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.

      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!!

      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...
