5 Days Post Op & Not Full...at All.



Recommended Posts

Its been 5 days since surgery, and I've been home for 2. I've been drinking liquids. But have yet to feel full or hungry.

Even if I drink quickly, the most I get is some gas but I'm even able to tolerate that.

I'm starting to worry a bit. As I don't want to not feel restricted.

I was the same way I'm 6 weeks post op never felt full or hungry kinda sucked because I never felt satisfied. All of a sudden this week it's like the signals clicked and I felt full and satisfied when eating its like my brain had to figure out what it felt like.

I'm almost 3 weeks post op from RNY. I have the same issue with not being full. I can drink with no problems. I get full after several bites of food. I thought I would feel restriction from the surgery.

      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.
