I’m so sick



Recommended Posts

I had a sleeve 5 days ago. (After midnight now). I’m weak. I’m sick. I’m so used to being a busy body and doing everything but now I’m dizzy all the time and just wanna sleep.
I kinda regret having this surgery.

I have lost weight and quickly too. I am grateful for that. I just wish I could eat.

I didn’t have a strict diet like you guys though. 2 weeks on liquids? ?? I wouldn’t make it lol
My diet was liquid 1 day preop. Then 1 week post op. I can have soft foods in 2 days. I’m hoping that’ll make the difference in energy levels and nausea.

you just had major surgery. A rough week or two isn't uncommon. Just make sure you're staying hydrated, and try to get in as much Protein as you can. You should start feeling better and better every day... "Buyer's remorse" is common during the first few weeks after surgery, but most of us end up being very glad we had the surgery.

Yeah, I can generally only get in 2 Protein Shakes. The texture makes me gag but I suck it up. Reminds me of having someone else’s saliva in my mouth or something 😬

I can’t wait to be in the glad I did it stage

      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.
