Hello,

My surgery was less than 3 weeks ago, and my first week was difficult. I also lack energy, but I am starting to feel better. I tried moving around more to feel physically and mentally better (I started walking). Walking with listening to music really helps me. I think it could be an adjustment phase. If you have major concerns, call you surgeon's office.

I wish you well!

Honestly, call your surgeon and/or psych. Get them together to work out a plan for you. Stopping an antidepressant cold turkey is never a good thing and it can throw you into deep depression, inability to move, terrible muscle cramps, etc. I'm sure there must be some kind of AD that would work! (hugs) and hope you get it figured out!

I have not had surgery yet, but I do know about antidepressants. If you stop them, esp cold turkey, it won't be pretty. Discontinuation syndrome is brutal. You will feel crazy, anxious, depressed ten fold. I'll bet your misery is exacerbated by not having your meds. I'd recommend contacting your doctor for liquid meds if you haven't already done that. Or talk to my surgeon or psychiatrist. There are other ways to absorb medications other than orally[emoji15]. Hang in there you feel better I!

Are you trying room temp Water or weak tea or broth or popsicles? See if any of those help with fluids.

Bypass and sleeve? I dont know much but what made you have both? similar weight to you at start.

Anyway you perhaps should have gone to your docs to discuss an alternative anti depressent that can be crushed, or smaller.

Get a pill crusher for sups if they can be crushed.

ugh i've come a long way with liquids now , been through dehydration but now i am better

my problem now is my stomach gets empty and asks for food more frequently than i feel like eating

that makes me in pain of hunger with no appetite , and dont know how to fix that

i had them both because i've never been overweight , and still in denial and cant recognize my reflection in the merror , so i wanted to take my gherlin off and reduce my absorption too

something more like duodenal switch but less drastic in malabsorption .. and i am now back to one of my ADs but still cant take any supplements , so i ordered them as gummies .. hope it works

      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.
