity. If you get hungry- more Protein, if you need to chew do so and SPIT IT OUT, rinse your mouth out with kitchen sprayer. Youu have to WANT this-- its not easy, its not fun and you have to change your mindset. You can do this ! 2 Robin210 and laurenthomp93 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
