I was gonna try to be strong and just use liquid Tylenol but oh no bring on the drugs! I'm so incredibly sore. Haven't had any issues with liquids though so I've been very hydrated. (Sipping slowly) also sugar free popsicles = amazing!!!

Anyone have any advice for the changing flavor of my Protein Shake? I was doing powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury with vanilla almond milk prior to surgery and tonight I had 1 taste and GROSS!

Use the drugs!!!! You just had abdominal surgery...the doctors gave you the painkillers for a reason. No need to be brave! It hurts! But only for a few days. I was off my painkillers by the fourth day, so it's definitely not forever.

Do you like coffee? ? chocolate Unjury in a cup of coffee has been awesome.

Good luck!

You can put that in your coffee, or pretty much anywhere I think. I have read people use it in Crystal light, and in Soups.

If you really aren't loving it, maybe a friend can run out and get you a few ready to drink Protein drinks at the supermarket...?

Happy to hear your doing well!!! First few days drugs are your friend :)

I am feeling a million times better... Day 4-5ish were emotionally tough but now that I don't feel hungry anymore I feel like a million bucks. I just basically sip my Protein drink throughout the day instead of all at one and it worked great so far. Then with any breakthrough "hunger" I do my sf Jello, yogurt, or creamy Soup. I am a lil sad I'm on full liquid for another week until mushie but I will survive. Lol! How is everything going for you?

Good! I'm glad to hear that!!! I'm just really sore but the pain meds are working and making me sleep. I went on a walk around the block last night and that was nice, but I think it may have been too much too soon. Gonna try again later today.

I do feel extremely hungry at times and at first I thought it was all in my head but it's not cuz it's still here today. I found some muscle milk in my pantry so that's in the fridge to chill for a bit then I'm gonna work on that. I have had a few SF popsicles, SF Jello, and crystal light though. No issues getting it down.

About a week after surgery I was so hungry!!! My husband was really swollen, and didn't even want to think about food.

He was sitting on our couch and me on our love seat and the ball game was on, and don't you know all those games have to have FOOOOOD commercials!

I was STARVING!!!!

I jumped up and yelled at him, shut that thing off!! I can smell the wings through the TV!!

He said to me with a grimace of disgust on his face "How can you even think about eating ANYTHING?"

I'm STARVING I shouted at him! I'm so hungry I'm going to find a Cow and eat it!

We had a good laugh, I'm sure I looked rabid at the time! We laugh about it now when we see the millions of food commercials that play on TV, but at the time I was dead serious! I was HUNGRY!!!!

I learned later on this forum others call it bandster hell. Yep I was there...the cats and the kids all hid in fear! :D :D

But looks like (unless I'm told otherwise on Monday) that I'll be on liquids for 2 weeks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
