Going Bariatric Bananas! Lol!



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 days out of surgery and going bananas because I'm EXTREMELY hungry! Is this normal?

Called my dr and he told me add my Protein and cream Soups. Well that didn't work either.

I feel like I have a bottomless pit.

Anyway.....any good advice or jokes are welcome! ????

Yes it's normal. When I was on stage one liquids i was starving. When I got to stage two and could have premade Protein Shakes and thicker Soups it made a huge difference. I was still hungry in stage two but not as bad. Once you can do pureed and soft foods you'll see a huge difference and will really feel the restriction and will feel full when you eat. If you can get through these first couple of weeks you'll be fine. I promise.

I was exactly the same way. With each stage it gets better.

I'm experiencing the same thing. I hear it gets easier! I have one more week of liquids then I start soft foods.

Ok peeps so I'm 5 days fresh out of surgery.......well my doc gave me the thumbs up to add fish and pureed veggies only as dinner per day the earlier part of the day I'm on liquids as usual......eating the fish and veggie puree did the trick immediately!! I couldn't even eat 3 baby forks of fish and veggies but it solved the hunger. thank god!

wanted to mention please discuss adding any foods to your diet with your doctor first. My healing process and tummy may be different from someone elses. Jus sayin ????

ACID REDUCERS HELPED ME WITH THIS. MY HUNGER PANGS WERE ACID.

I'm going thru the same thing, I'm glad the second stage solved it for you and many others, I hope it will be the same for me because I feel so hungry and then I don't know if it's head hunger or actual hunger, I thought it could be the acid but I've been drinking the acid blockers, I start purée food on Tuesday, I'm so excited lol.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
