Day 4: How many or how many ounces of Protein Shakes are you drinking? My book says 3 a day but that seems like a lot. What are you guys doing?

I am having trouble getting all the Protein Drinks in as well. Plus, the ones I thought tasted really good before surgery are kind of grossing me out now...bummer. I'm focusing mainly on getting Water in at this point and trying to slowly up my Protein intake.

One of my nurses told me it may take up to five days after surgery to have a bm, but so long as I was passing gas it was okay.

On starving too! I'm so tired of liquids. Wishing I was 3 weeks out so I can eat cottage cheese or scrambled eggs.< /p>

DITTO on starving! I make the Soup broth but then 20 minutes later, I'm hungry again. I've been drinking apple juice and Water but I'm so tired of it. Maybe next week will be better with Protein Shakes, yogurts, and cream Soups. Other than hungry, I feel pretty good. No complications whatsoever

My RNY was July 1 and I've been on a clear liquid and Protein Shake diet since then. The past two days I've been thinking about real food. I'm having cravings big time!

I know I can't risk damaging my pouch so I won't act on the cravings but I'm wondering if anyone else is feeling this, too. Is this what "head hunger" feels like? How do you differentiate between head hunger and true hunger?

And on the poop thread- my PA said it could be a week or more to have a BM. She says long as things are moving (gas) you're ok.

I was sleeved on July 1. I feel lucky that I am doing well. I have a fair amount of energy. I walked the dog, did some light laundry and vacuumed today. I am struggling getting in my Protein. Everything turns me off at this point. I am hoping by next week when I start the puréed stage it will be better. My nasuea seems to have gotten better today but still struggling with Proteins and even chicken broth. Skim milk and liquids are tolerable. Does anyone know when the burping will end?? I don't burp and this is ridiculous. I am a lady :-) and can not go back to the office burping after every sip. I know waking helps but as mentioned above I think I am doing well on my activity four days post op.

Wow!!!! Walking the dog already!! That's bloody awesome! I feel like a lazy butt now cause ive pretty much stayed in bed watching tv and lapping up everyone doing everything for me! I'm sick of the burping with every sip also, it's frustrating, and I'm hoping it's going to go soon!

It's day 6 and the gas seems worse today than yesterday. I get up and walk but it seems worse.my belly is so sore and distended. When the gas started passing the day before yesterday I started feeling really better. That was my last day on clear fluids. I'm wondering if it's the addition of the Protein Shakes. Has anyone else felt like gas increased when they started phase 2?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
