4 days ago I had surgery. I don't feel like I had the surgery done lol. I've been drinking and drinking and no pain or feeling full. I am wondering if I actually had the surgery lol.

Funny how every commercial is with food particularly pizza which I LOVE. I hope I can have it again. I want some right now. I know I am hot hungry but I made a mistake not training my brain and eyes. They are craving food and not my new tummy. I have 10 more LONGGGGGgGgG days on full liquid Uhg. Can it go any slower?

I am trying to be patient but it's not easy. I come from a but family so there are lots of yummy food around me. They are being so nice and not eat in front of me but I know they are having delicious food.

Can't wait to have mashed potatoes and pudding :) looking forward to that.

That's funny I felt the same thing during my first week. I drank 64oz of Water like it was nothing and wondered if the doctor forgot to sleeve me. Wait another 2 weeks until you can finally eat, you'll see :)

It's GREAT that you're getting lots of fluids in! Don't limit yourself. It's perfectly normal and healthy for you. It will help with your healing. I feel your frustration with not being able to eat 'regular' foods yet. But you'll get there, just be patient and allow your body to heal :)

I'm in the same boat. I have not had any problems getting in my daily Fluid intake or the Protein drinks! When I eat low fat creamy Soups I still don't feel really full. Hope this is ok :/

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
