4 days post op

[irishmicmama 14]

Why am I not bouncing back like the rest of you gals? 4 days post op & still in so much discomfort & slight pain! Maybe my age, I'm 45... I'm so jealous of you gals right now!

Yes, the more solid and dense, the more texture I get, the better my satiety. Hang in there. You're going through a super hard phase(s) right now! It does get better!!

Thank you ! My hunger is returning and it’s really freaking me out so I appreciate the reassurance. And I’m glad you are doing so well !!

Don’t worry, I was in the same boat as you. I’m one week out now and finally starting to feel better. Definitely wish I had the same experience as the OP, but it sounds like we’re all a little different. You’ve got this girl! Give yourself a few more days and I bet you’ll start feeling a lot better.

I’m also struggling. Sleeved 4/12. Felt pretty good as of Sunday, but yesterday and today I’m super lethargic and feel just lousy. I’ve had a low grade fever since Monday that comes and goes. I didn’t need any pain medication today, as it only hurt if I coughed. But the clear liquid/no vitamin/no Protein stage 1 parameters are kicking my ass. Hoping for stage 2 upgrade at my post-op appointment on Thursday. I’ve never fantasized about a scrambled egg before! And I’m 50, maybe it’s my age...

Good to read everyone is feeling like me (great)

i was really afraid that something was wrong.

I lost a 11lbs only to gain 3 back. I have been following the diet precisely.

Week 2 for me tomorrow

Omg, I'm so craving the same thing, a scrambled egg! I too can not wait to go to stage2!!! I was still in some pain today too.

Got upgraded today at my 1week post op appointment. Immediately came home and had that scrambled egg. Must have been way too excited and ate too quickly. Now I’m feeling some indigestion. Going to take it easy today and work my way into Stage 2 slowly. But it will be good to start getting some Protein in:)

I too am wanting a scrambled egg and I have never been a scrambled egg person. I felt fine after my surgery on 4/2, just get a little tired in the afternoons.

I’m 5 days post op. & i feel amazing. Like you Except on my left lower incision I feel a knot or a constant tugging sensation which is annoying. But other than that, no nausea, pain is minimal, and I’m keeping liquids down good. I keep thinking in doing things wrong because of how good i feel besides that little knot feeling in the left lower side.

My surgeon told me that the incision that they use to remove the extra stomach will pull more and be more painful since they place a staple very deep in the skin layers.

Although I am not in as much pain as you, I don’t feel normal yet. I am one week out today, and still have so little energy. My legs feel wobbly. Tomorrow I start soft foods so I hope that helps with my energy. I had pain the first two-three days and was basically taking my pain meds every six hours for that whole time.

I'm a newbie and so happy to see these responses. I had a mini-bypass on 4/27 with Dr. Illan. I can drink as much as I want, hot or cold and any kind of Fluid. I can gulp too. It freaks me out how fast I can drink something so I purposefully take it slow. I easily get in 80oz+ a day in fluid. My incisions and drain have healed nicely. I only have a bit itching and tugging if I twist too fast. I stopped pain meds in the hospital because I don't like taking them and they make me sick. I've been drinking clear Proteins and Bone Broth to get in my recommended 40+ grams this week. I'm only taking in about 300 calories a day though. I gained weight after surgery but have slowly started losing it now. I'm really scared to try full liquids. I'm worried about lactose tolerance because I love the Premier Proteins and I'm terrified of dumping.
