New Here. Four Days Post Op.



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this site for all my 473638362873 questions lol. I had my sleeve done on Wednesday the 26th. My highest weight was 224 (I'm 5'2") and after the pre-op diet I started my journey at 209. I'm so new post op and already hungry. Is this normal? I get hungry often but a few swigs of a Protein Drink or some mashed potatoes and I'm ok. I thought the hunger would disappear. Also when did everyone start the puree diet? I know everyone is different. Thanks all

Welcome! Hunger this early can be signs of other things. Sometimes it's just gas so if you were "prescribed" an anti acid like previcid, make sure you take those. Also, it can be thrist. If you get in all your Water, you may find this decreases the "hunger".

You're right about different instructions from different doctors. Mine allowed blenderized foods about 4 weeks post op. Good luck and let us hear how you're doing.

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

      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! 😞
