I had surgery a week ago tomorrow. For some reason, I can't stomach any food. Last week I took a few bites here and there, but I'm just not hungry at all. I could probably go a few days without eating. I am getting some liquids down though

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm starting to worry myself. It's been 6 days and I've post 13 pounds because food doesn't sound good to me at all yet

Hi, aren't you still supposed to be on only liquids at this stage anyway?

Your tummy is still healing.

Take care :)

You need to get you protien in.. Are you drinking you shakes and Water. Try some broth with some unflavored Protein. Make sure the broth is 140 degrees F or less or the protein will get weird. You need to keep hydrated and check with your doctor. It will get better ????

I'm on puréed Protein. I just feel like every time I out food in my mouth I might get sick. I tried broth in the hospital but that wasn't going to happen with my stomach

They have meds for that. I don't remember the names but there are anti nausea meds you can use. :) Your body needs sustenance.

I understand. I'm suppose to start puréed diet tomorrow and nothing on the list sounds appetizing so I may remain on full liquids for another week. Not to mention all my Protein shakes and Fruit drinks are starting to taste nasty. UGH! This too shall pass.

Cream of wheat and oatmeal.... Blending down Wendy's chili.... Add some whey Protein or have almond milk or soy milk separate.... It can work.... But does get boring.... It's not for Ming though....

I was the Same way and still struggling (Surg was2/26)..... But my doc just wanted me to at least keep hydrated. Whatever I could do because not doing equals dehydration and possible organ failure or parts of body going into shock..... Be careful and try to push thru. I know it's hard

Just keep getting the liquids in and the food will come. I am 18 days post op and have lost 27 pounds. Food hasn't been that good for me until recently. I just am having a hard time with Protein.

The chili idea sounds actually pretty good! I'm going to try that one tonight. Thanks!!

I'm in the same boat as you one week post op is tomorrow and I have lost 16lbs. Drinking Water when it stays down but feel weak and dizzy when I move a lot.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
