Im 8 days post op and I never feel hungry. But I think I get restless which is my body saying to eat., I drink my fairlife protein shake around 8:30am and then every 2-3 hours and eat yogurt. Or 1 cup of creamy soup(tomatoe/vegetable) I drink water in between the 2-3 hour meals. By the time dinner comes around I might have 2 soft boiled eggs or another shake. I have a cup of tea with Splenda to end my night. I’m hoping this stays the course as I start introducing solid foods.

So I’m glad your doing well, keep it up!!!

Make sure you are walking even if it’s around the house. I found the more you lounge the less energy you have. Keep drinking the water in between the shakes. But get up stretch and move. Post op they want you walking. I did so many laps every few hours a wore a hole in my hospital grip sock!!!

I went through same feelings 5 days before my surgery. Then came on here and realized there is a whole community rooting for you to do well!!! You got this just like I have this. I’m 6days post and am doing great!!! Best of luck and follow your drs plan!!

I’m out 5 days and have been able to take anti acid soft pill and I took oxy a day after getting out of hospital for the discomfort while trying to sleep.

I’m on day 5 post op. Everything seems to be going pretty well. My Dr has moved me to phase 2 eating, creamy soups, yogurts ith fruit flavor no pieces of fruit. Also soft boiled egg To go along with my protein shakes. I started my bariatric vitamins B12 dissolveable tablet, Calcium Citrate 1000mg chewable(not so great) and a multi that looks like a starburst candy!!!! So far I have been walking abouT 1.5-2 miles each morning( not today 12in snow) I find it easier to drink while on my walk rather than sitting down. I have to say that I am not hungry at all. I know I have to eat which I am doing getting in 60-80g protein and 64 oz liquids. It’s just weird that I’m not looking to graze in the fridge!!!! Also I am keeping a food journal, times and how much and protein taken in and am also using Baritastic app to track weight and goals and food as well. Might be a little over kill the journal but for now I seem to like it. Just wanted to share my first week with everyone because I’m proud of the work I’m doing!!!!

I am post op 2 days, I have to say I’m not sure if I’m hungry or not. That seems to be a good thing. I have been able to get down the fairlife protein shakes, jello, tea and water. But It feels so much better when I drink and walk at the same time. When I sit and drink I have to burp after every sip to drink a little more. Anyone else doing something different???

Hang in there Kurt, you settled me down when I was freaking out about the surgery!!! So go back to the Dr and explain everything you have explained on here and I’m confident that they will get you back up and running on the post op diet!! Just remember we are all here for you and each other on this forum..

I just had my sleeve surgery on This past Monday. It was done robotically, He says most precise. I have luckily not much pain since leaving hospital yesterday. Key is get off the chair or bed and walk.

Funny, my dr didn’t say anything about no caffeine. In recovery after the surgery I was able to sip some Hot Tea with splenda.

Had my surgery on Monday 1/25 and I had a 2 week pre op diet of 2-3 shakes and a protein and vegetables for lunch. Sugar free Jello for desert if needed and 64 oz water. And clear liquids day before. I think the pre op diet is a great way to start getting yourself into the mindset of you aren’t going to be eating a lot… I lost 16 pounds on the pre op. As for time off the dr is giving me 6 weeks because of the physical job of being a lineman. It’s only the beginning of day 3 and so far so good!!! Good luck with your surgery.

I’m curious about having the surgery in Mexico?? Do you live there? I see a bunch of people are having theirs done in Mexico.

I am going in this morning for the sleeve. I was good up till this past Monday and Wed where I always in complete freak out Mode. I talked to a couple of people who have had the surgery and that put my mind at ease. I have been good and confident the rest of the week. Remember you are choosing this surgery to take control back. To get Healthier for a long life ahead of you. Try to wrap your head around that and you will be in better head space. You just have to get through the pre diet which I breezed through losing 15lbs and the first few weeks. My people say it gets much better and it’s a decision you will not regret especially after you see your numbers go down. Good luck to you

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. I go in tomorrow.

Anthem approved mine just this past Thursday and I’m going in tomorrow.

5’9 started at 278. Since pre op diet down to 265

Monday is the big day. I’ve been up and down all week.

Just get back to pre op diet. Your going to cleanse yourself day before surgery. I’m sure you will be ok

How are you feeling/doing after surgery???

I I was told that as well but then 2 weeks before my surgery they said I should start with shakes, small meal is chicken and vegetables lunch, small fruit and shake for dinner. I’m assuming to get used to the amount of calories you will be trying to take in post op. I am on all clear liquids on Sunday for surgery on Monday.

My Sleeve surgery is scheduled for 1/24/22 and I was very excited about it until this past Monday. Almost haveing second thoughts. My pre surgical diet is shakes small fruit and protein and veggies for lunch shake for dinner. All liquids day before. I’m down 13 lbs already from 278 to 265 why am I so nervous? Did anyone else have second thought????
