Yes....It is A bit crazy my mind wants me to eat more and I feel like I should but I just can't it is a weird feeling. I made a piece of fish for dinner I could only eat 3 small fork full... I need to ask my doctor if it is normal as soon as I start eating I get gas gain and my stomach makes weird noises. I burp a lot. I am not sure if that is a normal thing....It is a sharp stabbing pain in my upper chest...

The gurgling is very normal.....my stomach is very vocal! haha..........The pain is another issue. You're still early in the pre-op and it may just be you're still healing but you should talk with your doctor about any pain you're experiencing.

I had a hernia repair along with my sleeve surgery and I had a lot of chest pain for the first two weeks after surgery....did you have a hernia repair?

No my surgery said everything went good and looked good while he was in there...I was thinking maybe I am just trying to eat too many types of food too soon... tomorrow I will go back to Protein shakes and see if that helps...I do get the pain a min or two after drinking...my postop visit is the 11th

I started taking walks outside maybe 3 days after surgery, small and slow at first and gradually added length and pace as I felt able to do so.

It sounds like you're eating too fast. Take more time between bites and see if that helps with that pain.

I was hungry pretty quickly after surgery. It was definitely hunger pain and not head hunger. I just tried to keep my mind off of it the best I could. Distract yourself and drink whatever they'll let you, Water, broth, whatever you can.

Make your own bone broth using beef bones, carrots and celery...add spices and drain...Pinterest has tons of recipes.

Add some nutritional yeast to homemade Bone Broth. It adds a robust savory taste AND Protein.

Try it and post on what you thought about it.

Good luck.

It does get better.

I am 4 days post op and on full liquids. Between shakes and during I have this growling feeling in my stomach like when you're really hungry but I am not sure if it's hunger or maybe acid. I am on Protonix for 30 days so maybe that will go away. Has anyone else had this? It's annoying and slightly worrisome. I see my surgeon on Monday afternoon.

I had my surgery on the 27th, too. My doctor put me on the purée phase on day eight. I have been eating egg beaters' yogurt' applesauce' baby food, sugar free pudding, mashed potatoes, and cottage cheese. So far, with my fluids, things have been going smoothly.

@@AmberMc03 - YEs it is normal. It can take a week or so for the Protonix to kick in. It will get better.

I wonder if I'll be on Protonox forever? It's really expensive even after insurance!

      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.
