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!

        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!!
