I'm about 10 days post op..



Recommended Posts

My surgeon allowed me to take pills right away, even my large ones as long as I could swallow and tolerate them. I had very little swelling and inflammation so not even my large pills presented a problem.

You are NOT alone! I am 6 days post-op and I swear I'm ready to shank the hand that gives me another Protein shake! Lol the broth grosses me out and the tea goes down the the best. I find myself craving real food but I'm not sure if it's because I'm bored with what I am drinking. Either case, I'm ready for step 2!

I am now 22 days post op rny.... I am so sick of "purée" stage. I just want to chew my food. The flavors of the foods are all good it's a textural thing at this point.

I find myself craving crackers and nuts just for a crunchy effect because I miss it.

My surgery was on the 13th...so getting close to the soft food stage. As good as anything sounds, take my word for it...just don't. Those three bites weren't worth the guilt and fear I felt after taking them. Luckily nothing bad happened but again, not worth the risk. sugar free popsicles are really good to help with the need to chew. They were allowed as part of my liquid stage. Hang in there!!!!

Keep after it!! Are you getting your Protein in? That's what I seem to be struggling with. Use the scale as your motivation!!!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not all of my Protein. Now Protein shakes make me want to vomit. I was fine with them before.

You are DEFINITELY not alone!! My surgery was the 20th and every time I see a pizza commercial I want to cry! It looks soooooo good. I am also so tired of Soup, Protein Shakes, and Water. I am counting the seconds until I can move on to puréed foods! Good luck with everything! You can do it!

Thank you for making me feel better. I want real food so BAD it hurts. I swear I am consumed with wanting food now more then I was pre surgery. I personally think doing this over the Christmas break has been pure hell. I too have cheated and not just a little. Yes I pay for it and feel like crap emotionally and physically. I am not sure I should have done this surgery. Prior to surgery I could eat a reasonable portion and be okay now I just feel deprived. Any help please?

Kudos to you. I am wondering how I will handle this stage. I can not do puree...I have a big problem eating anything I can look at lol

Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

I wonder the same thing. Maybe you are just so hungry for anything other than broth and Protein shakes that pureed meat is appealing?? ???? The thought of it (and the sight if those pictures) makes me queasy, but then again, I've never experienced that level of desperation in my life yet!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
