6 days post op, hungry....



Recommended Posts

First time poster, I'm 6 days post op (6/9/16).... Plugging along with Clear liquids, SF Jello, SF Popsicles.. I'm feeling hungry, low energy started today. Saw my dr yesterday, 12 lbs down since surgery. Yay! Do you think a bite or two of cream of chicken Soup would hurt? Just something with a bit of consistency?.... Any advice is welcomed... Thanks in advance.

It's always best to follow your plan........what does your plan say? Mine allowed full liquids starting day 3 and full liquids included strained creamed Soups.

I would just wait until you're able. You should be able to have broth in between, and Powerade zero. I feel your pain, day 8 of clear liquids as well.

Stick with the plan, you want something more than the liquids but Yall are doing great, and the weight will come off!

Are you not allowed Protein shakes at this stage? Can you at least add Protein powder to clear liquids?

I wouldn't go off plan.

It gets better... it was hard... but follow your plan... and Water is amazing. I used smart water it has electrolytes. Made my brain think I was doing something. Lol. I also made homemade Soups for my family and ate the broth. My food is better than the packages. Lol

I was able to have cream Soups if I strained the little bits of chicken or veggies out.

I don't think cream of chicken Soup would physically hurt your digestive tract (though I am not a medical expert). I *do* think that deciding you don't really need to follow your bariatric team's instructions and that you'll do what you please in order to satisfy cravings will set you down a road that will hurt your long term chance of success, despite this just starting out as a small step in the wrong direction.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
