I'll be 2 months post op on Monday and I have cravings for food and am hungry all the time. I don't try to get full because that hurts but sometimes I eat too much and cry [emoji22]

Walking helped me more than pain meds. Even if I could only walk to the end of the driveway and back.

Maybe our stomachs are mad at us! Just sayin[emoji6]

Try genepro unflavored protein.

Current weight 236, I've not been well sorry. My PCP thinks the surgeon fixed my hiatal hernia too tight. Actually am on my way to the ER, am very dizzy[emoji19]

Why would you don't you want your doctors support? My doctor has been 100% on my side.

I hate them all but since premier protein has 30 g of protein which we need I use 1/2 a scoop blended with 1 cup of Fair Life milk and I'm able to drink it[emoji19]

No

Thanks I'll try genepro

I think it is because we're starving ???? Lol

At first I didn't want to but now I just don't care and an telling everyone!

I agree with kinda familiar and if you're not ready don't do it, at the end if you don't want to be one of the people who gains it all back it will be your choice, when we cheat we only cheat ourselves but don't focus on the negative move forward and be positive.

Sorry hon, really I am sooooo thankful for my husbands care and support. He's helped me bathe and walk and every time I needed to get up to go the bathroom there he was and still is. You should definitely join a support group and pray a lot. Take care. It will get better soon.

I'm scared of that not even going to try maybe on my anniversary In July!let me know how it goes.

Walk , sip water, walk,don't cry it'll get better, walk try and get as much protein in as possible and take your vitamins.

Pain,sleepy and hungry but not really.

Had my surgery on the 23rd too. I find it difficult to get my protein in too since they all make me want to gag:( I try to get my water in, eat soup, drink low calorie Gatorade, light apple juice,etc. oh I also eat sugar free Popsicles????.

I have Humana and I thought it was a great insurance. I was approved in a week after submitting all the paperwork from my PCP ( 3month diet)to the surgeons office. I had to pay my deductible which was $1,000 and then everything else was covered 100%.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and I can't seem to be able to reach my protein or water goals either. I walked too much yesterday and when I got home I could barely drink anything and was in a lot of pain. Today I walked for 10 minutes around the block and it took all my strength. Am resting now. I have a huge bruise on my lower left side, sometimes it feels warm too. Has anyone experienced any bruising?

I'd like to join as well. My surgery was on 3/23/16.

Gracias ????

Thank you for the advice I'm going to make some tea right now and grab a gas x strip too????I'll have my son bring me some Gatorade.

The first two days I moved slowly. This is my 4th day post op and I'd have to say that the gas pains are the worst. I've been walking to the end of the street and back and it takes everything I have. I'm very tired when I get back so I lay down and rest and I'm also keeping up with my meds every 4 hours. Take it easy and do what you can however a nurse that I know told me that I need to walk because it helps deter blood clots. I've been walking 4 times a day and hope to either increase the length of the walk or just add another walk

Honestly the gas pain is the worst.

You are starving, one lady called it controlled starvation and I agree:( I'm set to get on the losers bench on Wednesday.
