Only few days in.....



Recommended Posts

I’m 16 days post op and I don’t think I give myself a chance to get hungry. I stay drinking Water and knocking down Protein. I just started blended/puréed and can’t even eat a quarter to half cup before feeling like I’m going to burst. Not sure if it’s all the liquids I drink or what, but I have to force myself to eat. Only time I want food is when I’m smelling something scrumptious!! I started drinking Protein Water as soon as I got out of the hospital. May be the difference. Not sure how I’ll handle hunger!! Good luck!!

I had mine on the 20th and it was 4 days in when it hit and now mentally I crave so much but I personally know it's not reflux because I had reflux before surgery so I know my reflux issues. So many people talked about not having hunger after surgery but mine woke me up in the middle of the night and was like "Hey you, what are you doing? Eat something!"
Yup that's exactly right!

Thank you for sharing that video FluffyChix. Very informative, and explains very well why acid in your stomach can cause hunger post surgery. It’s very important if you’re feeling hungry, to make sure you’re taking that antacid.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
