I am 4 weeks postop and I have always been hungry since day 1. It is a struggle for me . My surgeon said my ppi is working but some people do still get hungry after surgery. So what I have to do is to put myself on a schedule and I eat more little meals through the day. It seem to be working so far but I noticed that since I went back to work Monday, I can't eat and drink as often, so I'm not reaching my liquid quota and I have to starve a little until I am able to eat. Ughhhhh

I am 4weeks out and im in the soft/pureed stage. I am getting worn out on grits and eggs, tuna, applesauce, and jello. I also drink a protein shake sometimes. What else can I eat during that stage???? Help help, help.

Well everyone...let me tell yall whayt happened at work. My 2nd day back to work, my coworkers made a huge deal about how much weight I lost and how small my face and stomach is. They don't know I had the surgery. One jealous coworker said...she probably went and had Lipo suction or weightloss surgery. I got so upset inside but I smiled and said, we all was supposed to be eating right since Jan 1st...I said well guess I didn't cheat on eating the healthy foods. I said , did I also Lipo sucked my face...lol So they continued saying how my uniform look like its hanging on me..lol...so this is my huge nsv I guess. Today a customer said how well I looked and for me to keep up the good work...oh well...guess everyone will not be on ur side especially when u are doing good with yourself....life goes on!!!! Have a good day everyone. .. .

Hope you feel better!!!

Thanks...if I feel bad in the morn, i will not go to work....one one snitized the pharmacy this wknd, so I caught whatever germ was in there ...ughhh..I maybe intook 15 grams of protein...i felt real bad , I couldnt eat...had no appetite

Today was my 1st day back to work...8hours...halfway through the day, I developed a sore throat and cold chills.. Then my stomch hurted me as if I was punched in it several times. At the end of my 8hours, I was ready for a wheelchair I hurted so bad and Ice cold chills. I am in the bed...I have another eight hour day on my feet like today...I'm scared...I might have to call in..I'm taking the pain meds from surgery...I never had to crack the bottle ..almost at 4 weeks in 3 days Ughhhh

Ok...today is my 1st day back to work...I took almost 4weeks off. My left side is screaming. Lol .. It is hurting. After working 4 hours, I am almost limping, I can barely move..omg....I work in a very busy pharmacy as a technician...on my feet at all times...reaching and moving very fast. I feel like I'm living dead right now.....ughhhh....I'm on my lunch break and I feel like I can throw up. Feels like everything inside me has been juggled around...Ughhh

Oddly...mines did last night. Not sure why but it did.I drank a lot today and it didn't hurt today. I didn't eat anything out the ordinary

What is mms?

Congrats!!!

I'm at the movies..I'm 3wks postop....the popcorn smells soooo good....ughhh. but I'm drinking water with mio...hml right now. Lol

Today I mixed GNC wheybolic in 12 oz of Water and I'm drinking on it all day , to give me my 60gm of protein for the day. I am drinking it all day because our bodies can only absorb so much protein at time.

I tried unjury unflavored in 12oz of Water with crystal light...someone said it was good...I tried it last night and it was horrible. I felt nauseous. I had to take a phenergan and suck on a peppermint. I might not try that again , no time soon.

I am 3 wks postop and I noticed since I started eating soft foods, my weight slowed down...I have started back to the basics....my protein shakes.

Thanks for looking out for everyone!!!! Glad I found this forum.

I really appreciate the advice, no u didn't call me names. My chicken meat chewed down to a very little bit and my stomach let me know not to do it again..lol...I am a work in progress and I do/did love food. I am having a hard time with reality but I am happy to see the scale go down. Yayyy. I will pm you of I need advice or support...I appreciate that. But once I get back home I will get back on track....thanks to everyone...

If this is me u speaking of...my doctor have me on soft foods after my 2weeks. Yes I messed up on eating only the meat of the plain buffalo wings. So I have been eating my Soups and my shakes...and for dinner I ate a grilled tilapia. When I return back to Louisiana, I will be trying tuna. I amon vacation with my family , who do not know about my surgery. Yes I will do better and I truly appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions. Not sure but the spider technique I had done , my doctor said I would heal faster than the regular technique...but I will be careful from now on.

I am 2weeks postop and I am on soft foods....today I was able to a whole can of soup on 1 sitting. Omg...is that normal. Oh also, yesterday, I ate about 4 buffalo wings plain and a half of a tilapia filet....I did throw it up...ughhhh

Hey...I am 2 weeks postop and I used a straw today and nothing happened bad or indifferent. Today I started soft foods, I ate boiled shrimp and other shrimp dishes and everything went good. But I must say, I couldn't eat much of it
