Not hungry just very thirsty



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days after surgery.

i don’t get very hungry but I’m dying for a whole bottle of Water I know I can’t have it that way ! I’m also scared to eat to much or to drink to much I feel like I wouldn’t loose any weight if I drink to much or eat to much. Am I the only random person that feels that way.

You can have Water just sip it.

Which surgery did you have?

I was very excited to be losing weight. I had a gastric bypass initially and with that or Duodenal switch you are guaranteed to lose for the first year.

you actually SHOULD be drinking plenty of Water and/or other no-cal or ultra-low-cal beverages. You need the fluids. Just don't chug it - but you can sip all day if you need to...

I concur with catwoman please drink your Water dehydration is number one reason for hospital visit after surgery. They may have to put iv in. Im not afraid to gain from water. You might need to speak with the counselor. I do want to add that its a good sogn you arent hungry some people who get sleeve still have appetite so you got lucky there 🥴👍🏼

I'm also 5 days out[emoji177][emoji177] Congratulations. I definitely still get hungry. In facts my stomach was growling after surgery[emoji2364]. Have you heard of liquids IV?? You Can buy them on Amazon. They are little packages that you can put in your Water to increase your hydration times 3! I hope they make you feel better! Lots of Sleeve patients use it.

Just an FYI, but stomach growling is a sign of stomach acid. Make sure you are taking a PPI

I'm sorry, but liquid i.v. is just like any other electrolyte drink like gatoraide.

It CANNOT hydrate 3x more than simple Water. Their CLAIM is that it hydrates 3x faster. Even that is questionable.

check the ingredients. 11g of SUGAR. There is your 45 calories right there.

500mg Sodium. May help Fluid into bloodstream quicker, but also water retention.

it has 2x the salt of gatorade, 1/2 the sugar.

Serving Size 1 Stick Pack(s)
Servings Per Container 16

Water works, we're in no hurry.

The military gives salt pills to prevent dehydration. Think about it.

It *IS* amazing, isn't it?

You know, there are doctors right now telling idiots they don't need masks. Yeah. Doctors.

WOW.

Sure, the SAME ingredients (sugar, salt, potasiam) in your product work MAGICALLY 3x better than Water, but the SAME ingredients in gatoraid don't. Isn't that special. I did the research, I know better.

And we both know you didn't do research, or you would have posted it. Instead, you got offended. Boo Hoo.

Have your Surgeon explain it to you clearly the difference. In small words. Have him explain exactly the mechanism that causes SUGAR, SALT, and POSOSIUM to hydrate you 3 times more than water. Since that is not even a claim the company makes, it should be interesting.

VITAMINS? What the fig are you talking about? The product has no Vitamins. I posted the INGREDIENTS! You do understand how labels work, no?

Another WOW.

Research is my thing. This was easy.

Enjoy,

Tek

Since I know I'm talking to a fool I didn't care enough to correct any typos... We're not talking about mask. I'm sure you learned in elementary school how to stick to one topic at a time. Anyways have a good day 😊.

Yes, you sure got me with that one. People always deflect when they can't defend.

Now learn where "The Greater Fool" comes from:

Who is the greater fool? The fool, or she that argues with the fool?

This is my world, you just live in it ;)

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
