Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Well it is now 11 days post surgery. I have a little infection at the site of the port, but otherwise I am all good. i was so ready for it that the Dr's couldn't believe how clam I was.

I only had 2 bouts of nausea last Sun and Mon. I was not ill but dry reached (sorry for being crude). Since then I have noticed my hunger is creeping back more and more everyday. I wasn't too sure it was meant to happen so soon. I an scared that the nausea and dry reaching shifted the band (my fear). I am just hanging for the fill day (not till the 23rd Dec) to stop this hunger. I hate it. I have dropped nearly 8 kgs with 2 week pre op diet as well as the nearly 2 weeks since op and I love the feeling of me shrinking that I don't want to go back. I am doing the mainly liquids but the dietitian said before I was discharged that I could start to have scrambled eggs etc. I have had a few egg whites and things that will melt in my mouth before it hits the stomach and was surprised at how easy it was and like Ish it scares me. Bring on fill day I say.

However, one thing I have to say NO REGRETS.

Cheers

      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?

      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.
