May 10 surgery booked



Recommended Posts

Anyone having surgery May10? I am very nervous and have read so many posts on here. Just looking for any tips for right after surgery. I am scared that I will be hungry but unable to eat. I currently never feel full. Does anyone have experience of this feeling? Did anyone have complications right after surgery that’s another fear of mine. Thanks in advance

I haven’t had surgery yet but my friend had got her sleeve done last year. Every experience is different. Some feel fine, some are miserable. My friend wasn’t hungry the first week then started having head hunger for a while (but not long). She’s doing great now 8 months out. Don’t overthink it, best wishes on your surgery.

PS, your surgery is on my birthday [emoji846]

I’m May 10th as well. Little nervous but I’m just trying to focus on baby steps. First step is the liquid diet starting tomorrow. I’m going to start back reading and other activities to keep my mind off of the hunger.

Congrats!! We can hopefully talk each other through this journey. I am doing the same thing occupying my dad to keep busy and my mind off the hunger so far so good.

I also have my surgery on May 10th. I am pretty busy at the moment, but in a calm moment I get afraid too. I don't have do go on a liquid diet before, but started to include some new habits already. I am counting my calories, increasing my Water intake and trying to eat about 90 grams of Protein. Just started two days ago, so I don't feel too bad yet.

What have you planned for your post-op liquid diet? Any recommendations?

Haven’t even started to plan for that yet. I will start next week. I am hoping the dietician I’m working with will give me some great tips.

My surgery was 4/12. I haven't experienced any vomiting or nausea. I am tolerating all foods (that I have tried) well. I started my soft diet today. I am not hungry and just eat when it is time to eat.

I haven't had a lot of pain and what I have had has been around the incision sites. I haven't taken any pain medication.

The liquid diet was hard. Best Wishes to you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
