taylorfulfer 20 Posted August 26, 2017 I am 3 days post op. I am home and it is so hard, I just want to eat. please don't judge me. I just want to have some scrambled egg or something small but don't think I can. Protein Shake isn't doing it for me. 1 gwbicster reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooBIG.net 36 Posted August 26, 2017 I know I'm not there yet as my surgery is oct 17th but you gotta stay strong. You got this no problem. Stick to the program so you can be the best you. You coming on here is the first step too. Don't bottle this stuff up and talk about it. No judgement at all, no one said this is going to be easy at all. Myself and well as a bunch of other on this forum are here for you. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowes 8 Posted August 26, 2017 I am 10 days out. It's very hard the shakes get very boring. But hang in there the pay off is big I lost 23 pounds so far. I sip Water all day I set my water bottles on the counter so I don't have to worry about counting home much I need to drink, by bed time I have all my water finished it helps a lot to drink. My down side right now is i developed pneumonia two days after surgery, so I'm on an antibiotic. Good luck write on these posts we are here for support.

Mersh 173 Posted August 26, 2017 It definitely gets better. Heal yourself up, you do not want to compromise your stitches in your stomach or make the healing prolonged. In the grand scheme this is just a blimp of the rest of your life. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblicious 130 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) I had miso Soup, and Tomato Soup and all sorts of Soups, you will find the time goes quick although at the time it seems to take forever. Keep sipping Water, I ad some sugar free cordial to my water. Can you have Jelly? That can be a nice change. Icy Poles were wonderful too Edited August 26, 2017 by Laggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoyandLight 42 Posted August 28, 2017 I am 3 days post op. I am home and it is so hard, I just want to eat. [emoji24] please don't judge me. I just want to have some scrambled egg or something small but don't think I can. Protein Shake isn't doing it for me. Judge you?? We are all here for the same reason, and I'd bet the farm all of us know the "I just want to eat!" Feeling!! No judgement here!!I totally get wanting to eat something (I had 2 week pre op liquid diet), but try to refrain. Your stomach is healing. It's swollen and raw. Sugar free popsicles and apple juice (1/2 water), ice in the bullet made a slushee that was good. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjandj715 162 Posted August 28, 2017 I enjoyed sugar free popsicles they were a lifesaver for me when it came to wanting to eat something!! Walmart has some really yummy flavors of popsicles to choose from. Also the Jello helped. Hang in there you can do this. That metal game with mess with you but try and think that soon you will be able to eat, and the weight is going to come off!!! Cheering you on ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KateBruin 344 Posted August 28, 2017 I got sleeved on the 23rd and I'm only just having a mostly easy time with liquids. Yesterday I had 1200 calories almost 200 G Protein. It wasn't until today I started feeling better but I still have what I'm guessing is waves of gas that make it feel like I have a lump in my chest/stomach. I'd kill for some eggs or real food but I understand my limits and the fact that it's mostly in my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrayingForWeightLoss 337 Posted August 28, 2017 No judgement at all. We are all strugglers. Don't eat egg as hard as it is. The risk of food getting stuck in the incision internally is not worth it. Stay strong. Cry if you feel like.thats understandable. I am 4 weeks post op. It gets better with time. You have done very well going through the surgery.

Keep sipping Water, I ad some sugar free cordial to my water. Can you have Jelly? That can be a nice change. Icy Poles were wonderful tooMiso soup without the solids is fantastic. Tastes delicious and the sodium makes me thirsty so it forces me to drink more water. Bone Broth though is disgusting [emoji12] 1 Marblicious reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
