ShineBright724 70 Posted September 24, 2013 My surgery is tomorrow morning. I am on Clear Liquids until midnight. I have a raging headache. Does anyone have any suggestions? Sadly I wasn't allowed to take anything before the surgery. I would call my bariatric office and ask if I were you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stitchergirl88 24 Posted September 24, 2013 They let me take Tylenol and gave me a prescription for ativan for the night before and day of surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emily.brokaw 2 Posted September 24, 2013 I'm one week post op, and honestly slightly worried... I see all these people saying "I could only eat half a yogurt etc" and honestly I feel like if I didn't make myself stop halfway I could probably eat the entire thing. I'm just not getting the full feeling whatsoever. My nut said I could start on cottage cheese, yogurts, and my "pre-selects" yesterday and I thought I'd get the "full feeling" but I haven't at all. Wednesday I'm attending a class and figured I'd ask then but it'd be nice to also get some input from you guys. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can eat 4 oz of any of my allowed foods(because I measure that much out) and I never get full. Pretty sure I could eat at least double. I get 80 oz of Water in a day too and can gulp it down after a workout with no problem HW(9/3/13)- 284, DOS(9/11/13)-270, CW-259(9/20/13), GW-155(by 9/21/14...my 26th birthday!)

stitchergirl88 24 Posted September 24, 2013 Thats strange. Sometimes after my walk I get so thirsty I forget about my surgery and begin to gulp and I get a massive sharp pain. Haven't puked yet as I am almost always careful but so far I don't ever feel hungry. I only eat bc I know I need to but I am one week post op. I am sorry you guys are having trouble but you are still probably eating less and weight loss will still happen. Just don't push to see how much you can eat and stretch out your new stomach. 1 sageandcoyesmommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stitchergirl88 24 Posted September 25, 2013 It doesn't seem to be around eating at all but the hormone idea sounds exactly right. My surgeon told me that this surgery messes with your hormones! I totally forgot. I am only 25 so I was wondering why I was having hot flashes. Well now I know what I am in for in 25 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
