6 days post op, starving!



Recommended Posts

Day 6 post op. I am on full liquids until Thursday or Friday. I am starting to feel so so hungry though. My brain has begun plotting "tricks" on how I could scoop put Taco Bell burritos and eat that and just have "just one bite of mac n cheese". I just have a deep hunger that isnt remotely being satisfied by liquids. I NEED to chew something! lol. The longer I go without food-food, the harder it's becoming not to just gorge and dump. And I already had dumping once from trying cream Soup (which they said I could have but didnt tolerate). I am so scared I'll get to real foods and have more dumping. But I am going a bit nuts on liquids, dreaming about 7 layer dip on tablespoons, drizzled with fire sauce. lol! Texture. Required.

You can play with texture during the liquid phase. I just mentioned this in another post, but I grabbed the Protein waters, froze them into ice cubes, threw them into a blender and had a slush. I also used to freeze Premier Protein RTD drinks and ate them kind of like ice cream.

Whenever I got too much into my head and started daydreaming about food, I'd grab something to do. I'd window browse for clothes for when I was skinny and hot. I'd plan a vacation for when I hit goal. I'd do something to focus on the positive impacts to distract myself from running down to the store and sucking the chocolate off a kit kat... LOL

I just didnt expect to feel hungry. Like, normal pre-op hunger. I didnt at first, but it's coming out full force and nothing I am consuming now is satisfying it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
