Recommended Posts

Help me ladies. I don't know what is wrong with me but I am STARVING! I've been on liquid since the 1st of August and I can't get rid of the hunger pains. What can I do?

Bev are you pre or post op?

So, I'm doing ok now. Was having a lot of issues with the gas not passing and nausea. I have had very little pain medicine though. Hope all is well with you.

So mine went well! How are you doing??

I'm baack. Surgery on Monday, unfortunately lots of pain for me. (Why me?) I'm able to get things down pretty well, no throwing up. But I'm being careful not to eat something to cause that, because PAIN. So, I'm taking pain meds so I can move and get rid of said pain. Kinda gassy, guess that is a good sign. Still waiting on that end to wake up. My throat is really sore where they were working, it's hard to swallow-kinda just gurgles. I hope it's just swollen and not permanent. Everything looks good. Can't wait to get rid of the drain. Ugh! Sooo when will I be out of pain to walk normal? Any ideas?

I go Tuesday for pre op. Can't wait. Very excited!

Congrats! I am 2 days post op and feel pretty good. Stomach is sore and have a little gas but I make sure I am walking a lot.. Get out of bed as soon as you can. I was walking every hour right after surgery. Think that's why I didn't have to deal with real bad gas pains...

My surgery is in 8.5 hours. I'm a bundle of nerves. My stomach is gurgling and has been since 1 pm.

Anyone else who has already had their surgery, is this normal?

Just had my surgery 8/5 . Everything you are feeling is normal. I've had 4 other surgeries and was never nervous but this one had me on pins and needles. But come to find out I was worried for no reason. Pain is minimal and seem to be moving around a lot better than I had for the other times. I think for most of us the fear is that it won't work on us! But I know as long as I do what doc and nut say I will be a success and so will you!!! Let us know how things go as soon as you get a chance!

I am still in the hospital. I had surgery on Tuesday. I'm here so long to due to breathing problems and sinus congestion. BAD headache. But other than that, I'm fine. Hoping to go home tomorrow.

I know, they are only at a few grocery stores. I found mine at one nearby and bought three boxes of them :)

Going to have to look for these...my liquid diet is too boring.

My pre-op went ok and doing the liquid diet - not as bad as I thought it would be. Surgery is set for the 13th. My last day at work was yesterday - spent the whole day with my mom and went shopping. This weekend is for my husband and daughter. I am stressed and scared but I am more worried about my husband - you can see the worry and stress in his face. He is my anchor that keeps me calm. He knows that this time it is higher risk than the first attempt but we both know it is necessary. Reading these threads keep me encouraged - thank you all.

You are going to do fine. It is a very stressful situation. But keep your head up and know that God is always in control!!! He will guide the hands of the surgical staff so that you will have a safe surgery. I'll keep you in my prayers.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
