How far out are you? Water is the most important thing the first couple of weeks.

Like was said above....You need to get your fluids!!! Push them hard, it doesn't take very long to become dehydrated!!! I don't know how far out you are or which surgery you had but...you might want to call your Dr. It looks like you are fairly new so PLEASE be careful.

@@jharris8641 It kind of sounds like me in the beginning. See, I'm not one for pain pills unless it's serious, so wasn't taking them as often as I should, like when the pain was just beginning. This GREATLY affected my ability/desire to eat or drink. So, for a few days, I took them as prescribed, began eating/drinking and my energy increased as well!

Just food for thought......

This sounds exactly like me. I am 3 weeks out and do not want anything ever! I am struggling. Really scared of getting dehydrated. I am basically having multiple popsicles a day and I know this isn't good for me. But I feel like I absolutely cannot eat or drink. Praying this won't last.

      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.

      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.
