Recommended Posts

And the days are just dragging along. One week to go before my Band. I am ready to move over to the Post op questions and answers!

Sorry folks there is no real topic here. I am just venting because I am hungry! I never was good at not eating!!

No wonder I need WLS!

Sandy,

Hang in there it will all be worth it. You really shouldn't be hungry. Are you getting all the Protein in??? Let us know what you are eating so that others can help you.

I don't start my liquid diet until May 4th. I might even try (as much as I can go without eating real food) to start the week before that just so I can lose a few extra lbs. My pre-op diet consists of:

  • tomato or V8 juice (yuck)
  • cream of wheat or oatmeal (i only like oatmeal- peaches and cream)
  • SF pudding
  • SF Jello
  • Dannon light N fit yogurt
  • unsweetened applesauce (i like it sweet)
  • fat free raw veggies (not a fan of raw veggies)

I have to have 4 servings of my Protein shake daily. At least 6of these foods from the list.

This is gunna suck.

You guys are so lucky!!! I'm doing 2 weeks of only Protein shakes! I'm not allowed anything else besides chicken broth, crystal light, and sugar free Jello. I have to drink 4 shakes/day and it's getting old fast!

This is what my diet was, all liquid all the time!

Good luck to all of you. I know it sucks now but I promise you it's worth it in the end.

      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.
