If you don't mind me asking, did you notice that you gained any weight from the fluids or anything?

My weight is down about 1.4kg (3.1 lbs) since Thursday morning (five days ago).

Wondering when I'll see my loss accelerate.

Hey Everyone

I am 7 days post op and I keep having bad spurts of motion sickness and dizziness. I am so completely miserable. Has anyone experienced this and know when it will stop? My meds aren't working


Sleeved 10/10/17 • HW 280 (3/1/17) • SW 259 (10/10) • GW 180 (TBD)

I am also 7 days postop. I have not had motion sickness or dizziness but my balance has been off. I attribute it to being older and having general anesthesia. It gets better day to day. I am 64. Don't know if I am right but that is what I thinkl

10 days post surgery. I am ready for some soft foods! Can not believe I have one more week to go! I am sick of Soups and shakes!

I am only 6 days post surgery and I feel the same way. I have definitely never been this jazzed to eventually eat an egg.

Luuuuuuuuv eggs! Can’t wait to incorporate them again and hope desperately that I’ll tolerate them.

Good for you. I am 5 days post surgery today and it has been a world of difference today. I got some Soup down, more Water and about 45 grams so far of Protein. Feel much better too. I am hoping this will flush out the fluids they filled me full of during hospital so my weight will go back to what it was day of surgery and start losing.


Same here. I was sleeved on 10/11/17, but I’m only getting about 40oz of fluids down.

I had my surgery 10/9/17 and had my first pre op appt today. Since the surgery I lost 14.2 pounds. I am starting phase 2 of the diet. Having a hard time getting enough fluids and Protein in. Healing good but had a reaction to the tape they used. My stomach is red all over. Dr. didn't seem concerned told me to take benadryl and follow up in a week. For everyone starting ore op diet hang in there lost 26 pounds so far between pre op and surgery.

Wow that's awesome! Good for you! I had bypass one day after you on the 10th and I have hardly lost anything since. I guess I am not getting in enough Protein and calories, but seems like I am sipping constantly.

      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.
