It defiantly does get better! If we all stayed like that it would be a miserable WLS world and nobody would behaving it done...that's your proof. I know it sucks in the beginning but in a month you will not even think about this time. Hang in there!

It gets better. During the first weeks be very, very mindful of hydration, Protein and supplements. You'll bounce back quicker, six months from now your body will thank you.

Be well.

Hi.

The first 2 weeks are the hardest after surgery. Just remember to drink, try to eat, and do alot of walking. You will have no energy, but that too will come back within 2 weeks.

I had my surgery 11/21/14 and I still do not eat alot. I have, maybe, 2 oz of food every 2 hours. It is okay though because I know I am eating correctly. I eat at 630a, 830, 1030, 1230, 230, 430, 630, 830p. I also do alot of walking and was just cleared to go to the gym.

Just sit back and enjoy the journey...it does get better. OHHH....it is okay to cry and have bad days, you will get through it

I'm about where you are and I'm feeling better every day. But I am tired more or less all the time, bored silly, and sick of not being able to do everything I want. And really, REALLY looking forward to getting put on purees next week, woohoo!

Eyes on the prize!

Are you taking something for acid? Prilosec, omeprazole, etc.? It sounds like you really need it, or need more. Talk with your surgeon!

      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.
