Ok I'm 10 days post op and was cleared to do purée stage yesterday. I have a question... Is it too early for me to feel hungry? I haven't felt hungry at all until now and I had 1 1/2 Tbsp. of puréed meat and veggies at 1:30 then Protein Shake at 4:30... Been drinking liquids since then and around 7 I finally felt hunger grumbled in my tummy, but I'm scared that I should feel hungry at all!!! Is this normal at my stage???

I haven't felt actually hungry yet. I wanna eat, but it's just my brain talking. Some people feel hungry. I don't think it's abnormal at all. Drink first just to make sure you're not thirsty.

Yep! I thought it was just me! When I came home from the hospital I could smell every wallflower and candle I had in the house! It was very overwhelming. Hoping it doesn't stay this sensitive!! :)

Are you drinking milk at all? I got diarrhea when I had my Protein shakes with 1% milk. You can become lactose intolerant after surgery. If you switch to lactaid your diarrhea will go away.

I'm completely lactose free, and yet it continues. Just hope I'm absorbing enough nutrients. And also hoping that this is not my life forever-tied to a toilet.

Ok-I'm a lil freaked out. I lost 15 pounds first week and I have lost NOTHING the second week. Please tell me I didn't do this for nothing??!! I was at a wedding last night - the most beautiful food and drinks served all night. Of course, I ate the mashes potatoes and creamed spinach, but I forwent all the yummy goodness. Now, I'm wondering if I'm gong to be that one person that loses Nothing. I have no thyroid and wonder if its still wrecking my life! It's the reason I had surgery! I take my meds and my numbers are good.uggggghhhh. Feeling frustrated and a lil worried!

Just checking in everyone. I'm six days post op and its been ups and downs. Pain has been very manageable. Just a lot of weak spells and some nausea. Just trying to get fluids in and walk and rest. I just want to throw out docs orders and sleep for days. I know the less I take in the worse I feel. I'll get there. I just need more time to heal right? I k ow it'll get better.

My prayers are with tomorrow's surgery peeps. Love you guys. I need your prayers and positive thoughts. Still feeling really overwhelmed.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?
