Post surgery question



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am one week and two days out, I had the sleeve surgery. I am still on the liquid diet and I have read from others that they get full of of two spoons of food... I don't exactly feel like this is the case for me. I can have a small amounts of food but I am not getting that 'I am so full I will throw up feeling". Is that normal? Did anyone else feel like they could take in more than they think they could? I am really scared this will hinder my weight loss. I have lost ten pounds during this first week and can't wait for more to come! Thanks!

@@Sapp28 You don't want to get the "I'm so full I could throw up feeling" that's a bad sign. I guess it all depends on what it is your eating. You may just be able to tolerate more food and that's ok if your eating the right things you aren't going to put on weight. It's probably too early out for you to know exactly how you will tolerate "real" food. Just take your time and don't push it. Good luck!

Your nerves are healing and numb. Just take it slow. Trust me, you don't want that "I'm gonna throw up" feeling, but you will get it and you may just throw up, which is absolutely awful. I am almost one month out and the other day I veered off my Protein path and have two bites of a brownie. Did it without even thinking about it. Just popped them in my mouth and swallowed like pre-surgery. Didn't wait a minute in between, just did it. Well, guess what....a few minutes later I was sick as a dog and ended up throwing up. I don't think I will ever look at a brownie with that longing feeling again! From now on, every bite that goes into my mouth I will have to remember to think first, because I never want to throw up like that again. Lesson learned. Think and chew, chew, chew! Good luck on your journey! It's actually pretty cool (aside from the puking). :)

      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.
