Discomfort Daily - not sure where to post



Recommended Posts

I was very sensitive and had to progress very slow. I am still very sensitive to many types of foods and have to do things very slow after a fill.

Another thought is that you may have had a fill during surgery. Have you been back to see the surgeon? This would be one of those things you should really talk with him/her about. I would think you should be able to eat at least some mushy stuff at this point.

I would guess that you have had a follow up, if you did was this discussed? If not yet, you should see the doc soon. In the meantime try sipping hot tea in the A.M. I am tight in the morning and if I don't do this I have the feeling most of the day. Does doc still have you on liquids or that's all you can handle. If the later is the case you really need to contact the doc. Good Luck.

I agree with the others. Talk to your Dr. My guess is that you had a fill during surgery (active or passive fill, could be either). Ask your Dr. if s/he did a fill and if so ask them to take some out.

Some of us don't need much before we're in our green zone.

      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.
