Dealing: Postop VSG issues



Recommended Posts

2 weeks post op gastric sleeve. When does it get easier? I’m having trouble getting even half my Water in. Part of me wonders what the hell did I do. I have no hunger at all, to the point where I have to focus my priority to take in a shake and last 2 days I can only do half a shake at a time. And the throwing up heaving seems to be more snd more often. My first post op in on Wednesday but I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through this and when I should expect to be better. I feel like my relationship with food has worsened to being afraid to eat or drink anything . Kinda low right now. Weights coming off, but now I wonder at what cost.

Did they prescribe something for Nausea? Like Zofran (ondansetron)? Are you still on liquids? Did you call your surgery center? This seems like something they need to be aware of. I'm glad you have an appointment tomorrow. I am two weeks out and I have no trouble meeting my liquid and Protein goals. (although I am hungry a lot). If I eat too quickly or too big gulps I have pain, but I'm still on liquids. I really think you need to talk to your surgery center, and definitely focus more on liquids than protein. Sip, sip, sip, all day long. Keep a drink right by you at all times. Try different drinks and different temperatures of liquids.

losing hunger for a few months is very common - I actually liked that and wish mine had never come back, because it was so easy to lose weight when I didn't give a flip about food. The vomiting issue is odd, though - I'd contact your clinic about that.

      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.
