Ironically it’s changed now and I don’t feel like anything at all. I just feel weak and want to sleep all the time. I only had procedure on tue this week but I’m inpatient and hate feel weak and nothing I look at seems appetising to me.. any ideas people because I am sure I’m heading to dehydration soon. Everything tastes shitty.

And Just like A Wounded Animal you want only to retreat to Your Cave until You Feel All Better! I know you feel impatient, among other things, But Do Give Yourself permission to heal! You and Your Body have been through a lot This Week! Not all of Us leave the Bariatric Center singing the" Battle Hymn of the Republic" more of us are Muttering Under our Breath, holding on to someone or something, saying Why Me Lord? Why DID I AGREE TO ALL THIS? But like sunshine after the ☔ rainstorms, 8t Really Gets Better! We all, in some way, have limped and flinched, We Got Better, and in just a little while THINGS DO GET BETTER! Stay strong, still Sip Sip Sip, lick your sugar free Popsicles, remember almost everyone, this is what it takes, You have now paid your Dues, You are now a Part of the POST SURGERY CREW- Hurts Now, WON'T FOREVER!

When I came out of surgery Water tasted sweet to me. I asked if they put something in the water. Maybe put sweetmer in your water or cucumbers to give it flavor. The first month was just awful for me. That is my experience and not necessarily others.

One particular night I was so exhausted trying to get water in. I said f it! I went to bed at 5:30. I did end up getting fluids 2x because I just couldnt get it in.

Hang in there! I'm 4 months out and I'm completely healed and loving life. 64 pounds I have lost and it feels great!

Thanks so much, just currently I’m not hungry or thirsty I look at stuff to drink and I’m like puke.. I’m basically forcing myself and I even think of my fav fav meal and I’m like yuck. So weird been a chef and wanting nothing to drink let alone eat . I don’t mean I can’t stomach the taste of water I’ve always been a water drinker , basically I don’t want to drink anything...

      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.
