I had my surgery July 10 and not one has been a good day for me even after taking all my Protein and Water. I feel lazy, sore, and hungry all the time. When I try to watch tv I see blurry. If I walk to much I get a headache. At night I get bad acid reflux. I have pills that I take for that but it doesn't seem to work as great. So now I bought tums. As far as eating all I have is broth. I'm starting to get stress that I will ALWAYS feel this way. I see different post from ppl out of surgery the same day and they are doing so great. I just keep prayer I'll have a normal day where I just feel good :( the worse part is I wish at times I never got the procedure.

Also I take B12 and a multi Vitamin

Blurry vision and headache are both signs of dehydration. Why are you only on broth? Have you tried sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello? What kind of Protein are you having? Also, if you're taking pain meds, they can really make you feel out of whack.

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. You should contact your surgeon and talk to him/her or a nurse in the office. You are only 6 days out and once you get on full liquids and purees, you'll probably feel more energy.

You can't give up, so work hard at getting the help you need to make this better.

Best wishes!

      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.
