Feeling kinda down

[katied 2]

So today is day 4 for me post-op. My doctor limits my consumption to only Clear Liquids, which I could not be more sick of! I'm hungry and feeling a little down today. I don't really have a reason for posting other then that. lol - pretty selfish, right? I would give just about anything for some yogurt or eggs!

For How Long?

My doctor allowed yogurt during the clear liquid stage as long as it didn't have any chunks.

Stick it out. My doctor didn't allow anything but broth, Jello, sugar-free popsicles and sf drinks (no carbonation or caffeine). He had me on it 11 days, just short of two weeks. It's tough I know. I just finished it on Friday.

I feel down sometimes too. I am trying not to think too far ahead or behind. I am trying to stick to the diet as closely as I can because I need to make this change for myself. My health is ok but needs to be better so I can live to retire and enjoy my family more. There are things I'd like to do with them that at my current weight, I just can't.

I'm sure there are things you want to do for yourself since you decided to have the surgery for a life change. I hope things get better for you soon. Try not to get too discouraged.

:welldoneclap: I promise you things will get better !

Just take 1 day at a time, and it will go by.

I know it's rough, just think about every thing

that you had before, and stick to it.

I can totally relate. How long is your liquid stage? I'm on creamy starting tomorrow and I can't wait to have some cream of wheat. Lol

I can't have eggs until next Saturday.

Popsicles and naps help alot!

I was just looking on my food list and there are NO starches listed for any phase!!!!!! I have been so looking forward to cream of wheat and oatmeal and they are NOT on the list!!!! I had remembered that the nutritionist told me no potatoes; whipped or not, sweet or white; or any breads. Crud! I was really looking forward to cream of wheat. His phases are 1. Clear Liquids one week 2. Full Liquids - 2 weeks 3. Soft Proteins added one week 4. All soft Foods added one week 5. solid food Trial Period Begins
