I'm 13 days out and I seem to be getting more tired not less. I'm taking Centrum Silver in the morning, and calcium at lunch and dinner. I haven't supplemented with iron yet. My nut told me to wait and see. Could I be anemic already?

12 days post op here and just started pureed food yesterday. How come sometimes I am totally interested in food and other times I don't care at all? I'm sure some of it is head hunger, but what exactly is head hunger? And isn't it just normal to be mor

So today is 10 days out. I am SO hungry for FOOD! I was reading my surgeon's nutrition info and one page says "liquids for 10 days" and another place says to "start the soft food diet on Day 10". Ha! Guess which one I'm going with? Lol.

Im gett

Day 7 out for me. I've loved the total disinterest in food I've had this week. My daughter's graduation party was yesterday and there were tons of goodies that don't even tempt me.

But today, food sounds good. It's not like I feel like I want a

I thought I was prepared. I've been reading on this forum for months, researching on the Internet, reading books, etc. so I knew it was going to be hard, but I feel pretty horrid. I had surgery on Monday so this is day 4. 

I'm so thirsty. The 2

I'm 3 days post op and I just got home from the hospital. I was drinking water at the hospital and it kept making me burp. Painfully loud too. The nurse said it was just gas from the surgery but I wonder if I'm drinking too fast. I'm easily getting in

Surgery was at 11:30 Colorado time. Lots of gas pain but I am now resting comfortably on THE LOSER's BENCH!!!

I'm on my pre op liquid diet, and I'm SO hungry!! My family was having pizza and it was killing me. 

Is is it going to be this hard post op? Will I be this hungry?

Complications with my hernia have moved my surgery up by three weeks to this Monday. Suddenly I'm on liquids and I wasn't ready for this!!!

So advice please... What should I pack to take to the hospital? I have the vitamins and an assortment of

So I'm having RNY on 6/6. I scheduled it for summer since I'm a teacher. I'm also having a hiatal hernia repair. However, in the last couple of weeks I am having symptoms that make me think the hernia is getting worse. The hernia is pressing on the sph

i just went to a three hour pre op nutrition class. (Drove two hours each way through the stupid Colorado snow.) It was educational but I already learned most of what I know from you all.

I had to laugh though when the nutritionist told us abou

And no, I don't mean joining a nudist colony.

I'm having RNY on 6/7 and I'm in the process of changing out my winter clothes for my spring clothes. I have a whole winter wardrobe of size 24 and 2X clothing and I shouldn't need them post WLS. So

Can you eat the little cans of pre mixed tuna (minus the crackers) and not get sick/dump? I'm hoping to eat these when I get to the soft foods stage.

So my surgery date is June 6. I'm waiting until summer break for my job. On July 16 I'm going on vacation to Canada with my mom and sisters. I'll be five weeks out from surgery. Assuming I have no complications, what will I be able to eat at 5 weeks? W

I have a question for the mamas (and the papas) of this group.  How do you cook for a family post op?

In the past when I've tried to eat low carb, I had a hard time eating my food and then managing a meal for my family. That was one thing that

I am seeing a surgeon next week for an initial consultation. I'm also having knee problems and was told in November that I needed knee replacement at the age of 47. I went back to the orthopedic doc and told him I'm planning on having bariatric surgery

i started another thread asking veterans how they keep the weight off after surgery. So many of you answered and I appreciate that. The advice I got was consistent- be careful of what you eat, weigh and measure, count calories, etc. my reaction to that

I have my consultation with a surgeon on 1/20. I will be asking this question there as well but wanted to ask some of the veterans here... What keeps you from eventually regaining the weight with RNY? Everyone I talk to about it tells me that "everybod

I have researched like crazy and I want WLS!

i have good insurance coverage. I have two appointments with surgeons to see which one I like better. I meet the medical criteria. What I don't know is which surgery is right for me.

i had an

I would like to have RNY but am concerned about the meds I take for depression. I read that two meds I take are absorbed in the small intestines so would not be as effective. Anyone with experience in this area?
