The bariatric cocoas are good. If they are too sweet add Decaf instant coffee and/or unsweetened bitter cocoa powder. 15 grams of Protein too. I have it before bed to get my protein in for the day.

For me what felt like "hunger pains" "stomach growling" in the early weeks was stomach acid and healing, and generally my tummy trying to figure out WTF just happened to it :) I remain on reflux medication at 7 months post op as without it I get some annoying reflux, but with it no issues at all.

At 4 days post op it is most likely just acid/adjusting post surgery. But some people also feel quite hungry early on post surgery and while you are only having thin fluids etc that may remain the case for you until you move up to more solid foods that sit longer in your tummy and provide more nutrition to create satiety

I am 4 days post op too

I thought I was hungry too

I am really not sure what the heck is going on in my stomach

I think my brain thinks i should be hungry - I am having weird feeling in my whole abdomen area

I really have no idea if it is hunger gas or ????

I was getting kind of bummed tonight - this liquid diet is a drag but maybe I need some better stuff

idk

I will drink my Protein Water and go to bed - hopefully I can sleep tonight

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
