@Lisswell I sure hope you're beginning to feel a little better. I'm not about to give you any medical advice but In watching this board over the past few months I have seen a few stories similar to yours and people did get better. It's absolutely true that all of us have different experiences and our bodies react differently to this or other surgeries. You sound like you've had a truly miserable experience.

I'd be embarrassed to tell you how smooth my recovery has been since my VSG on 4/28. I hope that you turn the corner soon and start feeling human again. My bet is that in a couple of months you'll be feeling good and this will all be a distant memory.

Hugs...

Lisswill: Have things improved?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Things have starting getting better.. I had my pic line removed a week ago and I'm eat on my own. I still have moments where I can't keep food down but it's becoming few. I need to work on my Fluid intake... I know I'm not getting nearly as much fluids as I'm supposed to... But overall it's getting better.. I have to focus on losing the weight the TPN made me gain... Thanks for checking on me

Hang in. I was sleeved April 26, 2016 and other then some discomfort when eating a bit too much, things are fine. I followed the recommendations religiously until I felt confident my stomach had healed satisfactorily. Things will turn around for you.

      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.
