Seven days post op and dreaming about food



Recommended Posts

Seven days out, pain mostly gone although it was much more than I expected. On the liquid diet for two more weeks and can't stop thinking about eating real food. I'm even dreaming about eating food. Does this get better?!?! I know it especially hard with it being Christmas and all, but Soup and Protein Drinks are making me crazy. 5'4" 31y/o SW 320 CW 302

I'm also 7 days out and don't know if it ever will. I am also struggling with breaking down and eating an scrambled egg. I WANT food. I'm so sick and tired of this Water, SF Popsicle and Jello. I have 1 & 1/2 week on Stage 1 (clear liquid) and 2 weeks after that (Stage 2, full liquids) Hell, I'm excited about stage two...lol

But hang in there, we'll be able to eat sooner than later

I dream about food too and get sad thinking about how I may not be able to tolerate my faves for a long while

I'm 16 days post op and feeling super weak --- hard to get in fluids and Protein due to hernia pain in chest and was in the ER on day 11 due to dehydration

I'm 31 and 5'7" --- surgery weight was around 236 and current weight around 217

Oh no! I'm super worried about this. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 19th. What's the eating plan after that? I have learned a lot but don't know what to expect exactly. I meet with the nutritionist on the 14th to discuss diet post op. What can I expect?!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
