1. Will I ever be able to drink ice Water again? When I drink it down it irritates me =/

2. I don't feel hungry... That's not the problem lol the problem is I don't feel like I'm eating enough... Anyone else feel like this? Will I ever eat like a normal person?

It gets better as time goes on. I am9 weeks post op and can eat 800 to 900 calories per my nutritionist advise. I can drink any thing hot or very cold.

You will eat normally again. I can eat anything at this point (surg. Dec. 7) and the main focus now is listening to my body to know when I have had enough. Your focus will change a lot. Just make sure you keep drinking Water, even if it is room temp.

Hi miss Tiffany I feel the same way. Loved Water now I get weird pains. Doc said can last 1-3 months. :(. I am only on week 4. It has improved but not where I would like.

food. My relationship with food has changed. Never thought I would say that. I am in Florida visiting sister. I was a cheap 2 dollar date at Mexican rest. I got a chicken taco. No shell. I watched family gorge on what I used too. Felt a little jealous. Them after about 5 bites no longer .... I love cooking and baking. Big adjustments.

We will be fine.

mmmm yeah I came out of surgery with the only thing taking away my thirst was ice Water or ice. I never had that problem. I'm sorry I'm of no help.

I hear you on the calorie deficit. Some days I only get like 200 calories...I'm 12 days post op.

I'm 3 weeks out and I can have ice Water now, I'm guessing that will get easier for you. I know what you mean about not feeling like eating. I find myself forgetting to eat and having to force something down. I'm sure things will get better though. Patience patience

I have been drinking ice Water since the day after surgery with no issues. I love water so that was a sigh of relief for me. I am 15 days post op and I too feel I am just not getting in enough of anything except my water. I have good days and bad days. I have read it will get better!

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
