Counting Days



Recommended Posts

I had surgery Saturday 29th at 130p and my mind is playing games on me. Today is Tues the 1st and I can logically say Sat was day 1 Sun day 2 Mon day 3 and today is day 4. But my friend made me realize if I go from Sat to Sun thats day 1 Sun to Mon day 2 Mon to Tues Day 3...I want more then Jello but dont know if I'm justifying it or if I am really on Day 4. Im calling my facilitator to ask but I feel dumb for even asking haha. Just wondering what you guess think...

Yea I was hoping day of Surgery was day 1 but my facilitator said day after was day 1 and also added a day to what I thought the clear liquid diet was over. Eh, I will survive, its for my best interest. Just dreaming of Thursday when I can have coffee and chocolate pudding. To chew something would be amazing but I'd just like to switch it up at this point haha

Luckily my nutritionist gave me a sheet with exact dates when to start each phase. It's nice to be able just to put them on a calendar. Maybe they can do the same for you?

      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.
