No appetite post op

[svelija 18]

Hi all I was sleeved 1/29 and am finding no desire to eat what soever. I was a little hungry the night of 1/29, but could only eat about half a Jello cup...now to top it off I have bad diarrhea since last night...anyone else experience this? I am managing Water but not nearly the amount I should..anyone ny advice on what I should be doing, and again is this normal?

Yes it is normal. Your esophagus and tummy is swollen. Just keep sipping Water, liquids. Hydration is most important right now.

I was sleeved the same day and I'm also not hungry or thirsty. I just keep sipping stuff when I'm not sleeping. :-)

Normal. You were just sleeved.

It's going to be a struggle to get your fluids in the first few days, but you really want to try - dehydration can put you back in the hospital as easily as a leak. Diarrhea is perfectly normal, too

I was sleeved the same day. First day and a half had nothing but sips of Water. Today I have been sipping water and Gatorade. I also had 2 ounces of Soup and one pure Protein Shake (took 8 hours to drink it one sip at a time). Sadly, I have felt hunger. I was hoping that I would not feel hunger anymore. I do not yet know what full feels like. I have done a fair amount of walking today and really feel pretty good.

@@eagersleever15 Do not be discouraged about feeling hunger. It sounds like you are getting very few calories in at all. I have found that I will still feel hunger when my calorie count is very low. Even so, it is nothing like I experienced before surgery and most importantly it takes so much less food to feel full and satisfied. Keep sipping the shakes. You will get there. Good luck!
