Upon clearance from my team. 1 month visit they told me to increase walking nothing more, 3 month visit I was told I could resume whatever workout routine I wanted (none. I wanted none. 😒)

I’m 3 days post op and miserable! The hunger alone is causing most misery. I’m afraid if I’m this hungry now did the surgery not work for me? Pain has been intense too. Like you, I cry every day I’m so hungry. May your journey improve, a everyone says, it does get better! *hugs*

Woo hoo I’m December 3!!!

You guys, thank you SO much! All these comments have helped put my mind to ease and I’m gonna shift my mind change to positivity and be grateful for the surgery 😊

I had RNY 72 hours ago. Surgery went perfect and I stayed only one night. I was able to to get in my fluids and no nausea. Pain was minimal. But this hunger, I am literally in tears throughout the day because I’m so hungry. Most everything I’ve read says people can hardly get liquids down because they are so full, I’m the opposite. Did my surgeon perform the procedure correctly? Will I eventually have the sensation of getting full on appropriate portions? That was my reason for surgery, I am always hungry. The sleeve would have removed the hunger hormone e but I was not eligible due to reflux. Please let me know if you experienced this and what it was like weeks or months post op, thank you!

Ae2018- my surgery is in 5 days. No pre-op diet for me but I am watching my food intake. Clear Liquids only the day before. I am fairly certain Protein Shakes will be too sweet for me post op and I have GENEPRO Protein Powder which I tried with chicken bullion, not a fan. I plan on making Jell-O shots this weekend with it. I tried chicken broth Soup from Unjury and LOVED it so I ordered plenty. I’m trying to stay out of the public as much as possible due to it being cold and flu season and I am not trying to get sick and have surgery postponed so I have stocked up on crystal light and flavored waters as well.

Woo hoo I’m December 3!!!

I just found out that i'm approved and final surgery date is 12/19! i'm so excited, scared and nervous!

I too drink around a gallon of water every single day so I’m stressed about the water intake as well! I’m up about every hour in the night to the bathroom (regardless of Fluid intake) so I plan on preparing my water on the bathroom counter for a sip every time I’m up. Best of luck to you!

Happy to read these comments as my surgery is fast approaching (2 weeks) and giving up alcohol is going to be my biggest struggle. I do not drink daily but I do drink often socially and at home sometimes and well, honestly- I love it. So, I know it is a trigger and I do not plan on attempting to incorporate it back in down the road.

Woo hoo I’m December 3!!!
