Had Surgery on September 8th 2015



Recommended Posts

I know I need to be walking more, but I am so tired. I still have pain on my left side. I have felt better today than any other day. No nausea today. Was able to get all my Protein in today, and close to getting my Water.< /p>

Do you feel hungry at all? I don't but read that is normal.

I had mine on Sept. 8th also. I am still dealing with the gas pains, but I have noticed the walking helps. I know that I'm not hungry but mentally I am struggling with wanting something more solid. I have been on a liquid diet for 6 weeks now. I never really understood why my doctor made me start my liquid diet so early. Anyways, I just signed up on this app and already feel encouraged by the fact that my feelings are normal.

I got mine done Sept 8 too.

I am good with the pain, just taking Tylenol when needed. Still on liquid diet but new tummy is proving to be VERY picky about what it likes Protein wise.

I can no longer tolerate any sweet Protein drinks, no Nutrimed, nothing. Makes new tummy hurt badly. New tummy hates flavored Water too.

Thankfully I had some unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein and put that in some Tomato Soup. So far, new tummy is happy with it.

I had surgery 9/10. Feeling pretty good. Still have bad gas pains but getting better each day. Walking around the house, might burn a track in my small apartment. Going to try Protein Shakes today. Good luck to everyone on our journey!

Before surgery I didn't mind the premixed Premier Protein shakes, but after surgery I couldn't do it. I have since been mixing my own and it's going much better. Hope you find something you can tolorate.

Do any of Yall have trouble getting Unjury unflavored Protein to mix? Comes in really clumpy for me. Any ideas?

I had my sleeve done on 9/9 and I had a hernia as well. It is going ok so far. The gas pains were what was killing me but I took some Phazyme and I feel so much better. I have been walking and taking in a lot of fluids. I even cooked Spaghetti and Fried Fish food my family two nights ago. Was not hungry or had the urge to taste. I had my Mom taste the Spaghetti sauce for me. I am quite sure that would have tore my stomach up...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
