Anyone ever get paranoid that their surgeon didn't do anything? I saw my tiny pouch on xray, and yet I'm skeptical. How crazy is that?

I feel that way. I am a week out and told my husband. I do not feel a lot different,maybe they just put holes in me and did nothing. I thought I was the only one!

I just feel like I shouldn't be able to tolerate what I can. I can eat 1 full egg! I get full, but I don't get sick or anything. Same with the Protein shakes lol. It's weird.

I know what you mean. It's scary. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid.

It's alright! I'm two weeks post-op and interning, working, and going to grad school full-time, so I'm more than tired when I get home lol. I was ready to go back, but being that I'm so busy, it's hard to get in all the recommended Water and Protein throughout the day. When do you go back?

I went back Monday, I was 2 wks post op (my Sx was 1/14) & I can't do it, I'm sweaty & feel like I could pass out! I was drinking H2o okay, just not getting the Protein in & still sore as all get out : / My scrubs were too new & rubbed on my incisions, etc, etc....It was perfectly wrong : ( Guess I will be riding the couch for a while longer. Glad your doing well...btw where do u get all that energy???

No energy at all. lol. I had none before surgery, and none now haha. Today I'm actually a bit dizzy, which I'm concerned about. You are still a bit sore? How are your incisions healing up?

OMG I swear I thought the same thing!!! I don't feel that much different and I started to think they just put these small incisions in me and took my money lol...I thought I was the only one who thought that!!!

      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.
