DAY 4 LIQUID PREOP.... HEEEEEEEELP!
cartmansnj replied to zoriahdiana5's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Asses of water? Not sure about that!!! -
So I could make soup or chili like I normally would and just put it in the food processor??

My wife works at Chipotle. I was thinking of having her bring me a little of the chicken and mild salsa and throwing that in the food processor. That should be good right?

Had one scrambled egg for breakfast. I dont think it gave me any problems. I am afraid to eat anything!!

DAY 4 LIQUID PREOP.... HEEEEEEEELP!
cartmansnj replied to zoriahdiana5's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
You really do need to drink your water. That is key. If you cant do it with just water, add it to crystal light or something sugar free and low calorie that you like. -
I plan on asking my surgeon tomorrow but just wondering. I have been on the liquid diet for 2 weeks now and am supposed to start my pureed stage tomorrow. Would it be better if I can stay on the liquid diet if I can or should I start the pureed foods???

I have never felt that sensation. I would be calling my Dr. right away just to be sure. -
protein drinks and drinking around them
cartmansnj replied to jamesapricejr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I believe he was asking if he should not drink water 30 mins prior to drinking protein shakes. A great question that I dont know the answer to. I dont keep track of my fluid intake before or after protein shakes but I could be doing something wrong. -
How much pain after? Help.
cartmansnj replied to staffieri's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very normal. Hurt like crazy whenever I would get in or out of bad. Also hurt bad when I laughed!! -
I was told that it is not really about shrinking your liver rather than making it soft so it does not crack when they have to move it out of the way. If you are your Doctor's orders, I am sure you will be fine.

What is your post-op full liquid meal for the day like?
cartmansnj replied to Chubarella's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I have a couple ounces at a time of protein drink. 1 atkins and 1 pure protein. 12 oz each and combined=50 grams of protein. I also have a 32 oz bottle of powerade zero. I have also been having a can of creamed soup each day. Not all at once and strained of course to get rid of the chunks of chicken or mushroom. -

7 weeks post op & 100 lbs down
cartmansnj replied to BewhoGodcreatedmetobe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great work. Congratulations. Keep it up. That is amazing. -
Thats funny. I was never cold before the surgery. I was always hot. Turning down the heat and wearing shorts and t-shirt inside in the winter. After surgery, I am always freezing. My hands and feet are like ice. I wonder if it is because we are not eating any calories?

Places to get liquid protein samples
cartmansnj replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I ordered pure protein shakes from Amazon.com. They dont taste as good as the atkins shakes but they have 35 grams of protein in each can.
