I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this...I'm almost 6 weeks post op. I've been doing fantastic with everything...vitamins, fluids, eating and walking however about a week ago I lost all appetite and want to eat or drink. Just taking my Vitamins is a struggle. I feel full or bloated no matter what little I eat or drink. I've been exhausted the entire time but so much more now. I had to get iv fluids yesterday and I'm pretty much back to fluids only per dr focusing on milk and shakes. I feel like I was doing so well and took a step back. My anxiety has been heightened this week bc I'm scared of going backwards. I'm tired all the time and force myself to get up an do things only to have to sit/lay down after a while. Anyone else? If so, what did you do to help get out of it. I know I'm emotional and questioning doing this only bc of how I physically feel at the moment.

Did your dr do a barium swallow to make sure nothing is going on? Its prob just your body trying to slow you down

I did the swallow test after surgery and all was clear. I've also had an MRI because of something they found during surgery which ended up being ok. I'm not actually throwing anything up just things are sitting heavy and I'm full for hours after. I had 1/4 c of light Soup for lunch and was full for hours.

      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.
