Hi All,

I am 2 weeks post op and have to be on purees and Protein Shakes until 3 weeks post-op. I have found lately that I can take in a lot more food then before and the purees really don't fill me up as much. Also I'm constantly hungry, although not sure if it's just from my head. Anyway the good news I have lost about 11 lbs since the surgery. I don't want to mess with the progress and I'm really worried that maybe the surgery just didn't work for me :(. Can anyone advise on my situation or has faced something similar? Thanks

You won't feel satiated until you go back to solids. Purees and liquids don't give you the same feeling of fullness. Hang in there. It does get better and you will be successful!

Check to see whether an antacid helps you. I thought I was having hunger pangs that actually turned out to be acid reflux issues. Now I take over the counter prilosec and voila, hunger gone!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
