I'm just over a week post-op and I'm feeling very lethargic and totally don't want to even drink shakes. I look in the fridge and just want to throw up! :w00t:

I suppose it doesn't help that I've got some kind of throat/mouth infection but I'm just not interested in food. Anyone else felt this way and moved above it?

I don't know about wanting to throw up but I'm certainly not interested in food of late. I only force down the Profect for the Protein. I am really scared about my hair falling out.

My surgery was only a few days ago and I was certain I'd be hungry all the time with the diet recommendations but I really have not. I keep my spirits up reading from the success stories on this forum and how someday soon I will join them. Hang in there with me.

I suppose indulging in some success stories might do the trick. Yelp- hair falling out? I have a love affair with mine. Protein shakes it is! Dx

I just got some mouth gargle that numbs everything... aah, bliss! :redface:

Initially, but it doesn't last that long. Hunger starts to creep back in after a few weeks if there isn't any fill in the band.

Yeah, I am pretty happy with mine as well. Don't forget the Biotin (5000 mcg daily)!

Try some creamed soups! They really helped me feel better. Best wishes!!!

Biotin? Never heard of it but I'll Google it. ^w^

I've started taking Clinicians Vitamin and Mineral Boost (powder) and it's fantastic. I looked around online to see if it's available elsewhere (my Mum sells it through her business) and the prices are crazy so I won't recommend it for that. But it's a great product. I put it in a little bit of kiwifruit juice. Om nom! :redface:

I get banded monday and have been on a pre-op diet since may 3rd. I havent been hungry for about a week and a half now. I have to force myself to drink my shakes. Today I had a venti skinny iced latte from startbucks (im allowed coffee) and it filled me up, i was so full! I felt like i just ate a thanksgiving dinner.

Everyone keeps saying they are hungry but I can relate to you when you say you look in the fridge and just want to throw up.

Oooh, I had the same thing pre-op. Everyone would look at me like I'm some freak for being stuffed silly on a cup of Fluid. But for some weird reason, it was just very, very fulfilling.

I joked with my surgeon that with the fullness and weight-loss on it, I could just go on doing that forever and skip the banding. If only it were that easy!

Good luck for Monday! :redface:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
