4 days post op and bored of food and being home



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Wednesday and came home Friday. Today was the first day I have really been able to sip throughout the day without issue. I am already getting sick of broth and Water. I hate pudding. I also tried Jello with protien but my stomach won't let me consume but so much. I want to go back to work next week but I doubt I will be able to. I know it sounds like a bunch of complaints but well....... basically it is. I just need some encouragement to get past this stage. 2 weeks seems like a distance dream be forever things can change ????

Have you tried Syntrax Necture? I get it from Amazon and when I have days when I don't feel like eating (which isnt often now), I make sure I get my Protein in with this. I have tried a few flavours but only really like the grape. I make a huge glass of it and use a full scoop which makes it 24g of Protein. I also have protein latte, which I have every morning, winter and summer and thats lovely too.

Once you start on the next stage it will be so much easier. Don't rush though, listen to your body.

Hope you feel better soon :)

The liquid stage, by far, was the most unpleasant time of this entire journey for me. It does get better. Just power through for now and take solace in the fact that this is the worst time of it.

In terms of the boredom, I recommend finding something that you enjoy doing and devote part of your day to it. For me, it was going to my spa for tanning, red light therapy, hydration therapy, and massage. I went every day at 1:00pm during my six week medical leave. The spa is about a mile from my house, so the walk down and back gave me my exercise, and it got me out of the house for about 2.5 hours each day. I also napped A LOT in the early days. My life and career is so hectic that I actually relished in the quiet, silence, and nothing-to-doness!

Good luck!

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
