I might be paranoid but Im 8 days post op and things like yogurt, glucerna and broth (homemade without an ounce of fat) are making my stomach hurt. Its like i wish i could take alka seltzer kinda pain. Also have had liquid stool for 2 days. 3-5 times a day.

Has this happened to anyone? Is it normal or no

I'm 7 days post op and some Protein Shakes make my stomach hurt while others dont. What you are going through is normal. Just stop eating those things for awhile.

First, I'm sorry this is happening to you.

There's no need to be paranoid. That won't help you heal.

What's happening is food/liquid is coming in contact with that part of your stomach that's been cut. Nerves are firing. It doesn't feel good. I've never met a WLS patient this didn't happen to.

I hope you feel better soon. Good luck. You are not alone.

I’m one week post op. (June 4). I’m sipping flavored water alternating with Protein Drink all day. I have small amts yogurt, SF Jello and SF popsicles. I know I’m not getting enough Protein and hydration. I’m having no nausea and tolerating everything well and have lost about 6 pounds since date of surgery. BUT I’M HUNGRY??!! I thought the sleeve would kick out my hunger - when does it start?!!

I am sorry to hear that. Im not getting enough Protein and hydration either but at least im not hungry cant imagine being hungry on top of all this anxiety. Is it actual hunger and not like emotional? Have you talked to ur doc?

Everyone seems to have variations in what their doctor/hospital recommends for post op diet. I was told to stay away from dairy and milk products until day 10 because they cause nausea and stomach upset. I'm wondering if the dairy in the yogurt and Protein Shakes are giving you these issues.

Buy some flavored electrolytes to put in your Water. They help when you have the runs and are not getting that much liquid - also help even out blood pressure.

I was hungry 2 days after surgery! I was so confused about this. I was HUNGRY all the time! I thought you were not supposed to feel hunger with the smaller stomach but apparently that is not the case with everyone.

I am 12 days post surgery and the good news is that I have found that now that I can eat things with more substance I get fuller faster. So I do get satisfied with a lot less. The 10 day liquid only period is quite difficult from my experience but then again, different doctors and hospitals seem to give variations on post op diets. I did liquid only. You just gotta push through the liquid only phase and know that you have something to look forward to after that period. The edge gets taken off the hunger as you progress through phases 2 and 3

Gatorade is recommended but I personally don't drink it because of the artificial ingredients and colouring. I buy EmergenC Vitamin packets and mix it into my Water with crystal light pure. If you are having loose stool I also recommend you add an electrolyte tablet into your water mix asap. I ordered the electrolyte tablet off of Amazon

Nuun Active Hydrating Drink Tablets, juice Box Mix, 4 count were the ones I got off Amazon

What Surgery? Answers will change depending on your surgery type.

      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
