I'm only 5days post op and I'm so hungry how did you deal with this part

Sent from my LGLS775 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was starving at 5 days too! I started with Greek yogurt and that helped a lot - Protein and it filled me up!

What diet are you on liquid or soft? On the liquid I ate creamed Soups and soft I ate minced meat and refried Beans.

I am still on thick liquids - creamed Soups, yogurt, broth, etc. Mid-week next week starts soft foods. I'm a little bored with my choices at this point!

Glad I saw this thread! Pretty much dealing with what the OP has. I’m mildly nauseous pretty much all day long but don’t vomit. I’m really sensitive to smells. It’s making it hard to eat or drink, but I force myself. All I want to do is sleep so I don’t have to feel this way. Because I’m sleeping so much, I’m not meeting Water or Protein goals. Currently 2.5 weeks post-op. Just trying to cling on to the thought that this feeling is temporary and it’s worth it in the long-run.

Walk Walk Walk... I know that will make you feel so much better! I didn't want to that is for sure. But as soon as I got up and kept moving, I started feeling soooooo much better!

Thank you!! I’ve been working out (arc trainer or Just Dance) a half hour every day since a week post op, but I need to work on being more active around the house.

Being 8 years post op, the memories are forever with you when you go through this kind of surgery. The best advice I can give you from myself going through it, is when you don’t eat enough Protein you not only lose a lot of muscle but Hair loss also! Try your best to get your protein and liquids in!

wishing you much success on your journey!

Cream of wheat is something I’m allowed during full liquid phase and omg, it was sooo good. Feels like actually eating like before - just much less of it.




Honestly I can’t wait till my full liquid phase to have cream of wheat!

It was the most glorious thing ever. I tried it the first day of my full liquid with the fortified milk and couldn’t stomach it, but this time I just did it with regular non-fat milk (I’m having my Protein Shakes more regularly now) and it tasted so good. I used to eat it with dried cranberries and a little (very little) brown sugar, but this time I just added a few sprinkles of Splenda and Yummmmm.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
