Pre-Op Liquid Diet problems!
Atsirc replied to Tina Martin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do this! I had a two week liquid diet and here's how I had to look at it: There was the sane, well (but overly) fed me and then there was the STARVING me who wanted to make poor choices. There were times when the starving me got the best of the situation but then I remembered that I made this choice to change my life when I was the sane me. You are almost there- it's worth it already and I'm only 3 weeks post- op!!! -
Aetna was great! I had to do a three month diet that was monitored by my primary care doctor as well as a nutritionist. Once the paperwork was submitted I was approved in 3 days! If you have ANY questions just let me know!

Hello and welcome! I'm 27 and also live in Chicago! I'm about 3 weeks post- op... so excited the liquid diet and the surgery are over. Where are/ did you have your surgery?
-
I am two weeks post-op as well and I am going through some of the same feelings. I seem to be missing eating. It's crazy. It looks like I have to find a new hobby... other than food!
-
I've been cutting my food into small bites. I take a bite and put down my utensil and chew, chew, chew and swollow before I pick the utensil up again. Maybe this could help?

Don't feel bad! I was banded on the 20th also and have been on clear liquids since June 6th. I am trying to stop myself from licking everything in sight! It's good that you feel hungry! I was scared I would never feel hungry again... although that might have been a blessing.

Getting semi- sick of the house. I wish there was something fun to do that didn't involove looking decent.

It did not get easier for me until around day 10-12... sorry. It sucked more than the surgery!!! How long do you have to do it?
-
Isn't it strange how it feels like your guts are going to fall out when you stand up? What do you have on your incisions (staples, stitches, steristrips)? I have staples and I hate them. They are making me so anxious!
-
I was also banded on Monday! Congratulations! How are you feeling?
-
Wow am I sleepy today! I've forced myself to drink 64 oz of water and 2 protein shakes... it has NOT been easy.
-
It sounds like you and I are in the exact same boat! I had a hernia as well and can only sleep for an hour or so at a time. I'm really sore and the incisions are starting to itch!

Good luck!!!!
I hope everything goes beyond smoothly!! See you on the other side!!!!!!!!!! -
This is it! The next time we talk we'll both be POST-OP! GOOD LUCK!!! See you on the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
