What ya eating tonight?



Recommended Posts

Can I ask some of my post-op friends how they got past the extreme head hunger?? I'm seriously almost in tears! All I want is a big' date=' juicy burger, but I'm on Clear Liquids for another week, full liquids for 2 weeks, and then puréed for 2 weeks. I know this is only temporary and will be worth it. I'm just mourning food right now, I guess.... Lol[/quote']

There's no easy way when you're still on clear liquids....you just have to grab a Popsicle or juice or Water or chicken broth and suck n it all day.....it totally sucks'!!!! Once you get to fully and puréed you can mangle a burger into cheeseburger Soup and purée it and calm that craving ....but got now its just hang on and know it will get better. You can do this !!!!!!

Oh my! I am so sorry! That's a long time for liquids! The liquids stage was the absolute worst stage for me with head hunger too. I wish I knew how to help... I took a lot of naps during that time. My therapist told me that our brains have muscle memory, and when we feel like eating we need to find an activity that mimics that muscle movement. For me, it helped playing a game on my iPhone and the napping but maybe you can come up with something more creative. Sorry that's probably not much help :)

Even if you had a big, juicy burger in front of you, you would be able to eat only a few bites. And it would probably make you feel sick and regret it! Hang in there cuz it will get better.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
