Recommended Posts

My first time being put under. The whole thing was no big deal to me but I had a friend they let come into the OR while I was under and also stayed with me during the recovery room time.

I'm got home around 4 pm the day after surgery and I'm doing ok, just very sore but I have Hydrocodone for that.

Oh yeah, the friend that was with me the whole time, his name is Jesus :biggrin:

Thx,

dave

dave

I eat about 1 cup of food per meal and drink 1-2 Protein drinks per day.

I eat oatmeal in the morning

some kind of Protein and veggie for lunch

same for dinner.

I have not counted my calories so really dont know what it is at and I walk about 30 min a day.:thumbup:

1 cup = 8 oz and your pouch should be about 2 oz. So basically your eating 24 oz a day when you should be eating 6 oz a day.

There is no way I could be satisfied with only 6oz of food....Hopefully I will be satisfied after my fill in October!

I thought that Protein itself was supposed to be 4oz at least...I'm so confused :thumbup:

      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.
