Hello all. I hope you are all doing well. I am 4 weeks post op and on softs now. However, everything that I eat gets me super nauseous. I don’t know what it is. I’m staying in the guidelines of what I can and can’t eat, but I am miserable. I haven’t really lost any weight, but I do see the inches disappearing. Has this happened to anyone? What advice can you give because I am getting very depressed?

Hello all. I am new to this forum. I am 18 days postop and struggling to get my Protein Shakes. Prior to surgery…nonissue. Now any dairy causes me to go to the bathroom. I assume this is normal due to the rapid dumping from stomach to intestines. Has anyone found any tolerable non dairy Protein? How did you get your protein in postop? Also… I was home on FMLA for 2 weeks postop. Felt great so I went back to work Tuesday. Now for the past two nights I’ve had some left sided flank pain. What could it be? This happen to anyone else?

I am postop day 6 and I’ve been achy. I am on a full liquid diet now. I will be on it for a week. Today has been rough. I’ve been very emotional and have been doing a little too much today. I know it will get better. Everyone who’s going through it keep pushing forward.

Hello everyone. I am postop day four from surgery. How is everyone doing so far that has her surgery? How are y’all progressing or supposed to progress through the various consistency phases with your diet?

Hey friends. I had my surgery this morning. So far…so food. I’m having abdominal and surgery pain; which is to be expected. I’ve been walking and doing the incentive spirometer. Im staying overnight in the hospital. Im very tired, but happy. I started my life today!
For those who had the surgery, how are you doing? Those going to have surgery…food luck!

No I ended up just dealing with it.

Prayerfully… 3 days and a wake up for my surgery. I am excited and starting to get a little nervous. I’ve been on this liquid diet for about 11 days and I’m not getting hungry anymore.
How’s everyone else doing?

Anyone else is over all this nausea and fatigue. Are y’all taking anything for the nausea?

Honestly, not that bad. I just make sure I have enough stuff to “eat” and I’m ok. Most of the time I’m so busy that I don’t think about eating. My only thing is fatigue. I am super tired all the time.

Anyone else on their liquid diet and super tired??? Just checking to make sure it’s not just me😂😂😂 day 5

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Day 2 of this liquid diet. I am hungry. I’m doing good, but people keep eating around me. I’m good when I am at home. However, I have to work and it’s soooooo hard to stay focused at work. I’m a nurse and If you’ve ever known a nurse… We love to eat! I’m going to stay strong and keep pushing forward.

My surgery is scheduled for Jan 18. I am supposed to start my full liquid diet on the 4th. I decided to start on the today. I figured Starting today would give me the weekend to go through the possible side effects of not having any food before I have to go back to work on Tuesday. I am super excited for the future.
What are some success tips???

I am so ready to get started. I have family coming into town for Christmas. So I am going to enjoy myself and enjoy the family time. I am actually going to start my full liquid diet January 1,22. I figure why wait 4 days. I’m just going to do it. I am trying out different shakes, yogurts, and puddings now. I am very texture oriented. So this will be interesting.
For those who work… how much time are you planning on taking off for recovery?

I am actually kind of nervous for the pre-op diet because I have to work while doing it.

Hey everyone. It’s the holidays and I have to admit I kind of lot my mind a little. I actually went home for then holidays and alot of my favorite foods the had. I don’t feel like I over indulged at one time. However, I do feel really guilty. I was doing so well. I have my surgery scheduled on Jan 18 and start pre-op diet Jan 4. I had people say enjoy myself, but I feel so bad. I don’t know if I gain alit of weight, but I feel like I’ve gained some. Is anyone else going through this?
thanks. Ty.

Thank you so much. $158…. I’ll take it …lol. I am looking forward to becoming healthy. Also… keep up the work. People say WLS is the easy way out…Ha! If they only realized what’s involved with it.

I am beyond excited. I have received approval from Tricare and my surgery date is January 18,2021. I am so ready to start living. I am planning on taking 3 weeks off work. I work in the hospital and do not want to go back until I am at least on soft. I do a lot of moving, pushing, pulling, and running to operate on liquids.
I am anticipating on going on the liquid pre-op diet January 3rd. So BP friends…give some tips to get me through the additional waiting?
P.S. I am hoping that some additional days open sooner and I can be moved up.

Tomorrow is the day. Best wishes and all will be well. Let us know how it all goes.

Thank you!!! Fairlife is my jam. I did some research and decided to give it a try. It taste just like chocolate milk. I am actually going to buy mine in bulk now. I was never really a huge dairy person pre-op; so it’s just intensified postop.
