May 10 surgery booked



Recommended Posts

Anyone having surgery May10? I am very nervous and have read so many posts on here. Just looking for any tips for right after surgery. I am scared that I will be hungry but unable to eat. I currently never feel full. Does anyone have experience of this feeling? Did anyone have complications right after surgery that’s another fear of mine. Thanks in advance

I haven’t had surgery yet but my friend had got her sleeve done last year. Every experience is different. Some feel fine, some are miserable. My friend wasn’t hungry the first week then started having head hunger for a while (but not long). She’s doing great now 8 months out. Don’t overthink it, best wishes on your surgery.

PS, your surgery is on my birthday [emoji846]

I’m May 10th as well. Little nervous but I’m just trying to focus on baby steps. First step is the liquid diet starting tomorrow. I’m going to start back reading and other activities to keep my mind off of the hunger.

I also have my surgery on May 10th. I am pretty busy at the moment, but in a calm moment I get afraid too. I don't have do go on a liquid diet before, but started to include some new habits already. I am counting my calories, increasing my Water intake and trying to eat about 90 grams of Protein. Just started two days ago, so I don't feel too bad yet.

What have you planned for your post-op liquid diet? Any recommendations?

Haven’t even started to plan for that yet. I will start next week. I am hoping the dietician I’m working with will give me some great tips.

My surgery was 4/12. I haven't experienced any vomiting or nausea. I am tolerating all foods (that I have tried) well. I started my soft diet today. I am not hungry and just eat when it is time to eat.

I haven't had a lot of pain and what I have had has been around the incision sites. I haven't taken any pain medication.

The liquid diet was hard. Best Wishes to you!

      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.
