Oh yeah. I forgot that question. They do test for nicotine. I am 2 weeks post op and I had the RNY. I am just starting the puréed diet. I'm getting about 40 grams Protein per day and trying my best with the Fluid. No major problems. I've read a lot about no postoperative pain and stuff but I did have pain. It's pretty much gone now. I was constipated for a little over a week, but now I've had cramps diarrhea since yesterday. Don't know if it's my fault though. I went to an air show and got a smoothie. They said it was fruit only with no added sugar, but idk. All that may be TMI, but it's just my experience so far. Nothing major, just minor inconveniences. But I'm only 2 weeks out and my body is adjusting. On the upside, I've list 20 pounds since surgery.

Ok. I don't do any support groups. ( maybe I should cause I google a lot) because the NP told me that everyone was different; after I was told by some others that I wasn't feeling what I was feeling after surgery that it was all in my head. Anyways, with my insurance you had to have 4 weigh ins and then you could submit. They usually schedule your surgery during your preop visit. I only had 2 weeks between approval and surgery, but others have had to wait up to six weeks. Hope this way helpful. I had Dr. Weaver, but Wegner is great also.

Hey all. Just wondering about hunger. I didn't think I would feel hungry for awhile post op. I am 4 days post op and am getting hungry. Now it doesn't take but a couple of drinks of a Protein shake to fill me up, but I just didn't think I would be hungry. Anyone else get hungry immediately post op?

I'm talking about actual stomach growling hunger. My husband even heard it.

Depends on where you are. My surgeon specifically said to stop taking phentermine 2 weeks pre-op, because of the strain on the heart.

Dr. Weaver this coming Thursday. ????

Soo, my surgery is 9/10. Super nervous. I have been on the liver shrink for a week and haven't lost any weight. I haven't cheated at all. I'm worried that if I don't lose weight my liver won't "shrink". Anyone done the pre-op diet and not lost weight? My doc's diet: Protein shake/bar for Breakfast, 1/2 cup fruit snack, protein shake/bar lunch, 1/2 cup fruit snack, and 3oz. lean protein veggie 2 slices 45calorie bread, and last snack of 1/2 cup fruit.

Sounds like a blood sugar drop.

Hi. Memphis girl here too. My surgery is 9/10. I'm doing the liver shrink now.
