I felt crappy until I got on solid food. I have also added B-12 shots. They are helping immensely.

Where do you get those?

So I was sleeved March 11. I had a really rough go the first two weeks but have felt better compared to then. But I still wake up every day feeling like crap. I don't sleep very well which may be contributing... also my inscisions are taking a long time to heal and they even were leaking a little pus which I'm not sure is normal at 3 weeks out. I find it very difficult to get all my fluids in. It just is so dang uncomfortable. Anyone else feeling blah??

Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

How are you doing?? Did it get any better better?? Hopefully it did

Iliana, I made an appointment prior to surgery to see a psychologist post op. I wasnt sure how I would feel emotionally after surgery. Actually I felt pretty good a few weeks out but it really turned into a great benefit anyway.I can hash out a few things before they really bother me and she’s been wonderful.

You’ve had major surgery so don’t rule out a medical issue. But with that said you have young children and life can get overwhelming. You might be surprised talking it over with an outsider.

Best Wishes.

I was actually doing group therapy prior to surgery and that is one of the things that got me prepared for it. I havent done them in these weeks because I haven't felt up to it. Might have to start again, I just didn't expect to feel this way.

Are you going through this process alone?? Even with the surgery being completed it's still a process, any support at home??

I have family support as far as help for kids etc which is huge but I am alone for most of the day, and I just try to get by.

Is there a reason you are eating a bite every 5 mins (is that in your instructions)?

At my previous appointment Nurse Practitioner Valerie said my calorie count was so low I could actually "graze" not going to 1 It might have been what led to my Obesity Downfall and a Strong #2 Nothing appeals to Graze Upon. and #3 I kind of enjoy my smaller than Tomkitten body. People other day " Girl, what DID YOU do to yourself? I thought you were your cousin,never realized you 2 resembled each other!" Well me too, she never got bigger than a 14 and rubbed it in, and if I achieve the goal I set me I might be a 1/2 size bigger, but then I have 4 inches of height on her, so should be okay after all👩👸👍

My doctor's office. After seeing my doctor and getting a blood test, he put in an order for a full year of B-12 injections. I just get a nurse appointment once a month and she gives me a shot. It really helps my energy levels.

      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.
