Post OP 4 days



Recommended Posts

Does anybody have a hard time feeling motivated, excited?? I’m following my post-OP diet to the T but I find my self frustrated most of the times. How can I get excited again about having my MGB done ?? P.S I’m not hungry at all but I see everybody eating my favorite foods.

I’m 4 days out from my sleeve and I have had a full range of emotions. I don’t want to be around my family when they eat. Like you, I am not hungry or want what they have, but I just don’t want to even see the food. It’s weird for me to see it, but have no desire to eat it. I think that is what is throwing me emotionally. I may be expecting my old feeling of food lust to surface and their not. I know I’m rambling!!!

i felt unmotivated a few days before the surgery. I think it was nerves. It did help me to see the scale moving so quickly.

I am curious. Do you feel worried about messing up when you get to “real” food, rather than liquids?

Idk if I would be afraid to mess up when I get to the pure foods. Idk what to think to be honest. Maybe when I get to the stage, I’ll know for sure. I also go to my room when my family eats and idk why but I don’t like seeing them eat real food.

I'm 5 days post-op and had to attend my company luncheon today, at my favorite restaurant! Pasta for a crowd, wine flowing and, THE BREAD! I sat there with my glass of water... drooling. I think it was a good thing tho... I realized that I could skip it all and still survive! I think it is important to be able to be social with family and friends even if they are eating and I am not!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
