5 months post op



Recommended Posts

I will be 5 months post op on the 15th. I had my 6th fill last week. I am feeling more restriction and I am eatting way less than even last week before the fill. However, I am not losing weight and I am wondering how to get the Protein in. I need some ideas for good Protein Shakes etc. I can eat maybe half of McDonalds cheeseburger, but then end out sliming a little and spitting out the last bit or so.

I also can not eat until around noon or later. Sometimes in the morning I can't even drink Water. Which is fine, but I am having a hard time with the not eatting until afternoon and then still not being able to get much down.

Any input is great

Thanks

Jessica

TRy a warm cuppa in the morning to relax things. Stay away from McDonalds. Try some tuna or salmon or moist chicken and salad and eat slowly and chew well. Stay away from bread. If things don't settle you may need a slight unfill.

Hi, I will be 5 months post op on the 14th and like you Im having some problems. I cant eat in the mornings. I do good getting my meds down before I go to work. I dont get lunch til about 1:30 or maybe even as late as 2:30 on some days. Sadly Ive been grazing on cheetos (thats a big no-no), to keep my stomach from hurting while trying to work. I would also like to know of some healthy Snacks.< /p>

Ive been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months. Im wondering if my ports too full. There is not much I can eat that I dont get the slime and then run to the bathroom. But I still catch myself eating too fast and taking too big of a bite and not chewing as good as I should. This causes me to still be hungry even though I have just eaten.Forty six years of bad habits are hard to break, so Im still trucking along hoping things will get better.

      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.
