I had the VSG on June 29th my problem is I am starving mentally. I have chewed a couple things up then spit it out just to get the flavor. Ugh..... when will I be able to eat? How long before I don't feel these crazy cravings and one of the cravings was pickles I never really been a fan why now? I'm also feeling a bit depresed.

Ditto over here. I'm also feeling kind of depressed and I chewed stuff too to have a different taste in my mouth other then Jello and broth. My Dr says that I'd have to wait till my 3rd month post op to be able to eat regular foods but I just don't knw if I will

Make it there

I'm on liquids still. But I do chew stuff up and spit them back out. I've also had some of my kids Cereal ( 2-3 teaspoons full) and felt kinda full to tell I the truth. And it did take that jittery, weak, dizzy feeling I was experiencing at the time.

I went to my dr for my week follow up and he sent me liquid Protein to take 3x's a day. It's helped with that almost faint feeling but not with the hunger. I don't really know what to do anymore. I'm literally hungry every hour.

I've gone on YouTube and I read on other places that I'm not an alien from outer space and that I'm not the only one feeling like this. I just don't wanna fall into a depression stage cause I'm kinda prone to that. I'm thinking of calling to follow up with my nutritionist and see what she can help

With.

Yes I am prone to depression, and anxiety as well I am so glad I'm not alone I swear I cook for the family and I'm almost angry that they can eat and I can't lol I know it's not their fault and I don't show them how I feel but I do think it!

Yup. Totally understand what that feels like not only at home but at work as well since I do manage a cafeteria to top it off. I'm just so annoyed and I feel a bit of regret at times too.

I'm sorry you are both struggling with these issues post-op. I really want to encourage you to reach out to your respective health care teams for help in dealing with the physical and emotional stresses of adapting to life post-surgery. I know chewing and spitting seems harmless, but it is recognized as a form of disordered eating, and it is how many bulimics get started. Please don't head down that road! It can also mess up your metabolism. Best wishes to both of you going forward.

We are surgery sisters! You are not the only one to feel that way. I cant stand the liquid diet. Soup and Jello and pudding...ugh! Protein shakes are the highlight of my day. I get to start soft Protein tomorrow.

I soo feel left out with everyone talking about these Protein shakes. post-295739-14677635401433_thumb.jpg post-295739-14677635668765_thumb.jpg

This is what my Protein consists of. 3 x's a day. Even though it hasn't done squat for my feeling hungry it has been good for the weakness,nausea, sleepiness and lightheadedness that I was experiencing after getting out of the hospital

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
