5 weeks post op and I have a question...



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I am 5 weeks post op, and have done pretty well up to now..... I am scheduled for my first fill on 6/30 ...... any ways I have noticed that I am getting hungry faster (real hunger.... not head hunger), and and needing more to fill me up over the last few days (I am back on solids) .... is this normal?:ohmy:

I was banded on May 20th and noticing some changes. I've had a lot of stress the past 3 weeks and was putting the blame on that.

Tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to be working out every day on my lunch break- hopefully this will eat away those extra calories I've consumed.

Also, I was thinking about committing 1 day a week to just liquids... has anyone else tried this? Is this ok to do?

On to the ticker problem... Click on your ticker- the website will pop up!

Click on Edit/Update Ticker... fill in your new info and then click next.

The new info should automatically be updated on your ticker, no need to repost to your signature.

I was banded May 19 and I am so hungry and can drink and eat just like before the surgery. I am taking it one day at a time but I am hoping so the fill will help .. It helps to know others are feeling the same way .. I am eating 1/2 cup of food every two to three hours and trust me I don't let more than 3 ours go by.. I will be thinking of you all and keep posting to let me know how the fills do and if they help...

:ohmy:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
