Starting new journey

Well I had my wls on Friday and came home from the hospital Monday.  I could have come home Sunday but they wouldn't release me until I passed gas, so I had to stay an extra night.  I had a good surgery and have had no problems since coming home, except the total lack of  hunger makes me wonder if I am getting in all the liquids I'm supposed to have the first two weeks.  Well my journey has begun and I'm anxious to see what the doctor says next week and how I do with the weight loss. 

Congrats on having your surgery. Don't worry about not being hungry ... I wasn't! Just get in as much as you can (my nutritionist suggested 2 oz. at a time of protein shakes/soups/drinks that we were on), and then get in your water. Good luck!

Congratulations and a speedy recovery.

You will be fine if you follow your doc's instructions.  Sounds like you have it together already.

Happy sipping!

Welcome to OFF!
Don't worry about lack of hunger, it's normal and will return one day.
Keep sipping always.

Congrats on joining us here on the Loser's Bench.  If you follow the rules given you by your surgeon and do your part, the tool works it's magic.  Enjoy the not being hungry part of things, for some it lasts a long time, for others, such as myself, it returned rather quickly, but the tool kept it simple to eat only what I could and so I've done well and I'm looking forward to your being part of this great board and sharing in your Wow moments.

Welcome to one of the most supportive forums on OH!

thanks for your positive comments and yes I am a quilter.  In fact that's one of the tools I plan to use to stay out of the kitchen.  Just stay in my sewing room and quilt.  I'll exercise and hopefully complete some beautiful projects.  I haven't done much recently but I am hoping to get back into it.  Are you a quilter?

Welcome and congratulations on making the decision to change your life!  The lack of hunger is normal.  I'm about 9 weeks out now and I've only felt hunger a couple of times.  I make myself eat or have a protein drink, because I know I need to get the liquids and protein in, not because I'm hungry.  I could probably go all day without putting anything in my mouth.  It's an effort for me to drink when I'm not thirsty, but I have to, so I do.  It's an effort to remember to take my three calcium tablet a day, but I have to, so I try.  As long as you follow your surgeon's orders you'll do great!
Are you a quilter by chance?  Quikthimble?
