Dont feel like I got the surgery



Recommended Posts

It's been 2 weeks since I got the surgery and I don't feel like I got it? I don't get full with Water and my diet consists of that and yogurt and I don't even drink the yogurt because I'm not a fan. So I can drink water all day and it's like I never even got surgery. I'm scared that the surgery failed. Like if for some reason they didn't do it right and I still have a large stomach.

You will never ever feel full with liquids. They run right through your sleeve with no restriction. Just wait till you get on solid food. In the meantime be grateful you can get in all your fluids easily. Some people can't and struggle with dehydration. Make sure you are getting all your Protein, too.

Two weeks out I ate sugar free Popsicles, broth or sipped on juice from chicken noodle Soup, & sugar free Jello. For drinks I used crystal light for flavoring. I didn't feel the fullness must either but the more you begin to add to your diet you'll be able to tell, believe me. It'll stop you dead in your tracks, lol

I felt like that at first too. Then one day it hit me and I could finish small stuff. It was a relief. Milk sometimes will fill me up, if you can tolerate it. Hang in there!

      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.
