Having a hard time tonight...



Recommended Posts

Please ease my mind. I've taken 2 Vitamins and have had about 3 bottles of Water today. Will I get sick from lack of nutrition. I cannot stand Soup and today haven't been able to make myself eat it. So i've had virtually nothing to eat all day. I'm sitting here thinking "this is only day 4, you can't do this for 10 more days...its not healthy you'll be sick by the end of it". Tell me that this isn't true...and it's just my head wanting food.< /p>

Can you drink chick broth / bullion ? I was on Clear Liquids for 14 days, which was broth, juice, apple, cranberry, ice pops. I did fine. Don't stress out to much b/c your gonna make yourself sick. Call your doctor and talk to him tomorrow. Tell him your situation and see what he says. The reason they want you on liquids is to heal on the inside so be very careful.

What about Protein drinks....there's a clear one called Isopure.

I know your scared but just try to relax... and again, call your Doctor tomorrow.

HUGS

Jini - You and I are only days apart and on the same rocky ride. I average about 200 calories a day and have to push to get that. I try not to look at calories right now as I need the other things more than I need to "diet". I force some kind of creamy Soup down every day. Even if it's 1/4 of a cup, I feel like it's helping me get ready for the mushie stage. Also try the Frussion smoothies from Dannon. Just a different taste to help keep you interested.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
